Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 20, 2015

Did you invent it?NO!Then you don’t deserve the honor.

And you know that disposable hygiene product sold under the brand name Summer’s Eve? Let’s call that a Jef Mallett.

here i am hoping people will forget much of my past…

Yeah, call it a Stephan Pastis and in half a yerar folks will already have forgotten what to call it. Beat the *&$% out of Rat and folks will remember you for ever.

But Marconi plays the mambo. Listen to the radio, don’t you remember?

Mae West didn’t invent the flotation device.

Did Lou Gehrig invent ALS? Never mind.

And I wonder, what is that frothy something we all call “santorum” and why? Seems that Rick beat cartoon-boy to infamy and a remarkable “legacy for his kids” by about 12 years.

Provo’s Privy………………

Who can forget the legendary invention of John Crapper?

I didn’t invent coffee, but they used to call it a cup of Joe.

I don’t know how to break it to Stephan, but that little “thingy” already has a name. It’s called a “nail file.”

We named our freezer “Earl.” is that the same thing?

Why don’t we just change the name of those things done strippers wear from pasties to pastis?

Titzling?

Perhaps the easiest (though not necessarily the best) way to get something named after you is to show signs of suffering from some heretofore unnamed mental illness. Such as, say, a cartoonist who fears his characters will clobber him over the head as punishment for punning around too much. Then, later, should another unfortunate soul exhibit symptoms of this behavior, we could shake our heads sadly and say something like “man, is that guy going completely Pastis or what?”

Arnold Palmer was the first person to mix iced tea with lemonade. I read it somewhere.

My friends call me Woody….

Yo, Cartoon-Boy! Why are you obsessing over your “legacy”? Just go with the flow, man, and let self-deprecating comic strips with bad puns be your memorial unto the ages….Or did you want to be thought of in a positive light?

Stephan Pastis will always be remembered!

I throught the stuff you clean from under your nails was called Stephan Pastis!!

I get my electric bill from Con Edison.AT&T was known as Ma BellThere is Daimler-Benz, Ford, Toyota.There is the Diesel engine. But I’m glad that I got the discussion going.

Okay, I believe I have come up with the most vicious response/suggestion in today’s comments. How about renaming toilet paper as “Pastis strips”?

Reminds me of a Green Beret memorialized with “Provo Privy.”

Is it right to name a sharp, hard-edged thingie a “Stephan Pastis”? It would be more in character to name it a “Rat”

Now puns, especially very contrived puns, could be “Pastises”

Totally unnecessary; he already has a famous name: Goat. Anytime anyone says goat, they’ll remember Goat.
