Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 03, 2013
Transcript:
Pig: What are you up to, Goat? Goat: I've always been amazed by Madame Curie's work on radioactivity, so I thought I'd create a tribute city I call "In Awe of Curie." Pig: well, that's great. Goat: Not really. A stray cat chewed on some of the wired and died. Pig: So Curie Awe City killed the cat? Goat: You radiate unfunniness.

Goat, just toss the cat into a Schrodinger box; that way, itâll have half a chance.
finale over 11 years ago
The cat would have died anyway from embarrassment about being part of this strip.

That joke almost hurt physically.

Madame Curie WAS amazing. Did you know she won two Nobel prizes?
punmeister over 11 years ago
Goat had to cancel his radio ads for his tribute city, because when the stray cat chewed the wires, there was no more radio activity.

PuhleezeâŠno more punishment like that, Stephan!
punmeister over 11 years ago
Itâs simple math. âSchroedinger sharing the catâ after two âout-ingsâ becomes âSchroeder shar the catâ which becomes âSchroeder the catsharâ which is âSchroeder the catcherâ who may come alive in the batterâs âboxâ for two more âIn-ings.â
Sorry, I got myself all tangled up in this nonsense.
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
What the heck is a âtribute cityâ? All I see in the background is a kind of table laden with sciencey-looking stuff. Why not a Joseph Cornell Box? Or a Petey Otterloop shoebox diorama?This has got to be one of the worst-of-the-worst among Pastis-punsâŠ.

Stephan- it beats the heck out of practicing law doesnât it?!! Hahahahaha. I look forward to reading this strip every day. There hasnât been a strip like this for years that is this good! Pun humor is so hilarious and Pastis has it down to a science. Love it!!
fredrikdp over 11 years ago
So, âCurie Awe Cityâ is supposed to be pronounced as âcuriosityâ? :P
mcsnick over 11 years ago
Doesnât the cat in the box(better than Jack) have something to do with particle physics? about particles that change if they are observed?
Enoki over 11 years ago
This strip seems to cause bulemia⊠Every time I read it I end up hurlingâŠ! :D

I hereby request Steven Pastis to be tried for cruel and unusual PUNishment. Just when one thinks it canât get any worseâŠ. it does. I do enjoy a good loud groan, though.

boogshine over 11 years ago
Should have just made some curios like a box of Curie-Oâs. No dead cat.
Enoki over 11 years ago
Let me add that Madame Curie did have a nice radiance about her⊠A âhealthyâ glow⊠in the dark that isâŠ
Jessica_D over 11 years ago
Pastis certainly has competition based on some of the comments here today!
ChessPirate over 11 years ago
Hey Stephan, does that make Goat the Wizard of Aweâs?
GypsyWoman over 11 years ago
Iâd like to think I have a great sense of humor. ButâŠI truly hate puns. I love this strip but I hate puns. Sorry Pastis.
veranna over 11 years ago
I just love groaners in the morningâŠ.
patsysutcliffe Premium Member over 11 years ago
those who yearn for the crocs to make an appearance need to realize that much of their funniness relies on their only occasional participation in this best of all strips.

HadYourPhil over 11 years ago
Where is todayâs (September 4) comic? I remember when Go Comics started⊠It took forever for them to get the comic magnifier to work. I hope this isnât a repeatâŠ

Sadly the great pun strip of just a few days ago is countered by this awful pun strip.
