Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 09, 2013

Today’s background music: “Gotta Boogie” by Weird Al Yankovic.

Rat’s a troublemaker, and a pretty good artist.

Little did Pig know (pun intended).

Well bonus points to Rat for truth in advertising.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I want one, for my very own! Can I have a Stephan, can I, can I?I’ll bid $10 for this Stephan!

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.

finally we might see some decent story lines!

Nailed it.

Nice try by Rat, but who in their right mind would want to adopt Toon Boy?

I bid $20 for Steph

This is also on a Jeff Dunham scale of imaginary friend banter and hatred

I’m a-pickin’ and I’m a-grinnin’

“I got a girl, she lives on the hill. She won’t do it but her sister will, When she boogie…” – ZZ Top

Put Jeff the Cyclist up for adoption. That guy’s hawt!

Not so worried about the nose picking. Does he "licks’ himself a lot in a certain place and wants to “hump” everybody’s leg when they come to visit you.

My wife could write my shelter story I’m sure and the bad puns would be there and reads comic books all the time would be added.

Has “Stephan” had his shots and been neutered yet?

€ 10

Hey! that’s Slim Pickins . ., . ☻

I bid $25 but only if he’s been neutered.

Rat’s cartoon is a surprise…I thought the only thing that rodent could draw was a beer!!

Give me $25 and I’ll take him off your hands.

What am I thinking!!?? Better make it at least $10,000!

Hope Steph can’t get in for a while. I want to see how rat does. Maybe he’ll get his own strip.

Sounds about right.

Looks like Rat got his revenge…

LOL xxx

The puns are more strained than stupid.

And pass gas every half hour.

Has “Stephan” had all his shots and is he good with kids? If so, I bid $35 and will throw in a bag of “Punny Cartoonist Chow”.

A cartoonist’s character’s cartoon of his own cartoon character, wow, that’s deep man! Like the infinite mirror image…

Is neutering included?

Hahaha…the third panel! xD

It bothers me that Rat draws just as poorly as Stephan.

Forget offering Rat for adoption. Time for some sleeping pills, a bucket, some quick drying concrete, and a trip to Lake Mead.

i bid 300 dollars for stephen!!!!!!!!! as long as he can still draw puns that is :D

Go rat! Even more cruel and unusual punishment.

Lame puns and a lawyer. This is like adopting a cat with diarrhea.

How do you make a tissue dance?****Put a little boogie in it.

It looks like he’s got fleas.
