Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 22, 2022

Does Pig have any sweaters or pullover from the state northeast of Delaware?

why does pig even wear clothes?

What did Delaware to the ball? I don’t know, Alaska.

I tried to think of what was East of Maryland and then I realized that I don’t know the Northeast US that well.

Pig thought Rat knew Pig purchased his new skin tone Delaware-Aware from merchant Della Ware located in Gnu Dell Del. on his new Dell while wearing his gnu print pj.

Never mind, Pig—just wear your New Jersey.

Ouch! What a stretch of your pun-wear.

You ever read an editorial cartoon, Rat?

“What did Della wear? Her New Jersey?” – “I don’t know, Alaska.”

Posted then deleted the Alaska joke, hats off everyone for beating me to it, I imagine if I posted it also I would feel like a Massatwochiitts!

They don’t, Rat. They make me giggle. And Pastis puns do that for me.

They shouldn’t?

wherefore art thou, delaware wear?

Most readers over at Prickly City, much like the Hulk, are pretty much angry all the time. Strip not withstanding.

I like this.

Delawhere?

My allergies are acting up. A silent migraine is beginning. So, it’s a little understandable that I forgot to prepare myself before reading Pearls. Hard to describe the trauma.

I also wonder if he knew where my new New Jersey jersey was?

Oh, great. Another reminder on how little I recall about the states.

I’d like to see something in Honolulu lulu……..

At first, I thought of DC, but then realized it’s not a state. So, it had to be either New Jersey or Delaware. I always enjoy the Pastis groaners.

He doesn’t even wear clothes. Maybe he likes having the option?

Remember when we matched clothes by color and style? These days, you have to match political messages. Wearing blue socks with black shoes used to be a fashion faux-pas. Now it’s wearing an anti-abortion t-shirt with an LGBT support bandana :D

It isn’t worth it…stick with DiStupidland.

Rat is in quite a state.

Truer words have never been spoken

What?

What did Tennessee? Idaho. The Same as Arkansas.

I thought Texas was east of Maryland?

If the lady from the Progressive commercials gave him a piggie back ride, what would that make him?

Then one should avoid comic strips of a political bent. Most are not funny and generally divisive, no matter what side of the aisle you sit.

Some of ya’ll need to take that last panel to heart before leaving some of the comments ya’ll do on this site.

Ugh. I agree with Rat. Not funny, just annoying.

Well done! It’s not everyday to get see those words strung together in a single sentence.

This one is so bad I may steal it.

I have been to D.C. and Alexandria VA, so I know Dela-where.

Of course you SHOULD have used the word “cognizance” in place of “awareness” so as not to be redundant, Steph. LOVE PBS, and never miss a day!

PIG barely gets through life…lol

what did Delaware…? well she wore a brand New Jersey, of course!!

Lighten up, Rat! Can’t you take a joke?

Im ba-a-a-a-a-ck

Small wonder

Love it… little wonder why Our language is difficult to learn

Given that our feckless wuss of a President comes from Delaware, the mention of the name “Delaware” makes me angry.

It’s always a good day when a pun is in the comics page.

Ah, yes the State of nationwide crooked corporation registration.

That right Steve my boy!

Surprised Rat didn’t bat a rat tat under his hat.

I can’t help laughing!

Rat: I put it under there.

Pig: Under where?

Rat: No, the Delaware Aware Ware.

Pig: It’s not Ware, it’s Wear.

Rat: I said it’s under there.

Pig: Under where?

Rat: Did you say under where, under ware, or under wear?

Delaware is also north of Maryland. I once lived two blocks south of it.

Wouldn’t the sentence ‘I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and and and and and Chips in my Fish-and-Chips sign’ have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and and, and and and and, and and and and, and and and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?

You should incorporate that pun.

(Let’s see how many people get this joke.)

Snort!

He didn’t trick him into saying “underwear” ;)

This didn’t make me angry at all. I did emit a loud groan, though.

Ware wear where?There!

I thought Delaware awareness was a brief fad in the ’twenties.

Shove Pastis over

The white Cliffs of Dover(Delaware).

Now I have an earworm. “What did Della wear, boys, what did Della wear?…”

what did Dela wear? Her new jersey, of course

Well I liked it. A bit punny and a bit tongue-twisty, too.

Sigh.

Fricken’ Funny — LOLOL

Can this guy move 200 miles east of Hawaii?

I’m with Rat; this one stunk.

Didn’t make me mad. Not one of Pastis’ best, but I’ll take it.

As usual in these cases, Rat is right. Stifle yourself, Cartoon-Boy, or we’ll provide Rat with a big, big bat….

What did Delaware? Arkansas but isn’t saying so Alaska Georgia!

I chuckled.
