Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 07, 2016

Today’s strip should be taken to the scrap yard.

I hear there’s someone living in their main office — they call him the Press-a-Dent resident.

“President press-a-dent precedent.” Try vocally saying that five times fast.

And if you saw that coming a mile away, you’re prescient about president press-a-dent precedents.

Toonboy been eating chocolate pudding?

Too many dents

This strip needs a brushing with Pepsodent!

Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Mommy – make it stop!!!!!

We’ll start with that dent in your forehead.

Very prescient.

Has Goat spent the rent on the feint of fixing a dent or was he hell bent on getting a compliment from the president of press-a-dent?

Good one Mr. Pastis !……………….Is it something you : Eat, Drink or Smoke ?

To think, Stephan Pastis was a lawyer. Bet he had to repress his sense of humor.

I don’t know whether to chuckle or groan…

God, this blows. Sucks. No mas. Pastis can be so funny when he wants to be, but he more and more wastes his strip on the the absolute lamest puns imaginable.

I knew a body shop guy. He referred to himself as a dentist.

A " presidents discount" Is that where you pay with someone else’s money?

is every male human they meet named “Neighbor Bob”?

The head of our company is retiring soon and enjoys a good pun. So before he does I’ll gift wrap this strip to present the present president with a present.

Slide out the hammer.

Some of these are better than others.

I actually used to do that for a living!

strip needs repair??? how about a complete do over OR at the very least a ’bandaid strip"if i was president of press a dent i would order all dissidents to become decedent and take out their dents in a peaceful and precedent manner – really i would

Auuuuuuuuuuuugh.. I see it coming and I continue to read on :)

I love the Pastis puns and tongue twisters!

Goat just got dinged.

Need to find the people who ask for more pun strips (and whether or not folks want to believe it, there are way too many who want pun strips) and remove their e-mails so Pastis stops doing these strips.

If Neighbor Bob was also doing repair jobs, he’d be setting his own Press-a-Dent President press a dent precedent…

He should have stuck with the crocs.

Yes. There are plenty of dents in today’s strip!

Hilarious though.

To three of the commentors and for the umptieth time: THIS WAS NOT A PUN! Just a play on words.

A lot of comic strips need repairs. Like to see the list? Sorry, it’s too darn long.

“Neighbor Bobs” usually meet an unhappy fate. Can’t say the same for Cartoon-Boy. But I can imagine it and get more of chuckle for myself than out of this car-wreck of a pun….

How do you come up with these? I never see them coming, and then I’m laughing out loud.. Thanks Stephan… good job

I knew one was coming. I told myself I shouldn’t read on. But, I couldn’t look away. Then, the latest appearance of wordplay arrived, and made me groan—and then laugh.

These types of strips are fun. Keep ’em coming, Stephan!
