Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 11, 2018

Try to claim asylum over in Non Sequitur.

Would Seymour’s mom like to borrow Rat’s baseball bat?

Love how even Pig is getting tired of the puns.

Boy, does this joke seem o’er.

That’s a good pun. Need I say more, Seymour?

Ma’am knows her chickens , even if they are pigs

Didn’t he write that book, “Under the Bleachers”? So this must be his mom, Mrs. Butts.

“Trapped in a world he never made!” Hopefully that means Beverly is nearby?

if her son is a bananafish it may not be his perfect day.

Trapped in a world full of puns.

Pastis should get to sea more. It might help with his problem.

Take the red pill, NOW!

I say all three of you should go beat the snot out of Cartoon Boy!

FEED ME SEYMOUR!

Stephan Pastis had a Pig

You hit him with a pun and he’d dance a jig

That reminds me of a joke from elementary school (back in the dark ages): A woman had two dogs named Seymour and Frieshou. One day as she was getting ready for work the dogs escaped. So there she was on the front porch in her slip, yelling “Frieshou! Seymour!”

That was the height of comedy in second grade!

I bet her name is Pearl.

Okay I didn’t see that coming. And humans, and animals should never be dating each other. I never understood that in cartoons. Stick with your own species

I don’t know about anyone else, but the only Seymour I want to see more of is Jane.

Seymour lives with his mom? Who is she dating, Principal Skinner?

Seymour Glass?

And if Seymour is a Moorish sailor… “See more Sea Moor Seymour!”

Wasn’t she also dating his brother, Les?

Here’s a joke from my elementary school days: Who invented the mini -skirt? ………Seymour Heine!

You know, Pastis, if your own characters keep complaining about your writing, maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you something.

Gad, I’m so tired of reading puns in what has been my favorite strip. I stopped reading Overboard when it became nothing more than Fred Bassett lite. Why do cartoonists seem to go out of their way to destroy their strips’ humor?

Its an ok world to be trapped in.

And then there was the one about those birds, the Ratives, who lived on a tropical island. When storms came, the winds would throw them out of their homes, and people would look at each other and say, “Well, the Ratives are nestless tonight.”

“Suddenly Seymour is standing beside you….” —Little Shop of PBS (or Horrors, if you prefer) !

Yes Ma’am, it was just a setup. Everyday it’s a setup. You’re in the Twilight Zone of Puns!

Just being Frank & Ernest ma’am.

Nothing to see more, sea moor, Seymour

This is doubly, no; triply bad. Pig is again stuck with that horrible piggy Pigita; he and we are stuck with another terrible pun from Cartoon-Boy; and, worst of all, Pig and we and even Cartoon-Boy are all aware of just how bad it is! HELP!

It only took three panels!!
