Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 28, 2016
Transcript:
Rat: Where's Pig? Stephen: I hired him as an assistant. So today he's writing 'STP' on all my socks and underwear. Rat: What's 'STP'? Stephen: My initials, Stephan Thomas Pastis. Pig: Okay, Steph. All done. Stephen: I said 'STP', not 'STD'. Pig: I don't hear that well. Rat: Oh, you will so charm the ladies.

Talk about passive-aggressive.

Or was STP supposed to explain the black stains?

I just learned, from a book I was reading, that in France, “pastis” is an anise flavored spirit, fairly strong.Yes, I know that Stephan Pastis is of Greek descent, not French, and no, I’m not making a point. Although if Pastis gets hammered on pastis he’d better not start dancing around in his underwear now.

The D needs that extra line, Pig (no, not to make Ð).

Always be careful of what your children’s initials will spell.

That’s a pig in your poke, Stephan.That’s o.k., Cartoon Boy, your tighty whities, by any other initials, would smell…just the same.
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 8 years ago
Just try to squeeze in a little “U”….“STuD.”
Sisyphos over 8 years ago
We now know that Cartoon-Boy wears tighty-whities. But do we know his name or do we think he has a Social Disease?Maybe he should have started Pig on a simpler task, one that didn’t involve literacy….

Some readers might think STP should stand for STOP THE PUNS

Was anyone else waiting for a physics punchline? (STP means standard temperature and pressure, i.e. 1 atmosphere and 0 degrees Celsius)

Do you honestly think any “ladies” are going to see his underwear?

By amazing coincidence, the topic of my freshman health class yesterday was STDs. Great timing, Pastis.
Cameron1988 Premium Member over 8 years ago
obviously Stephen didn’t see what Pig did yesterday

It won’t look very neat (or should I say tidy [whities]), but Pig can just add a tail to the D to make a P, of sorts.
Mabster over 8 years ago
Pig should stich T.G.I.F. on Stephan’s socks.
Toes Go In First

STP Oil treatment wouldn’t be too flattering on the underpants either.
Rick Smith Premium Member over 8 years ago
Well, would he rather have “P” in his underwear?
