Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 24, 2017

This brings back bad memories of high school on so many levels.

What a well-educated cast we have today — so many degrees!

It’s official. Pastis has finally gone round the bend.

Geometry teachers are probably posting this strip in their classrooms.

What would Jason Fox think of this line of humor?

“You may be right, but that obtuse guy is still greater than you.”

Sorry, but you anglers are all out of line; got that straight, or am I just bent out of shape over this?

Funny. And fun. Even if one-dimensional. Do the geometroids in Flatland read a comic strip called “Lines?”

Should all the angles be included, in the Society?

Yesterday there was a protracted argument along those lines when some of them met on the corner….

But nobody would admit a single point.

Pythagoras is rolling over in his grave.

That’s two strips in a row that Pastis used puns, must be losing his edge.

Whose line is it ?

I think this was an excuse to be lazy and draw a strip of just straight lines.

I maybe going off on a tangent, but if you add a circle here you will get more of an arc in this story.

#StopObtuseDiscrimination

Angles? Wasn’t he the dude who helped Groucho, that should be Karl, Marx?!?

Amazing to have all of the divergent points on the same page.

What is this, Euclidean geometry week at GoComics?

Pastis is just angling for a beating.

Get these guys some motorcycles and they could be Hell’s Angles.

What in the world does being happy have to do with anything, Pig?

Isn’t that more like a Los Angles city council meeting?

So Pastis is a druggie? Must be, he’s doing lines.

Man, he can do some good puns (in my opinion).

what’s my… line?

Punster Pastis.

When we die we flatline.

Brings back an ancient geo-joke, the punchline of which is: “The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides.”

All I can say is thanks Pastis makes my Friday even better.

Too much math stuff for a Friday morning.

Pastis must have a Guardian Angle.

If it wasn’t for geometry, life would be pointless.

This is one of the better pun strips.

Well, I love all of his puns, and I especially like this one!!!

Pig went on a tangent.

grooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooan,but funny

Off on a tangent again. Sin of the times.

If he can show some straight lines to acute angles, he may become Mr. Right…

This math geek (and one-time education major) approves.

ok, this was his best pun/s so far

All this angling, yet no fish.

Angles we contour from π Sweetly dissecting o’er the plane And the radians in reply Protractoring their arc’s domain.

L0L!

Get bent!

I’m just glad Coach Clell Burnett, my high school geometry teacher, wasn’t a square like that guy!

very tri-ing

If Pastis managed to stretch this strip’s concept out for a week, would be considered a protractor?

I love this comic! I love the puns! And the comments are wonderful; I am rolling on the floor (how many degrees I haven’t kept track of).

Keep on punning!

Angles?

Where are the Saxons?

They’ve all got their sacks on for the Annual ’Toon Town Sack Race.

Hey, Cartoon-Boy, how lazy can an “artist” get?

Get to the point.

Every New Year’s Eve the mathematicians sing:

“Should all the angles be obtuse and never cross a line …”

The humor in this strip has no parallel.

That was funny on several levels. Ha?

I mean Haha!!!

HOW aCUTE!! (except the gay line reference)

Stephan needs to check his reflexes.

Funny strip. I wonder if Stephan got any flack for having the word ‘gay’ in the setup line in the last panel.

If it weren’t for geometry, life would be pointless.
