Not the first time good pasta has gone to waste:

What a waste o’ pasta.

I liked it. But Pig is wrong to put the blame on Pastis. Pig is who did not improve Rat’s mood. Everyone knows the key to comedy is timing.

That was a pun that was pasta its prime.

Cartoon Boy is more noodle-brained then usual today.

A bowl of macaroni would certainly improve MY mood. A lot more than a penny, anyway.

Rat is so spaetzle, orzo he thinks he is!

Yeah Pastis, you forgot the Parmigiano Reggiano.

I just hope we can get Pastis past this pasta hysterics.

Wonder how he would treat zits.

Keep on punning!

Surprised there’s no mention of FSM yet!

Does that taste nice, Pig?

Today’s background music: “Shaddap You Face” by Joe Dolce.

Pig somehow walked away to the left and came back from the right. Must be a dialog transporter.

Pastis pens penne pasta pun!

World groans. Says “that ain’t punny; it’s puny!”

Comics critics castigate Cartoon-Boy!

It kinda looks like pig got his brain ripped out or something in panel 4.

Would you like some tots for your Penne? https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/05/18

Wait a minute… in Canada we don’t have pennies any more! Phrases like that are obsolete! No way am I paying a nickel for anyone’s thoughts!
