Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 07, 2016

Be happy, Kid, you don’t have his genes!

Could be worse; she could have been a Biking Individual Touting Cyclists’ Helmets.:Next!

Somebody do something about the now constant punning.

I’d rather say the letters one by one (dee, oh, pee, tee, aye, dee).

Wonder if Stephan has kids that wish they were a doptid?

Or the Antonin Scalia School Of Law …

Stephan didn’t have room for the final panel — the one with Rat swinging a baseball bat at S’s head while saying something appropriate.

Keep it up, Steph! *Some of us can get from A to C…."

oooh, now I get it.

Well, if wasn’t depressed before….

He’s depressed, and Pastis is desperate.

Could have been an Individual Developing Independent Overall Thoughts.

“Grooooaan”…

Why is Neighbor Bob depressed?

Come to think about it, maybe that’s why he has no hair.

Antonin Scalia School of Law was a real thing until the people running it realized what it stood for.

Daughter should be happy, not depressed, to find out that Bob is not her father. That means there is a chance she didn’t come from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Darn good question!

The small college in northern Michigan I went to years ago opened a new student dining center, naming it after both the States and Canada. After placing the large letters over the door, some genius realized USACAN was not a good name for a dining facility. It was quickly reversed to CANUSA. True story.

how old is Bob?

DOPTID… “adopted” for those who are scratching their heads…

Yes, be alert—join the Lerts today!

Did Pastis do today’s Mother Goose and Grimm?

Ugh. I took one look at the acronym on his sign, and before I even read what it stood for, I knew where this was going.

People Obsessing Over Puns Here Every (Almost) Day Steph.

.Large group!.

steph’s puns are so awful that they’re great. i don’t need coffee with my puns.

I truly didn’t see that coming! Lol.

Oh, geez, Pastis, you’re going to harm what few brain cells you have left if you keep this up.

She should be relieved.

Acronyms sometimes require extra attention.

Do something about the people who foolishly say to keep the puns coming. The puns used to be decent. Now to satisfy those who think the strip is almost nothing if it doesn’t have a lot of puns, Pastis must pun far too often and the quality of the puns is going down.

I saw this groaner coming right from the start, but couldn’t help reading to the end. I am addicted to Cartoon-Boy’s wretched word-play! Is there no hope for me? I may become ADOPTID!

Wow, you want to describe bad puns as decent. Sorry, not buying it. Decent puns elicit at the very least a grin and at the best laughter. They don’t elicit a groan. You groan at a bad pun.

Keep ‘em coming Steve. Those that don’t understand just don’t have the same sense of humor. Just keep ’em coming.

If shes his daughter how old is he

Daughter: woo! I knew it
