Transcript:
Pig: Did you hear Stephan has begun painting? He's starting out by painting nudes.
Goat; That's terrific. A lot of great artists have gotten their start by painting nudes.
Pastis: Painting nude.
Pig: Sometimes that extra 's' makes all the difference.

I’ll bet Goat wishes he could unsee that!

It’s actually very hard to paint nudes; they keep squirming and saying, “Stop that!”

Rat, where are you? Pulverize Mr. Pastis for his lame punchline again… AFTER you’ve clothed him.

Goat now looking for brain bleach to get that image out of his memory.

And we all wish Pig had been right in the first panel rather than the third.
Course on the plus side for Stephan, Pig’s sister Farina will probably be crazy for him now. After all, she once dumped Rat for Ziggy because “He’s a real man.” And he wasn’t wearing pants back then. She dumped a typically naked rat for a guy who ran around without pants, she’d probably go ga-ga for a guy in nothing but a ball cap.

Stacy? I think you’d better move away. Cartoon Boy has gone nuts…

For Pete’s sake, what the heck is all the yelling all about!? So Stephen is nekkid. Big deal! So are most all of the others. He should maybe have a towel to sit on, however…
Arianne about 9 years ago
Yes, it’s true. Rat, Pig and Goat are also butt nekkid. But, now that Toon Boy has joined them, like Pig said, that extra ‘S’ makes all the difference.

on the September tour,,,,,,,will all the fans start by saying to Pastis “no pun intended but……………”?

You gotta feel for Goat. I’m going to go wash my eyes out. With soap.
Sisyphos about 9 years ago
So, now the truth (and a lot more) comes out! Cartoon-Boy is an exhibitionist! In fact, he’s had a number of exhibitions, I do believe.I don’t know that I want my cartoonist to be a practicing naturalist.I hope Goat recovers his vision….
Reppr Premium Member about 9 years ago
I guess he can call it “S” if he wants to.
mammamoonbeam about 9 years ago
So OK. He’s painting nude. But WHAT is he painting? By the size of the brushes and paint can, it has to be something BIG!
Cameron1988 Premium Member about 9 years ago
and yet he keeps the cap on. Stephen ought to audition for “Naked and Afraid”
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 9 years ago
No nudes is good news..
whiteheron about 9 years ago
Is he naked? Or neked? That one little letter makes all the difference ’round here.

Poor Goat. He will likely have to wash his eyes out for 15 minutes, then seek therapy… LIKE THE REST OF US!!!
Lucid Premium Member about 9 years ago
Can’t UNSEE that!
TimeLord about 9 years ago
Besides, painting nudes wouldn’t be that big a departure. He’s be drawing nudes for ages and they completely got past the sensors. Mommy! Mommy! Goat has no pants!
However to be honest, if I had been Pastis I’d have drawn larger paintbrushes. I mean, have SOME ego…
steverinoCT about 9 years ago
Given the number of “weekend Ts” I own with paint on them (I’m wearing one now) painting nude sounds like a good option.

That’s our Stephan—using a broad brush when it comes to punny material!

Nudity is comics is as old as comics themselves. Consider the following iconic characters:Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Pepe LePew, etc.We even had humans — the “Love Is” couple comes to mind (though they had the same gonads of Barbie and Ken…)We could add the pantsless Donald Duck and Porky Pig.
Rush Strong Premium Member about 9 years ago
But it wasn’t a full ‘S’, it was only a half ‘S’ display.
NWdryad about 9 years ago
Goat’s expression is priceless. Nothing fazes Pig. Pastis naked should not be seen for any price.

Is there any brain bleach going spare? Seems I’m not the only person who is asking for it.xxx
WaltWenger Premium Member about 9 years ago
In a column to the right of these comments I see an ad that says, “Hire Stephan to Speak at Your Next Event!” Think carefully, my friend, think carefully.

I’ve heard of writers who write in the nude (I’m not one of them, but I’ve never heard of artists paining in the nude.
Andrew Bosch Premium Member about 9 years ago
I see that Stephan uses the kind of paint brushes that are normally used for painting walls or door frames. I wonder what he is using for the detail work???
claire de la lune. about 9 years ago
Same with commas! Entire children’s books are dedicated to the subject.

Can I join the brain bleach club? Might need some extra doses, too …
tgrfemme about 9 years ago
To my eyes he’s covered what could be considered the “naughty bits” unless you count the buttocks. More seriously, do pass that mind bleach! ;)

Several years ago, a friend of mine and his wife go to a beach in Santa Barbara where going topless is the norm. He looked over the boardwalk and saw his daughter.
