Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 08, 2018

Stephan, people can see you’re trying.

Oh boy.

I bet the girl cots cost twice as much as the boy cots.

Quote from Goat: “I hate this comic strip.” Here I have to agree with him.

It’s a tiny tot, no need for snot, we don’t want a lot, feelin’ very hot, gimmie all you got, boy cot boycott.

Boycott? In today’s overly sensitive world, shouldn’t that be childcott?

Did no one else notice panel 2? Either Pig has suddenly developed telekinesis, or they’ve got a serious infestation of poltergeists in that store. Either way, something is seriously off about those tables.

Cot on the wrong foot, this time!

It appears some people don’t cotton to your sense of humour Cartoon Boy.

At the risk of sounding too rational, having sold beds for several years, I can’t think of any logical reason boys and girls would need differences in cots. Lame premise.

As if the first panel didn’t give it away I saw the people with signs in my peripheral vision that pretty much gave it away. We see the same thing in beds today, but they are called “Sleep number” beds.

Ignore all the haters, Cartoon Boy!

I’ve discovered an important thing. The comedy isn’t painful if you aren’t the coyote.

P5 – Rat beating up protesters.

You have COT to be kidding, Toon boy…

Pig, when you’ve cot to get a cot, you’ve cot to get a cot.

Buy them both, Pig. The boy cot can be plugged into the girl cot and when joined together they make a bigger double cot, Pig. It’ll be useful after you marry, Pig.

so funny! love it!

Get the one with the fresh peach. After March it will turn into the April cot.

Psych cot ick.

Pig needs a dog. He could a Malemute …. oh never mind.

If you’re Canadian, it’s People cot.

OMG, the amount of puns this particular strip generated in the comments section today is unbelievable! It’s making my day!

I’m preparing to take my commercial drone pilots license test so I can get paid to fly. However, a lot of the questions on the test have nothing to do with flying or even safety. I could write more, but I don’t want to drone on about my pro-test protest.

My favorite self-deprecating cartoonist!

Another pun? Get me a sign so I can join the protestors in the last panel!

This strip just goes to show how “professionally offended” some people are. It’s kind of pathetic to be honest.

Keep the puns coming!

Pun away, pun-head. I love every low down, wretched, reeking play on words you can muster in your musty brain. I’m here for the grit and the glory!

I have to say that one was pretty weak.

Now, this is a Protest I would join!

Sorry, Cartoon-Boy, but that was a very lame pun….

Usually I would expect Stephan to take it one step further: Like having a friend Scott buy a cot, so Pig has a “Scott buys boy cot boycott.” Or he wants to take a nap in the water so he has a “bouy boy cot boycott.” You get the idea.

Those people in the last panel should be boycotted for boycotting this awesome comic strip!
