Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 23, 2020

After freeing Lance, you can try to free Will.

Dumb!

So Pig doesn’t understand the word “freelance”, but can use the word “incarcerated”?

I wonder if Rat is referring to his job at as a barista at Joe’s Roastery. He was never a model employee. I’m surprised Rat manages to keep any job.

A pretty free-wheelin’ discussion.

There should be a way to use a lance to break out of prison.

In prison, Pig would be able to talk to Lance-alot!

he could also opt to freeload…

Don’t quit your job until you have a successful freelance income, Rat.

Personally I would leave Lance in jail, but I would free Dom.

I’m thinking this could wind up in a free-for-all!

And Who is on first ?

And in panel 3# we see the use of the reverse pun … Croc Power !

And don’t forget to free Dom.

Not in the authoritarian hellhole of California. They made freelancing illegal, as a worker protection. You do not know what is good for yourself.

Oh c’mon! What is this ‘finally’ crap? Rat’s quit his jobs so many times over the years that I’ve lost count. And you know, sure as shootin’, next week he’ll be right back at them, like nothing ever happened.

The SubGenius must have Slack! Repent! Quit your job! Slack off! Praise “Bob”!

He could Free Lunch, but TNSTAAFL.

Please Rat, the Bat!

If it’s Lance Lawson, I have some ideas why.

LOL! POOR PIG! He’s hopelessly dumb!

Pig, you’re supposed to be a smart creature.

Who’s on first?

And that is why Rat should never leave the house without his bat.

So, the same drawing four times.

This is one of the funniest strips in awhile. Very Good!

Wasn’t Rat a barista? That’s going to be hard to freelance.

’Knew a guy named Free Bert once (RIP appropriate for the Jewish or not?)

Thank you, Stephan, for a laugh to relieve some cabin fever! Keep it up! 8-D

#FreeLance2020

Third base!

Sounds like all y’all have the Bad Pun Virus.

After wandering through the aisles of a health food store it seems someone has freed Huey Gluten.

Maybe he can do something about what happens to poor Chet every Christmas. “Merry Christmas To You”.

That’s Lance Boyle, right ?

To play along with Pig, what did Lance do in order to get put into jail?

Is there really such thing as a free lance barista?

Okay, Rat and Pig; take this act to Las Vegas and see how it plays in the dinner-and-a-show venues.

Personally, I think a bunch of the old comedy duos all did it better….

I’m surprised pig knows the word “incarcerated…”
