Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 16, 2014
Transcript:
Stephan Pastis' wife has left him. As a result, he has started dating again. Pastis: Listen... I had a wonderful time tonight. But I'm not sure we're a good fit. Lady: What's wrong? Pastis: Well don't take this the wrong way, but you're kind of a worrier. And physically, you're not really my type. Lady: What do you mean by that? Pastis: Well, no offense, but you're a little out-of-shape. And your hair's a bit your hair's a bit stringy. Lady: Is that so? Anything else you'd like to add? Pastis: You have no nose. Lady: Please don't draw on my face. Pastis: But it looks soooo much better.

The sad part is, Cathy actually looks better that way.

Add the fact that she never changes her clothes.

Didn’t Cathy Guisewhite threaten to sue Steph into oblivion if he ever mentioned her? I saw the clip.

I think Cathy looked better before Cartoon-Boy disfigured her face. If there’s any suing to be done, it should be for malpractice….P.S. How did the date turn out, Cartoon-Boy?

Even if “Cathy’s” creator doesn’t sue Steph, his wife may sue him for making their private lives public.

And a pulse is always a positive. Hmmm…I wonder if cartoon characters have a pulse?

Cathy does have a nose. A small bump seen in profile. It’s just that you very rarely see her in profile.

Didn’t Cathy get married?

Steph should try his lick with LuAnn, or Margo. or Tommie!

So, Cathy grew a nose, and Pastis wore a tie. Two firsts!
My birthday happened yesterday by the way.

@aleurophile17—I first typed in “lick”, saw the mistake, and was gonna correct it to “luck”, then decided to leave in “lick” & see what responses (if any) that would get!

It’s only a matter of time until he makes it over to Pibgorn and a demon turns him inside out. (Although it might be worth it.)

Cathy needs a nose but not drawn by Stephen since he makes them all long and crooked, even on ‘attractive’ women.
Atanwat over 10 years ago
Hasn’t anyone noticed that NOT having a nose might be a significant advantage when sitting at a table with Stephan?

Ha—the hybrid comics are always fun.
About that nose you drew, though, Steph—ehh …
Good one.
