Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 30, 2016

You don’t want to know what Stephan has planned for Thanksgiving.

Your puns come from a garbage can…

well, blow me down (after reading the second to the last panel)

…they turned on the gas and burned my…well you know.

I must confess, I really enjoy these much more than is healthy, hahaha

“I ain’t no physicist but I knows what matters.”

Popeye the Sailor

great, now I’ve got that tune rattling around inside my brain

This is so bad, it’s kinda funny.

Just paint the eyelid green and go as Mike Wazowski.

Looks like Pastis ate a little too much spunach…

A pun a day keeps the doctor away………….

The one one good thing about this, folks, is that it’s reached the stage where it can’t get any worse……… (can it?)

Oh my gosh

Toot toot!

He’s wrong to the finish.

Nah. The stores are doing a wonderful job of that.

As George Santayana said “Sanity is madness put to good use.” I’m glad we have given Mr Pastis a reason to think about word games instead of politics.

Lay me down in a bed of spinachAnd don’t sto eatin’ ‘til you’re finishedOlive Oyl

I want that fifteen seconds of my life back

I’m buying my can of spinach now…

Actually, I laughed….. I guess the modern world is so stupid….

I usually don’t laugh at these. I can’t actually remember the last one I have laughed at. But this one actually made me laugh. ‘Pup eye’…. lol

Eye just threw up in my mouth a little.

It’s worse than that, Rat. He’s killing his career.

too much of a stretch, this one didn’t work very well. try again next sunday.

I always enjoy Pastis’ stuff – Rat says and does what often goes through my mind and I’m always amazed when he digs even deeper (just when you think it couldn’t be worse) into the bottom of the barrel with his puns.…“Ferrets’ Elf” is still my all time favorite, tho’.

Love it!

What’s sad is the number of younger readers who won’t get the reference!

I laughed way more than I should have at that.

The Residents would love it.

He ham what he ham

Bow Wow Burgers?

That Pastis! He just ain’t right!

Made my Halloween!

Yes, as Rat says, you’ve ruined Halloween. But that’s nothing compared with the ignominy you’ve subjected Popeye to, and he’s not the kind to just roll over and ignore you. He’s one tough gazookus what hates all palookas what ain’t on the up and square!

well done today Stephan!

Damn, son!

I love the puns!!

Stinko, Steve!

crocs don’t pun

Sad. Pathetic. Really. What the hell is wrong with this guy anyway. And finally, maybe the worst thing that you can say about a comic strip—NOT FUNNY.

♪ I’m Popeye the sailor man / I lives in the garbage can / I eats all the worms / then spits out the germs / I’m Popeye the sailor man / toot toot ♪

Pastis,,,,Don’t listen to the naysayers,,this pun is fun(ny), and earned a HUGE belly deep laugh from me. Seldom comment, but this one earned one. GREAT JOB.

WARNING: Don’t eat Oriental hamburgers. SPCA

These strips are worse than spinach

wow !!! This one took a lot of thought to set up Pastis. Or maybe not.

LOL!!

no allure here…

Oh my god. That pun was so bad I damn near wet myself laughing.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH !!!! My eyes , my brain , my body …… I feel sick and giggly . Damm you Pastis !!!!. P.S. Good one , a Canadian fan

On the plus side, Olive would be a much better girlfriend for Pig than Pigita ever was.

:

Of course, I still want Stephan to bring back Sweet Fanny!

Funnneeeee! I like it.

According to Rat, Stephan ruins everything. Halloween, Christmas. Easter. You name it.

xxx

I am what I am.

I yam what I yam and that’s what I yam

Ooooooh that was bad Pastis

Cartoon-Boy is on the couch! I think he exhausted himself crafting that one! It is imaginative, in a very warped sort of way.Now, I wants me a can o’ spinach!

Lure! Lure! Lure….

I think we need a new non-commissioned officer to dole out penalties for bad word play. Sort of a Corporal PUNishment, if you will.

Ay chihuahua, Steph! Sheer Pastis genius — you know we love it! LOL

I had to say that a few times fast to get what he said in the second last panel.

Aaaaaaaaaaand he’s back after infecting a bunch of other comics…

Well, blow me down! I though pig was dressed as a member of the Residents.

And just think: Pastis gets paid to write/draw these strips.

Eye can see clearly now. Your not alone, Stephen.

I’m usually a fan of his puns, but this was terrible!

Popeye the sailor man
