Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 16, 2018

Pig should soak them in water to dampen their plans.

TEACHER! TEACHER! TEA JUST TEASED ME! WAAAA

He’s not too upset. He didn’t want to go out with a couple of old bags anyhow…

te amo, té (herbal)

I don’t tend to use tea bags anymore since I was given a loose leaf teapot about thirteen or fourteen years ago. And around here I can go down to Tea Bros. factory at certain times of the year and get seasonal teas I don’t find in grocery stores. Their eggnog tea they had last year is quite good and does have the taste of eggnog.

Just as well – they’d probably get Pig in hot water..

TEA HEE

They’re just asking for a good boiling!

They were just stringin’ him along.

Be prepared for a steep learning curve when you start dating tea…

Slow day at the idea factory, eh, Pastis?

Hot Salad Water.

That was pretty restrained and still funny. He could have taken it one step further, like “These teas tease”.

Not to worry pig, they’ll get their lumps for this.

Booze boos.

How long has it been since they last hung out together? Oolong.

I could think of a pun, but I’ll leaf this one alone.

You’re a teatotaller, Pig. Drink em.

Time to TEAch em a lesson, Pig.

They got you, Pig. It was a TEAm effort.

They’re Republicans looking for a Tea party and anyone to join them.

They’ve got something brewing.

If they’re going to be like that, then just throw them into the harbor.

One pun too many. Sorry, no likes today.

Talking teabags?

Let’s see. A comic strip about tea bags having a joke at the expense of a hapless pig. AH! A STRIP TEA’S TEASE!

If the tea bags sprouted wings and left they would be the teas tease fly

Pastis, it’s the “Pekoe” your punning career!

Who are you calling a dip?

Doesn’t that just boil you, Pig?

Wisecracking teabags should be consigned to a cup of very hot water at once!
