Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 08, 2011

what can you say?

Who selected this jury?

Can’t wait to see what technicality this case is thrown out on.

sniffle but I love the Pastis Puns! They make my week! :"(

This strip broke through the fourth wall about a week ago, and now it’s about 3 miles beyond it.

This strip’s BEEN through the fourth wall and back again several times. That’s one reason why I adore it!

Yaaaaaaaay! —You’re doomed, cartoon-Pastis!

I think that Pastis should get a hold of the guys over at Sluggy Freelance and have a guest week.

But yea, the forth wall has been broken, and I am sure that the broken wall cannot be fixed.

I just polled the jury and there were only 11 Yays. Go a head, do a head count. So we have hung jury. As in; ‘If we don’t hang together, we will surely hang separately.’

Where is the Family Circus guy in the jury?

YAAAAAYY!!!

Only 11 on the jury? Mistrial !!

I think you’ll hang for that.

Your Honor… I object. On the grounds that you & the jury are not Mr. Pastis peers. I therefore move for a mistrial.

I would miss the puns! You know it’s a good pun if you groan!

Quilty: Send him to the punitentiary.

And the gavel fell.

I have a feeling that this is all leading up to one big pun…I hope!

I also like the Sunday punnies!

Boo!

I don’t suppose this is all a dream like yesterday’s strip.

If you excel at puns doesn’t that make you a pundit?

trivia: nowhere does it mention trial by one’s peers. this is not a right guaranteed anywhere. it would a peer tho that mr. p is not accepting the fact that commentary pun dits hold a conviction against this witty-ness? bleah. shoot me. shoot me now.

Methinks Pastis’s defense needs a few dashes to go with the dits.

no other strip comes close to this one in excellence.

Pastis better hope he doesn’t get sent to a military prison. No officer would trust his parole.

Maybe rat, the judge and jury should all hang out together……☻

ha…. my fave comic strip

theyre not canceling it r they?

Looks like Mr. Pastis is about to become the new best friend and prison bride of 350 lb Mr. Mahmood Ali.

hahahaha, the last frame is classic!!

Wise Choice Mister.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

No, no! We Readers really LIKE this strip and want MORE MORE MORE!!!

This is a protest! Free Pastis now, or I’ll take my laundry to the nearest appliance store and throw it all around, and I won’t stop ‘til the sheet hits the fan!

That’s right — I make puns too, and I’m revolting!

For some reason I could see this story line turning into a parody of “Miracle on 34th Street”, with Pastis’ fan mail being delivered to court in an effort to save him.

Since they are not going to hang him he could say “No noose is good noose” – Just a little gallows humor – Please forgive me. He could have been a swinger, like Tarzan maybe – just hangin’ around. Hate to see a good hemp rope go to waste anybody got a light? I’ve heard of a hung jury but that’s a little extreme. Then there was this plastic surgeon who hung himself. He was a Chinese doctor named One Hung Low.

Surrender… surrender… but don’t give yourself a YAY!

I WANT PUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only line worse than “The jury laughed at me.” is the additional line “and the judge participated.”

This is one crazy comics

Cannot wait to see how Stephan gets out of this one!

Umm, no. Stephen, if you let this mock inferiority complex go to far, you might end up feeling that way. That would not be justified…Someone redeem Stephen!! What happened to Pig and Duck’s plan?

hahahahahahaa

Yaaaay.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding, Steph.

Noooo—the puns must continue! Along with the great cast, including the “Zeeba Zeeba Eata” crocodiles! I’m serious, but LOL—this one was great.

I realize this is not the way it is going (and don’t want it to end), but you have to admit, this would be a pretty funny way to end a cartoon strip’s run, with the creator being thrown in jail.

Rat in glasses – funny.

i think i would fry rat. its not ham but it was ok when thats all we had.

Not quite. “Judgment by your peers” meant that the nobility could only be judged by other nobles, and the clergy by other clergy. A peasant, otoh, could be judged by anyone and everyone.

YAY!!!!!!!!!

Never use bandwagon reasoning.
