Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 18, 2019

Did Stephan dig up a joke he first told in 1983?

After Gaye popped out of the closet, Peter Pan exclaimed he was in love with a fairy; then everybody jumped for Joy

I wonder what Marvin himself thinks of this?

The original joke was bad, and then you bring blackface into it? Stephen, I suggest you erase this post and replace with some crocs and zeebas,

Skating close to thin ice there, Pastis.

Y’mean you didn’t say that with pride, eh, Pig?

I loved Marvin Gaye, an ‘Grapevine’ is one of my all-time favorites.

Another major talent snuffed out by a gun in the hands of a deranged man, his father, of all people.

Good Party, No whiskey, We go home …….. Croc Power !

Pig can do with some Sexual Healing.

I had a girlfriend whose first name was Gay! I would introduce her: “She’s Gay!” We got looks, loved it!

Typical mindless PC silly comments. The mask looks like Marvin Gaye looked. Marvin Gaye was black you know. Should Pastis have drawn him white?

As in Marvin!

I wonder if Pastis is thinking “furthermore I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued.”

(Sorry, wrong performer.)

Hey Pig, ’What’s going on’?

Pig further embarrassed himself when someone shouted, “Let’s Get it On!”.

Interesting decision by Pastis to run a Marvin Gaye joke two days after Father’s Day (Gaye was murdered by his own father).

“Bet you’re wonderin’ how I knew ’bout your plan to make me blue…….”

Where’s The Gay Ranchero?

Or he could have dressed like the little Looney Tunes Martian but with a Pride button.

That Pig is such a Pip ;)

Funny! Crocs and Zeebas always welcome too!

LOL

Well, it is Pride Month

I’m proud to say I’ve never come out of the closet.

It’s terrible humor when one knows what’s coming from the first window.

Mr. Pastis – did you have a rough night and decide to kick a hornets nest when you got out of bed?

Witches Be Loco!

Aww, Marvin Gaye. Kinda feel sad now. Great joke though. I can understand why they say there’s a fine line between humor and not so humorous.

Patsis probably could have used Gay Talese instead of Marvin Gaye to avoid all these “blackface” comments and offend only on group. As it is, he offended two groups. Jeez, grow up, it’s just a cartoon and PC wasn’t that needed here.

Stephen, your are great…. I had’nt got the foggiest idea on what you were writing and drawing, but all the mislead comments show that, you must have done something right… Keep up with the good work !

Poor Piggy was just being honest!:‘( And that’s a GREAT song!!!

In my community, being outside the standard 5 sexual orientations is considered perfectly acceptable, if a bit odd. Being straight-XX, straight-XY, gay, lesbian or not interested doesn’t even get up to the “mention it when describing the person” level. Height, hair color, body-shape, apparent gender and skin color do.

i, for one, am very upset at the lilac-face

Pig’s feet! In his mouth again! Pig has a wonderful way with words, always setting himself up to be misunderstood.

It’s a gift.

It was totally misconstrued. They all thought he was R. Kelly.
