Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 20, 2013

The ottoman often caused the collapse of Dick Van Dyke.

Whoever was in the seat of power shouldn’t have taken it lying down.

Perhaps he could have couched it in more familiar terms…or maybe padded the description a bit

Pig wants to talk turkey, Goat.

When the Barcaloungers team up with the Davenports, they are unstoppable.

I think Goat would have better conversations with Verne than Pig or Rat.

Ottodesu is an Otto man. I don’t know any Otto ladies.

The ottomans were defeated because they were led by the Grand Divan…….who folded under just a little pressure.

I thought I should make a comment today.

I think this is really quite funny

Only a Laz-Z-Boy could write a strip like today’s!

The ottomans lost because they were disarmed

What about the Great Collapse of Winterhold?

And its great Sofa King

Okay, okay; today’s Comments, otherwise known as Puns Gone Wild, have sated me! So I’ll just note that I don’t recall studying the Barcalounger Dynasty in history class—unless they where a collateral offshoot from old Hamilcar Barca, father of a more infamous son….

@Notsoastute—It caused a crisis at the United Nations when someone dropped the Thanksgiving Day dinner…it meant the fall of turkey and grease, & the breakup of china!

These comments are the funniest series I have seen.

No one seems to recall the invasion of the Mongol Horde, and it’s leader, Futon the slightly familiar. He claimed the country as his own, and pronounced himself King. Unfortunately, eating Turkish cuisine gave him severe gastric issues, and he spent most of his reign in the bathroom, which is why, to this day, toilets are referred to as Thrones.

Silly Goat, you otto know by now.

I always say I learn a lot from the comics. Today, I have had quite the history lesson. Thanks! Great and funny (punny) comments today. Lots of laughs.

He otto know better that Lazy Boy

I think that “tiny little sofas” is a lot funnier than “. . . that an empire built of footstools [or hassocks] would collapse.”

LOL That pig! He’s such a hammock!

The La-Z-Boys could have conquered the Ottomans, but they lacked the motivation! ; ))

There’s a game where “the Empire” is trying to take over the whole universe and a little kid reports about an airborne fortress by refering to a “flying footrest.” Without missing a beat my husband turned to me and said “They must be the Ottoman Empire.” it craked me up for a week….

ok pig no more history classes in woodshop, at least untill they stop making furniture

I don’t get this

Lots of word play today, but there were NO PUNS that I could find. Folks please Google it if you don’t understand it!
