Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 07, 2014

Ahhh, quit your grapin’

Give Rat one good raisin not to attack Stephan with a bat for that one.

I guess that is the raison d’être of the day.

OK… this is getting old…

Dont be such a prune

a simple bat or a vampire bat?

Exactly! That’s my whole raisin d’etre.

He met his new girlfriend at a mincemeat&greet.

that’s just grape

It’s plum silly, that’s what it is.

I bought a pear of lottery tickets… hope there’s no raisin not to dry any more.

I’ll have to check the currant winners.

Not everything good though…..Some day Ricky will end up in a bowl of Rice Krispies.

Obviously his hopes didn’t dry up like a raisin in the sun.

What’s different today is not Cartoon-Boy’s usual atrocious pun but that Pig puns. PIg! The darling dolt of the PBS universe makes word-play! What an inversion, as the swine casts the pearl!

he’ll lose it all, in less than a year

He was a grape until he spent too much time on the beach.

“Best of the Day” to danfromfreddybeach.Special “Stretching Concept to Absurdity Award” to Susan Sunshine.

What is this beater/compressor machine that gets dumped in a tub?

That is so BEAUTIFUL! Thanks.

Good thing for Stephan that Rat wasn’t around.

I can’t decide if Shoe is worse than this one today.

Good

It’s all fun until they make mince meat of you.

Mad once did a spoof on Portnoy’s Complain and called it the Gripes of Roth.

Stephan, you win the Audible LOL from me today. I thank you. Keep it up and ignore those who were trained as children that puns were a bad thing worthy only of groans. I haven’t done any formal polling, but my vote is for “Keep them coming”. (Not that you care, but there it is.)

Sour grapes, Pig.

I gues he’s on the beach working on his tannen…

That’s an awfully big raisin!

Well, now Pig can say he heard it through the grapevine…

Does Ricky’s new girlfriend know he’s seedless?

First, he gave men tinnitus.

Thus, he made man’s world one unending Aural Rorschaktest.

Then, he made the other side hate all puns, feghoots, shaggy dog stories.

That’s like giving all guys two yellow cards before we even got on the field.

Love it, Pig!

xxx

Everyone needs a raisin d’etre.

You could say he is raisin cain with the new found dough

All these jokes about raisins, and none about BRAN?!?

BTW, my comment yesterday should have said Area 51!

Am I the only one who hates that raisin?

The raisin is the opposite of a country music song.

You know what Ricky’s going to need in his old age?:Raisin cane! =rimshot=

He’s going out with his girlfriend….Kayne. (Going to my room now!)

Ooooh myyyy….Clap clap clap

If Ricky owed some money, would he become a raisin debtor?

It’s his raisin detre

Never saw that one coming … ouch!

Pastis isn’t in the strip, but I know he’s hiding somewhere and I’m sending Rat and a bat after him.

LOL

That’s one giant raisin. Does it sing?
