Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 03, 2013
Transcript:
Pig: What are you up to, Goat? Goat: I've always been amazed by Madame Curie's work on radioactivity, so I thought I'd create a tribute city I call "In Awe of Curie." Pig: well, that's great. Goat: Not really. A stray cat chewed on some of the wired and died. Pig: So Curie Awe City killed the cat? Goat: You radiate unfunniness.

Goat, just toss the cat into a Schrodinger box; that way, it’ll have half a chance.
finale over 10 years ago
The cat would have died anyway from embarrassment about being part of this strip.

That joke almost hurt physically.

Madame Curie WAS amazing. Did you know she won two Nobel prizes?
punmeister over 10 years ago
Goat had to cancel his radio ads for his tribute city, because when the stray cat chewed the wires, there was no more radio activity.

Puhleeze…no more punishment like that, Stephan!
punmeister over 10 years ago
It’s simple math. “Schroedinger sharing the cat” after two “out-ings” becomes “Schroeder shar the cat” which becomes “Schroeder the catshar” which is “Schroeder the catcher” who may come alive in the batter’s “box” for two more “In-ings.”
Sorry, I got myself all tangled up in this nonsense.

What the heck is a “tribute city”? All I see in the background is a kind of table laden with sciencey-looking stuff. Why not a Joseph Cornell Box? Or a Petey Otterloop shoebox diorama?This has got to be one of the worst-of-the-worst among Pastis-puns….

If you park your butt on a weird looking chair are you a curio settee?

Stephan- it beats the heck out of practicing law doesn’t it?!! Hahahahaha. I look forward to reading this strip every day. There hasn’t been a strip like this for years that is this good! Pun humor is so hilarious and Pastis has it down to a science. Love it!!
fredrikdp over 10 years ago
So, “Curie Awe City” is supposed to be pronounced as “curiosity”? :P

Doesn’t the cat in the box(better than Jack) have something to do with particle physics? about particles that change if they are observed?

This strip seems to cause bulemia… Every time I read it I end up hurling…! :D

I hereby request Steven Pastis to be tried for cruel and unusual PUNishment. Just when one thinks it can’t get any worse…. it does. I do enjoy a good loud groan, though.
flashnzoom over 10 years ago
Love it made me laugh!!!
singlefemalelaywer over 10 years ago
SNORT !!!!!!!
boogshine over 10 years ago
Should have just made some curios like a box of Curie-O’s. No dead cat.
Enoki over 10 years ago
Let me add that Madame Curie did have a nice radiance about her… A ‘healthy’ glow… in the dark that is…
Jessica_D over 10 years ago
Pastis certainly has competition based on some of the comments here today!
ChessPirate over 10 years ago
Hey Stephan, does that make Goat the Wizard of Awe’s?
GypsyWoman over 10 years ago
I’d like to think I have a great sense of humor. But…I truly hate puns. I love this strip but I hate puns. Sorry Pastis.
veranna over 10 years ago
I just love groaners in the morning….
patsysutcliffe Premium Member over 10 years ago
those who yearn for the crocs to make an appearance need to realize that much of their funniness relies on their only occasional participation in this best of all strips.

Though I thought it was quite funny.

Goat is right, Pastis. Of course, your lucky rat didn’t hear it.

Oops, sorry, submitted it twice accidentally.

And she died of poisoning from her own lab equipment. She was brave to do such a dangerous job.

In all the pun strips, is the last panel with Stephan really necessary?

WCLamb over 10 years ago
@JPuzzleWhiz -I had the “full page ad problem” too. And when are they going to post TODAY’S comic?
HadYourPhil over 10 years ago
Where is today’s (September 4) comic? I remember when Go Comics started… It took forever for them to get the comic magnifier to work. I hope this isn’t a repeat…

Sadly the great pun strip of just a few days ago is countered by this awful pun strip.
