Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 10, 2013
Transcript:
Goat: Hi. Today I thought I'd read you a little Shakespeare from this bar stool. Ahh, you say, where's the humor in that? I'm reading the bard in a bar! Rat: Oh, gawd. Pastis: Make it stop. Guard Duck: I could have him taken out, sir. The entire "Pearls" cast is in prison, except for Goat, who now must carry the humor of the strip while the other characters just watch.

Humor like this should be bard from the strip.

Wait a sec.. It’s the people inside the prison that are supposed to suffer!

Man, even Stephan Pastis is mortified by that one!

No worse than the other puns we’ve seen around here.
Proginoskes about 11 years ago
Shakespeare was such a potty mouth. (He’s responsible for the expression “the beast with two backs”, for instance.)
WoodEye about 11 years ago
The only one that couldn’t just step through the bars and escape is Pastis.

Please, Goat, for the “Pearls Before Swine” readers’ love, bail everyone out!

Goat just hasn’t had enough wine. A couple more and he’ll be dancing on the bar and shooting out the lights.

Goat looks very odd face-forward..

Goat is channeling Diane Chambers, methinks. What we need is Norm and Cliff.
Sisyphos about 11 years ago
BOO! (Throws rotten tomato in Goat’s general direction.) I want my money back! I had a toothache that was funnier!…It’s way funnier in prison. Who does a guy have to rob to get thrown in the clink with the funny ones?
eddie6192 about 11 years ago
Puns like that should be barred.

Tomorrow Paris will read from Shakespeare’s drama, "Julius, Grab That Woman Now!‘…That was the title until Bill’s editor made him change it to “Julius,Seize Her”!

Goat is very reminiscent of Frasier Crane. I always thought that Kelsey Grammer would be perfect as the voice of Goat.

Brilliant – Pastis now can use all of his rejected bad puns and blame them on Goat
rshive about 11 years ago
Can Goat be dis-bard?
finale about 11 years ago
Well, everyone is either in bars or behind them at least.

Goat and lemmings need jail time
Me3000 about 11 years ago
all the worlds a stage and the goats, pigs, and rats merely players
of course in this world they are all merely dinner (yes even rats depending on the year and position in the world)
hariseldon59 about 11 years ago
Yes, I think Herp means the lemmings. But there actually were some moles featured in the strip a few years ago.

Lil Guard Duck! It’s not enough that he’s already behind bars, now he’s making death threats. He can get a life sentence or worse end up on somebody’s dinner plate.

Zebra’s not locked up. Lets see if he can carry the strip!
William Ellwin Premium Member about 11 years ago
