Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 23, 2019

Back off, censor guy, or we may have to whippet you.

Hoho! The censor is the one with the head full of shih tzu.

When the censor is finished with the Shih Tzu, he’ll need to deal with the Finnish Spitz

Shih Tzu! God bless you!

Do Chinese people who are learning English get the joke?

I wonder about the smell in that room .

Maybe the Censor would like a large mushroom? What are those called again???

I remember when Family Guy had to go and he kept seeing bumper stickers that reminded him of that. Things like “I love my Shih Tzu.”

???

wouldn’t that be every room in the kennel?

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before…what do you call a cross between a bulldog and a Shih Tzu?……..

You realize that Shih Tzu jokes are probably older than Nancy Pelosi, right?

At least they didn’t use the word for a female dog.

If you go to an animal exhibition with only one dog breed, it might be a Shih Tzu!

Rat wants to breed dogs so that they can chase away and kill all the cats who are his sworn enemies?

I feed shiitake mushrooms to my shih tzu.

Or as Triumph would say, “This is a good strip, for me to Shih Tzu on.” Much appreciation for the hardworking censors out there. You do your job well and are good censors.

Nothing escapes that beagle-eyed censor.

what kind of dog is in your wallet?

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Cockapoos, a breed apparently invented to sound dirty.

Next, the censor will redact the plans with his sharpei marker.

Rat is constantly hounded by CSC guy…

What do you get when you cross a Shih Tzu w/ its close relative the Lhasa Apso?

Lhasa Shih.

next it will be a geography class of cities in thailandPhuket

It used to be that comics were funny. Now they, like the rest of our culture, are sinking to the lowest common denominator.

Next will be discussing pigs foray into mushroom farming with a certain type of mushroom not fit for our Comic Strip Censor friend.

Next Rat will have a shelter for every kind of bird, including a titmouse. After that he will draw a map of every city in Austria.

is this cartoon shown in other languages?

or……PEE- kanese

No one expects The Comic Strip Censor!

Again, where is the bat?

We have a Shih Tzu / poodle mix: a Shih poo. I think that name is redundant.

I really don’t give a Pekinese…doesn’t have the same ring.

I wonder if Albert Pujols has a Shih Tzu…

Why would Shih-Tzu (pronounced SHEET-Zoo) be considered a bad word?

Saw a marquee on a motel in the UP. “We are Pet Friendly – We Shih Tzu not.”

Love the Comic Strip Censor. So shut, up the rest of you!

Just don’t bring up the cockapoos!

What, no rooms for mixed breeds? Where is my bull terrier shih tzu mix going to stay? Man, that is bull shiht!

fantastic. how not to say a meanie word, change it into a dog name

Boy, what a downer Comic Strip Censor Guy is! I bet he never had a dog when he was a lad. He has grown up bitter, uptight, and angry. Sad man….

Um… hello? WWE fans anyone? John Cena brought this joke out at Wrestlemania 35, and it hasn’t even been a month since!

So the dog breeder’s coming home after a night of drinking. He asks his wife how his new dogs are doing. He says to his wife, “Did you think of a name for this new breed? I thought about it, but I couldn’t come up with anything good.” His wife snaps, “I don’t care, so long as you get them out of my house. Look at them! They broke out of the kennel and turned the living room into a total $#!& ZOO!” Breeder: “Thanks honey!” He staggers upstairs, writes it down, and misspells both words because he’s drunk. He wakes up hungover the next morning, sees his paper, and is too lazy to think of another name. And that’s how the shih tzu got its name.
