Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 08, 2017

Who’s on first

I don’t know

Third base

Never heard of a denim trousers brand named Guess before.

Guess it ended bad, Lee.

Rat’s about to start kicking some jordache.

We used to have a jeans company in Canada called Great West Garment Co. and the jingle was: " I’m George W. Groovy in my GWG’s"

Doesn’t fit in with the puns, but I thought you might find it interesting…

Maybe you can still Wrangler it out of him, Pig!

Sorry, Rat, but if you want it to stop, you’ve got to visit Stephen.

The jeans miraculously give Goat thick legs.

Who wears Levi’s?

Guess Who.

I think those jeans make Jor Dache look big.

I always thought it hilarious that there are Guess brand watches.

Homage to the masters. Well done, suh, well done.

Thank god for Sergio Valente!

Is this funny? Guess.

I’m with Rat on this one…

Templo, "Guess is a huge brand, selling denim jeans as well as other clothing and products. Marty McFly wore Guess jeans in “Back to the Future.”

This is obviously inspired by the famous “Who’s On First?” routine by Abbot & Costello.

The guess would not be Lucky.

One has to wonder why Goat is wearing jeans since the animal characters usually don’t wear clothes. What’s more, he’s wearing jeans without a shirt.

They’re all in California, but Paris is in Arizona™.

I never wear jeans. Leggings for me.

I like only noh theater! Wait, wrong bit

Rat got his wish!

His frustrated outburst in panel 3 pretty much ended it all, except for Goat’s parting words.

Thank goodness Cartoon-Boy didn’t use himself as the jeans-model!

I always loathed and resented My Mom’s Grammar Lessons.

Haaaaaahahaha!! Thanks, Stephan!!

I used to do that to my sister all the time. “Hey do you know what kind of watch I’m wearing?” “No.” “Guess.”

That was a long time ago.. the year had a 9 in it and it wasn’t 2009.

I’m GUESSing this would last so long…

I think the characters in this strip only wear clothes when clothes are part of the joke.
