Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 19, 2017

Pig might be on to something.

Pig already has no sects with Pigita!

quit while you’re ahead, Mr. Pastis, on this punchline… this theist asks you

Some of these groups are a lot more verbal than others. How does the Censor feel about oral sects?

Some of them need to be taught that religion is about working together, not fighting. We can certainly use more sect education.

(Ages ago) I used to walk to high school with this nice girl that lived near me. One day, while we were walking along, she remarked how she was struggling with the concept of sets…(as in mathematics.) It took me a looooong time to reply, as I struggled to figure out if I’d heard right.

Just remember, a “Religion” is merely a cult with more members and better P.R.!

I wonder how this passed the editors.

Maybe they should have spoken to the Nashville “church” which just got busted as a sects club.

There was a story in the news a few weeks back about a “Church” somewhere like Kansas that actually wanted to establish their own security police!

That dumb Pig is gonna get Pastis fired.

Down through the annals of history there have always been sects.

Funny thing is it is that which is being censored, not the talk of sects.

At least he didn’t bring up premarital sects.

Looks like the Comic Strip Censor is unprotected! Hmmmm

If you and your spouse belong to different religions, does that make you bisectual?

I’d never join one of those splinter groups.

You might call me asectual.

for sure

So how would you define safe sects?

Is a monastic sect an oxymoron?

And not even mentioned is the danger of extreme sects…

patsis outdoes himself today … should be declared a national ass-et

What’s worse is that some of these religious groups have their own orchestras: sects and violins.

I worked out the punchline after reading the first panel.

Go me.

Summovus MUnkYS preffer Swingin SectS… jus sayin

Catholicism… Protestantism… Great sects.

You sects, I sects we all text for more sects….

I read this comic in Spanish before I do so in English, because I’m trying to learn Spanish. Often the Spanish version makes no sense, until I get to the English one and find punishment. Today they didn’t even try to translate it – just ran an old comic instead.

I kinda feel sorry for Comic Strip Censor Guy, the way he gets picked on by Cartoon-Boy, used as a foil for Goat and Pig to show off their comedic acting skills. (They did handle the script well today, as the inevitable follow-on puns in the Comments show, except for that Featured Comment, where the Replies do not open….)

funny how everyone’s avoided the topic of nuptials among members of the same churches – you know, same sects marriages…

Wondering if insects have sects where they insist on having incest

Sects and rugs and Rock ’n Roll!

The forum posters that decry Pearls’ pun strips are advocates of mirth-control.

Lemme have a few secs to determine wether this is a safe sect.

Apparently, you can talk about sects and rugs in newspaper comics, but not that other thing..

Nice :3

oh theres the censor
