Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 04, 2015

At least he didn’t say, “…and die!”

When Lady Diana was still alive, someone had a novelty song called “Drink Up, Chuck and Di.”:Really!

Would also work to give the censor man a dog. What breed? A shih tzu.

If this were a Chinese restaurant…. Oh, I’ll let someone else have this one.

I read somewhere that Rat is the character that reflects Stephan’s dark side. This strip confirms it beyond any doubt.

Seriously, this idiot censor is getting ticked off by that? It’s shē – ’tä – kē. Sounds absolutely nothing like what the censor is screaming about.

so I am guessing the censor’s name is Akee?

And the Mo-rel of this story is ?

The one situation where Rat does not hate puns.

Pastis vs. Breathed?

censorship doesn’t work. uk has those internet filters, and then, the head censor is in prison for child porn. protecting the children that was a lie.

The crowd roars as Pastis scores again!

“Succotash my Balzac, dipshitake” – Extremely Loud Incredible Close Maybe Pastis is channeling Jonathan Safran Foer.

@ Juice- BruceKudos on that pun!

No that’s not what my dog left on the floor. That’s it’s name, a golden-doodle

Mr. Censor… not a fan of mushrooms? Do pigs like truffles? That’s how they make their living… sniffing around in the dirt.

I was in the checkout line at PetSmart and the couple in front of me had a bulldog/Shi-Tzu mix. Yes, they called it THAT..

I know where Rat would like to bury that hatchet. But trapping Comic Strip Censor with an unassailable pun is the next best thing: let’s all watch CSC’s head explode!

Bah-haha!

Next Rat will offer him a pet bird.

“What kind is this?”

“A titmouse.”

Well as they say, the person with the dirtiest mind is a censor.

Gotta love that Rat! Keep it edgy Stephen!

LOL

actually i heard the mushroom being used as an epithet substitute in a spy kids movie. the adult(more or less) stretched out the i as if going to say the cuss word and catching herself in time

I have a friend who owns a German/Polish restaurant and when he is able to get fresh shiitakes, he makes a Jagerschnitzel. He does a pork schnitzel and makes a light brown sauce and adds the shiitakes to the sauce. Divine!!

I’ll be seeing my lawyer — certainly I can get something from Patis for forcing me to spew a breakfast liquid at my laptop screen…

This one’s getting a little close to the edge. Somebody needs to flip the switch on Stephan’s dark side.

Pig should give the Censor a shih tzu1 as a pet…

1 think about it…

Absolute masterpiece today, Pastis.

censorship is dumb especially when there is so many loopholes. Battlestar galactica got away with using the F word by simply making a new version of it

Boy howdy Pastis is riding close to the line today.

He should take him out to the reservoir and dam him. Or turn him into a donkey. or . . .

Must have watched some MXC. One of the challenges was Eat Shitake!

The Comic Strip Censor is a great character, I love how he puts Rat in his place.

But obviously the laugh is on CSC today!

xxx

Next they could go to a Polynesian restaurant and have the pu-pu platter.

Still sneaky Pastis! Your strip is now on very thin ice with me! And posters: I suggest you keep your suggestions about me to stop reading this comic anymore to yourselves!

Reminds me of an exclamatory phrase I saw on Facebook …

“Holy shiitake mushrooms!”

Good one.

Who could complain?

I laughed out loud for this one…

Hahahahahahaha

I’ve always wanted a shitzhu-poodle mix just to tell people I have a shitzpoo.
