Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 19, 2014

He won’t have to worry about the sixth or ninth commandment anytime in the near future.

Today’s background music: “Nuns” by Big Daddy Graham.

KSSHH? That can’t be good!

Kneed the wrong one in the groin. You wanna talk to Pastis and really get him to listen, you must first demonstrate your skills on someone else. Like Rat.

Nun 1: “Now, let’s continue this conversation in the confessional cage box.”

you deserve that Stephen, don’t forget to whoop rat’s ass as well. one more thing, never call a Nun ‘Babe’ it’ll make things worse.

Ouch, right in the oompa loompas!

I hope that nun is not an English teacher.(discuss with the…nuns and me)

Nunjas

I didn’t think those nuns still did that stuff…especially not officially…I mean, I really thought they’d be out of the habit.

REPENT, NUNS!! REPENT!!!

The Sisters of Perpetual Pain…?

My first mother-in-law, when she was a little girl and learning to write, had her left hand fingers broken by a Nun in Newport, RI. It was considered a sign of the devil to be left handed. True story! (That must have been back in the late 1920’s? It would never happen today…yeah right?)

Funny – my Great-Aunt is “Sister Mary.” She’s a cloistered nun though so she wouldn’t be making any “house calls.”

Well, that’s… unconventional ;-)

You were warned yesterday, Cartoon-Boy! It is the Righteous Wrath of the Good Nuns, the deliverers of God’s message to the sinner! Well stroked, sister! Spot-on to the oompa loompas!Repent while ye may, Cartoon-Boy!

Don’t mess with nuns. It’s not just coincidence that they dress like ninjas.

mushed the plums indeed

…with my fellow M.M.A. nuns and ME.

I wouldn’t be a grammar Nazi except for published works. You have influence and gross errors like this should not be taken lightly.

Besides, it’s an affront to nuns everywhere. (But I REALLY love your work.)

Did you hear the one about the 2 nuns driving through Transilvania? Suddenly a vampire appeared out of nowhere in front of their car. One nun turns to the other and says "Show him your cross’. The other nun sticks her head out the window and says “Get out of the road your git”.

Ouch, that really had to hurt!

Rhonda Rousey is a nun? Who’d of thunk.

Today might be a record for PBS comments, the numbers are growing ! Ya-Ho !

We had nuns like this when I was in school.

Right in the ol’ OOMPA LOOMPAs.

I’m of the opinion that the kneeing site (incidentally, I do think they’re supposed to kneel, not knee) is a little high up for the oompa loompas. Also, in the post-trauma panel there’s a black smudge on Stephan’s belly, unless smudges on this computer are able to move up with the text. Finally, when such injuries happen on TV, the guys always double up and roll around in agony. Maybe Stephan is suggesting this, but being uncharacteristically discreet.

My daughter has her B.A. She’s an English major. When she comes back to the States she hopes to start on her Master’s in Library Science. The reason I bring this up is because of Faulkner. Her only failing grade was on a workshop based on his works. She HATED his lack of proper English. This is a child that from age 11 on read Twain every summer for fun. (His lack of grammar etiquette irked her as well, just not as bad.) She has a saying “Faulner f**ked me up”.

I thought their weapons of choice were rulers ….

I’m disappointed that a man as obviously educated as Steph would write a nun saying “….with…..I”. That’s very illiterate, and it ain’t well english neither!

Look out,I’m a NUNJA!

“Yes, we’re from the Mary Magdalene Abbey… of death!”

Who would have guessed nuns wore purple slacks under their habits?

Poor Stephan can’t do right for doing wrong!

Bad grammar. She should have ended her sentence with “my fellow MMA nuns and me,” not I. When in doubt, take the other name out and see if it sounds wrong with the word I there.

Ooh, he got it right in the nuns!

I wonder how the nuns feel about mishyphenating “of-fen-sive.”

“… NUNS AND I”??? This grammatical error is getting rampant and annoying. No excuse for an professional writer, even a cartoonist!

Indeed … better watch those Oompa Loompas, Pastis.

That, or get a bodyguard.

I went to Catholic School for 12 years and you do not mess with the nuns.

Sister Mary Elephant never went into the playground without her “yard” stick.

Stephan was my hero when he had the strip about the lemming who misspelled “all right” as “alright” and then died going over the cliff right after his grammar error. I was surprised & dismayed when he had the nun say “fellow nuns & I.” Maybe he was just getting in another jab at the nuns!

What kind of meat does the Pope eat?

NUN!

Nobody’s made a “nun”-chucks joke yet? I’m disappointed, GoComics readers.

No nonsense nuns.
