Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 17, 2017

Stephan doesn’t know anything after John Mellencamp.

Pig’s droppin’ beets… on the table.

Not too fly, even for a white guy.

If pig drops the bass, I’m outta here. I’m not picking up a dead fish.

next thing you’ll know there’ll be Alfred Yankovic’s potatoes for when you’re on the couch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YDOZjrVMAY

Wait until Cartoon Boy finds out what DRE stands for.

This is still better than the “normal” pun strips. That’s 2 in the same week. I hope it means he’s learned his lesson.

2 strips involving puns that were better than the “normal” pun strips he subjected us to for years, that is.

Do you have to buy separate sets for the rhythm (by Busta) and melody?

Goat drinks a lot of Tea. Just sayin.

Merchandising is out of control; Disney is particularly egregious. Why, just the other day in the supermarket I saw “Frozen” peas.

What good are awesome expensive headphones when the music is already super compressed by the studio to raise the volume (loudness wars = reduced dynamic range) then you convert that to mp3 which throws out even more information because it’s a lossless format. Play all that on an inferior player and the only thing you’ll get with $100+ headphones is more ability to hear what’s missing.

there is a beet company called ‘phat beets’ though, and they are nummy

I still prefer my “Studio Monitor” headphones by Dr. Sony.

Another so-called artist that has bowed to the whim of commercialism and corporate greed!

Pig knows who Dre is? That’s way more awareness than he typically shows.

Last year there was a Black Friday deal: $70 off “Beats By Dre” headphones. I’ve never spent more than $20 for headphones; what’s so special about these things that their sale price is discounted $70?

Next he will want gold from Mr. T, all the carrots he can get.

You know Dr. Dre’s not a real doctor. I just wish he’d told me that before I let him take my appendix out.

I’ve entered a competition to win some Beats earphones. You can enter as many times as you like until the closing date.

My takeaway from today’s strip is that those fresh beets Pig bought should taste good (I like beets, even if some folks don’t).

Cartoon-Boy should get a sound thrashing (sound—get it?)….

This seems to be the rare strip where BOTH Pig and Stephen are portrayed as dummies.

Carrying a handful of vegetables and…. I drop the beets. Whoops.
