Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 07, 2013

thats up there with “may you live in interesting times”

Please stop the punishment!

I do love those crocs.

Submerge François and his amis in cooking oil and you’ll get a french dip with french fries.

Yep, self-deprication is no substitute for good work.

where are the dolphins when the french guy shows up??

Don’t get in that pool with all that “oui ouiing” going on!

Surrender monkey jokes are always funny

french dip? the stuff people dunk their roast beef sandwiches? does anyone make a good french dip?

Toon Boy is very desperate lately.

I don’t think I would enjoy going into this restaurant and ordering a Swiss on rye…or a freshly-baked Danish…or Chinese cooking!!

Obviously you are new to Pearls. Puns are the “word” here.

“Surrender to me an Italian Sub”

Au, that’s Jus bad!

I liked the “French Dressing” one better myself

Pastis must have been reading old B.C. strips where this joke came from.

Aren’t we supposed to call that ‘freedom dip’ now?

Eau my!!

B.C. Dip in road comes to mind :)

in the political hysteria of the last decade that would be Freedom Dip

At least they weren’t dipping while dancing…or while skinny….which brings us back to the dangers of pools…

Enough with the characters knowing it is a comic strip. It’s funny no more than once every ten years.

C’mon – I dare you… Let Rat swim with the Frenchman and…. (Cue the Drama Music) The Dolphins!!!

Argh! Another one?! When will he move out of his mother’s basement and get a REAL job?!

Jeez, Poles yesturday, French today, guess tomorrow rat will find out they don’t take Czechs there either . . . ☻

Ok that was a little funny but when the pun isnt shown and is really stupid I agree with rat

SLM

what? no chips with that dip?

I think Rat leads a short life…just look at him.

So why is the frog wearing a scarf in the pool?

Ok, i agree with rat on this strip.

Tomorrow Rat will go to an Asian grocery store and meet the Chinese checkers.

the waiters nose is freakishly big
