Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 01, 2015

Then you would be out of a cushy job, Rat.

And some of us would really miss the puns!!

One of those strips where Pastis reaches a little too hard and ends up giving us an extremely lame pun after all that effort.

I find today’s humor simply titillating.

as Rat breathes out a thigh of exasperation.

Perhaps it already is, Rat.Kudos to @Sherlock Watson for his usual high quality comment.

If you don’t know what a nugget is, what makes you think they’ll turn you into a bunch of them? They could be made of beaks.

The Mysteries of Life.1. Why are people born?2. Why do they die?3. What the heck is a Chicken McNugget?.The world will never know…

Look, if I’m going to accept the premise of a talking chicken breast on a plate (waiting to be eaten, no?), then its rather simple wordplay has to be tolerated. Not loved or even liked; just tolerated.Meanwhile, Cartoon-Boy, we’re coming to get you….

Keep a breast or two for me too Pig. Thanks.

This is bananas! If Stephan’s going to use talking food in his toons, then maybe Rat is justified in going Børk! Børk! Børk! upside his head.

Larry Croc says it tastes like chicken.

The chicken breast can relax: everyone know well that there is not actually any trace of chicken breast in McNuggets.

I was just kidding earlier, of course. I would never really encourage Rat to børk Cartoon Boy, or verbally batter his chicken breast strip. I take the sweet with the sour, and I’m perfectly sataysfied with this one.

knightly nights where it is easy to see nightly knights

Go with Wendy, she’ll make you into a spicy sandwich.

10/10 again Sherlock Watson !

Would brining the breast be considered breast augmentation?

For those of you who love puns and such. This is a great site.

just think instead of talking heads we could have talking breasts. as a friend of mine use to say so many years ago “can you picture that?”well maybe, maybe not and still remain sane

Why is It on a platter rather than in D Cup?

@Kali39 ..Re: Chicken McNugget … As Krusty said about the Ribwich … “.. Think smaller and with more legs ..”

Would the strip go tits up?

Sometimes i think it is dying a slow painful death! Bring back the crocs!

Good thing pig wasn’t doing sit-ups or he’d need an ab-rest too!

They’re really milking this for all it’s got.

You sneaky barstool! I didn’t see that one coming.

It already is Rat, it already is..

Puns are like sex: even when it’s bad, it’s good.

I read all the comments and now I am going, ta-tas for now.

You think some of your readers are looking for tit-elation?

I disagree, Rat.

anyone in favor of saving breasts is a friend of mine.

BRACK! American Male Testosterone high level alarm!!!

“Chicken” nuggets are one of the best reasons for becoming a vegetarian!

I love the puns! I don’t know how he thinks them up, but I’ll be happy if he just keeps doing it! :-D

What we guys actually hear:“Blahblahblah BREASTS blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah BREAST blahblahblah BREAST blah blah STRIP blahblahblah.”

Being the “other white meat”, pig has a dog in this fight. pork chops, chittlins, bacon, and ham -mmmmm!

OK, Rat—time to break out the baseball bat on Pastis again …

Shame you couldn’t have had Rat asking “OK, what boob wrote today’s strip?” :-P

Niiiiice dodge on the comics censor there, Pastis!

It is, rat, it is!

This was one of those days where the sentiment in panel 4 is correct. Perhaps they should run re-runs when Pastis doesn’t have any decent ideas.

Ah – this reminds me of the Fruit Buddies, as in Pig talking to food.

Well, I know it’s not chicken. The last one I ever ate was breaded fat and connective tissue. Yum.
