Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 21, 2019

I hope the contractor has a harpoon.

Could not have imagined a dafter rafter!

Is that George Raft?

After replacing the ceiling rafter, Pig will need to replace the wall panel put up during the 2016 election

The rafter will have to come down sooner when he gets hungry and needs to use the toilet.

If that is what my rafters look like, no wonder they leak.

No 4th panel with Pastis getting what he deserves?

Is he attached to the ceiling fan? Can you spin him around? Throw darts at his raft.

Pig could have said that ‘he has quite the altitude’, and still been correct.

Probably related to Cyclist Jeff.

What will they replace him with?

What’s the rafter working capacity I wonder? Might be oarsome…

Fire him when you can

“Okay, rafter. Get outta my house oar else…”

Oh buoy, that rafter’s a neferryous villain all right.

Water you gonna do, Pig?

I hope he doesn’t break poor Pig’s scull with that oar.

Guard Duck time ! …. Croc Power !

It be cleare that Mr Pastysse readeth Chaucer, ywis “ye Milleres Tayle.”

Release him to his natural environment, just south of Niagara Falls, NY.

Not the kind of guy you want to hang around with.

Wow, Cartoon Boy, even for you, that’s lame!

Why replace? Quick, PIG!!! Cut the ropes…..

It is a paddle, I think. Not an oar. Oar am I thinking of something else?

Send him up the river.

The puns are really coming rapids-ly.

Rat get your bat-NOW!

Hit me with is oar what? You’ll get a paddling like you’ve never experienced…

FYI, Ceilings have joists, roofs have rafters.

OMG Pastis, let me have a SECOND cup of coffee FIRST!

That’s a paddle…not an oar…

Technically, that’s a kayak, not a raft…

Oar?

Song of the Volgar Boatmen:

“I’m a boatman, gee I’m sore. I came home without an oar.”

Every so often we HAVE to give Toon-boy the freedom to drop a real stink-bomb like this one! That’s part of the fun of Pearls, the groan-inducing puns and wordplay.

Come on, admit it, you secretly LOVE those groaners… and no one does them better then Pastis!

“Look kids, it’s a pinata!”

C’mon,Goat can deflate this guys ego with one horn blow!

That’s just …. bad.

Pastis! I’m surprised your characters did not confront you on this one.

Is that Jeff’s brother?

And I thought Pastis had reached as low as you could go, but …

The home for bad puns

Pastis you are DERANGED!!!!!

That’s a paddle not an oar!

It’s puns like this that will send Pastis to Hell in the here-rafter.

I mentioned you in my comic today ay Onlyonrbub Cartoons on Facebook, check it out.

That’s a tube, not a raft.

This a seriously strained pun, Cartoon-Boy! Still, a ceiling rafter (paddling his raft) is quite an ingenious stretch!

From Hell’s heart I stab at thee!

Oariginal sin!
