Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 30, 2012
Transcript:
Pig: Hey there, goat...how's it going? Goat: Good. I'm meeting my friend, coach Bob. He's an offensive coordinator for a footbal team. Pig: Oh, he must love that. Goat: Usually. But right now, the team is scoring no points, and he's taking a whole lot of heat for the lack of offense. Pig: Really? Goat: Yep. So if you don't mind, don't bring it up. Don't even hint at it...oh, here he is now. Pig: Nice to meet you, Couch Bob! Let me buy you a coffee. But don't get the french roast. It tastes terrible. Coach Bob: What are you talking about? I love their french roast. Pig: Oh, no offense. *crack* Pig: He took offense.

legaleagle48 about 12 years ago
Thatās probably the most subtle pun Stephan has done this year!
Proginoskes about 12 years ago
What? The punchline wasnāt āthe best defense is a good offenceā?
Varnes about 12 years ago
Proginoskes, No, in this case, I think itās āNo defense is the best offenseā¦.ā Pig had no defense, and that helped Bobās offense a lotā¦ā¦..
Sisyphos about 12 years ago
Coach Bob is just doing his job: mustering the best offense he can. Of course, playing against Pig really makes his game look betterā¦.
jeff_e about 12 years ago
Coach Bob should go for the decaf.
Dave Thorby about 12 years ago
Coach Bobās team should employ Rat ā heās the most offensive character in the strip!
eddie6192 about 12 years ago

If we could still rate strips, Iād give this the lowest, and I love the wordplay strips. To me, the two words donāt sound the same at all and thereās no way any coach, from anywhere, no matter how rural, backward, or television-free, would confuse the two. ā¦ just my opinion.

āPearlsā operates under an unusual legal code.Apparently, a person can ā without fear of arrest, prosecution or even litigation ā walk up to Pig and kick him, club him, or punch him in the face anytime.
GoodQuestion Premium Member about 12 years ago
Thatās a 5 yard offense ā punching out the pig-skin . . . ā»
tuna1 about 12 years ago
You sure his name is Coach Bob? Looks more like Mike Tice..
boogshine about 12 years ago
Ouch. This implies that Coach Bob pronounces offense like someone unfamiliar with football. They call it AW-fence, Pastis, not uh-FENCE. Ah well, good effort.

tazz555 about 12 years ago
Does anyone know where Pastis lives so I can knock some sense into him when it comes to really bad puns
Logical Duck about 12 years ago
I thought Pig was going to reveal that he thought Bobās back yard was open plan, and his neighbor had frequent bonfires. So Bob took a lot of heat for the lack of a fence..
singlefemalelaywer about 12 years ago
Offence takenā¦ā¦.
imbaldeagle about 12 years ago
Well you canāt really blame coach Bob. Heās probably been a croc in previous lives and has anger issues based on being killed so many times. Youād probably take offense too.
Hectoruno about 12 years ago
@CorzakAs opposed to our legal code where someone can slit pigās thoat and than cook and eat him.
yolojudge23 about 12 years ago
i get it he is standing up for thier french roast and hes gonna put him on the team
Kev_a_Swing_Dancer Premium Member about 12 years ago
@packratjohn:) I really shouldnāt lay the hate on a strip I like so much. After all, I didnāt actually hear what Pig said. ā¦Maybe his subconscious did him in with a substitution. (Iām also weakening on the coachās familiarity with certain words.) [grumble, grumbleā¦]
Hank The Sock about 12 years ago
Poor Pigā¦ I think he getās abused a bit too much :(
the burser about 12 years ago
just weak pastis!
Don Jackson about 12 years ago
Thank you Steve for making it easy for me to change āBobā to āToddā for all of my Steeler friends!!!
