Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 21, 2017

Dim-wit.

You mean he’s lost it?

and dim sum.

That reminds me I need to buy more Dim Sims.

Paris seems steamed. You’d think it would be Pig, really.

This requires knowing how you are charged for dim sum which I suppose most people could guess given the context, but not everyone.

Sum Ting Wong is the waiters name.

Bum pun from ding dong.

They just totaled the bill wrong.

Making it a dim sum.

I hope Stephan notices he gets 90% negative comments with this tired and annoying “pun strip” format.

Also, how many “likes” my comment a few days ago got, when I pointed out that a variant “punny” strip was actually funny, and as close as he should get to a “pun strip” like this. It got a lot more love than this strip’s getting.

I happen to like Stephan’s puns. His problem is that the best ones need the elaborate build-up he can only do in the Sunday strips. Many of those are masterpieces.

@GARCOA: As long as gocomics refuses to incorporate likes into their determination of featured comments, I concur in the opinion that the best approach is still to not reply directly.

I find nothing wrong in the pun creations. It’s part of humanity, and obviously, of some animals. Let Pastis do his job as he sees fit. The disagreeables can always decline to click on the strip.

I wonder if the crocs and mister snuffles ran away from home to avoid these horrible puns?

[Quoting Alexander Pope] He who would pun would pick a pocket, sir.

It is said that the pun is the lowest form of humor….when you don’t think of it first…

Love Pastis’ puns… If you don’t, switch to something else

The punnier the funnier :-)

Sing along with Sherlock: “Everybody dim sum tonight…”

@sperry532 You didn’t take into consideration his plus/minus 2% accuracy range. Making the 89.275% three digit precision impressive, but pointless. Everyone knows you make up a stat using 4 digit decimal. I mean come on, anyone can do three digits!

If they don’t let you leave until you pay, then the wrong sum on the dim sum will be a ransom.

Another great one, Stephan!

Had to look up “Dim Sum”

(Goes off to find a big enough hole in the floor to fall in)

Dim sum is nice, but I like bright when I’m doing serious summing.

Make Cartoon-Boy eat all the little plates ( the plates, not the food on them)! Then, we’ll see who’s Dim Sum!

i like puns.

My mom likes Dim Sum, and I like slim puns!

Wow! Nearly a pun!
