Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 26, 2020

Where’s the comic censor when you need him?

But you don’t seem to be wearing clothes, Alien.

We store (and count) our under drawers in drawers under counters.

Who you guano call?

What does Steven Spielberg think of this day’s strip?

Oh. My. GOD that stinks!

Hats off to you man! That’s quite a distance to go for the punchline, but you did it with style.

You need owl guano to make hoo-siery drawers.

Robin guano to make Chirp-pendales,

Pigeon guano to make Dove-ans …

The alien looks like one of the characters in Monsters Inc.

I love these kinds of strips!

Pastis had it coming for a looooooong time.

after such a long journey he (it?) must be really pooped…

The aliens might want to check the guano for coronavirus. The bats they come from are a soup ingredient in China. Not even Swedish Chef attempted that entree.

We can only hope they probed Cartoon Boy before they zzzzapped him.

Was that gun set on “Stun” or “Kill” ? … Croc Power !

Perfect Anti-Alien Weapon: Bat Guano in spray liquid form!

Is that Mike Wazowski’s brother?

There you go, Pastis blown-up/bashed/hit by a bat in the last square does it all the time!!!! :D :D :D

A pun that took light years to travel to get to.

I didn’t see that one coming until the last minute. It’s a stretch, but I loved the alien “vaporizing” gun. LOL

Long ago in a galaxy far away….is where Stephan reached for this one.

LOVE IT! LOL

One of Toon Boy’s best.

Well, you gotta admit he has his **** together.

Come on, admit it… you LOVE these HORRIBLE pun strips….secretly, you KNOW that you do…

You probably need to be old enough to get it.

So Stephan is going to rise like a Phoenix from his own ashes?

Talk about advanced.

Ah, such foolish comments. Can’t you see this is true art and as an artist, once finished he wipes his hands of the whole thing?

Poor Pastis, he probably thought of "close encounters of the turf kind” in the shower then laughed out loud and spent 3 months thinking of the strip

I am always amazed how people can think of this stuff, Humor at it’s best

Even my cat groaned!!! Keep it up Pastis!

Senseless waste of human life.

[RIP Terry Jones]

Set your phasers on pun mr. Spock!

We keep that kind o’stuff on our ship’s poop deck!

In/on? Needs a little work, but I like it.

“Stohhp that…it’s getting silleh….”

What’s worse is how old do you have to be to get this comic?

I suspect Pastis does these just to annoy everybody. From now on, I’m skipping Sunday strips.

If he is looking for bird guano my car is covered in it.

“Beam me up. Scotty …PLEASE!!!

Bravo, ROFLMAO.

That alien’s looking for signs of intelligent life, so what’s he doing in this strip?!?

When it comes to ray-guns, I’ll stay with the Commissioner & his family!!

Stephan you just slay me !!!! I don’t know how you come up with these so consistently but despite Rats misgivings thank you for all of the chuckles over the years and keep going… Please.

Gads, I should have known. It’s impatient wife will be ticked he took so long, Andromeda is 2.5 million light-years on the odometer one-way.

Probably visiting from Uranus.

If I came upon that thing in my yard, I don’t think the first thing I’d say is “can I help you?” It would be more like, “ayeeeeeee!!!” followed by pant wetting.

Goodbye, Pastis. We hardly knew ya.

I remember the time when that specific word was also disallowed.

Looks like Pastis had drawn upon all his comic art powers to come up with an authentic looking alien. Too bad he failed so miserably.

Sooooo bad.

It’s Punday! And I love it!

I think they’re confusing a counter with a dresser or a chest of drawers. Nevertheless the alien was probably correct to use his ray gun.

I wonder how many papers will be “dropping” this strip.

Ask for an Eludium pu-38 space modulator in return.

I suppose we shouldn’t “pooh-pooh” these puns…!

So bad, yet so good. As others have said, I wonder how Pastis does it, week after week. Hats off, sir.

Good pun!

The little green guy isn’t wearing clothes. Why the need for a counter?

I really enjoyed this; best funny out of my Sunday comics. Does this make me a bad person? ( I would read a bunch of frames for a pun. I think Pastis may have broken something in me.)

Wondering if that ray gun is anything like the “modulator” the martian on Bugs Bunny had.

When Pastis takes that much time to set up a pun, I really wish Rat would leave something of him for the rest of us!

This has been my third (turd?) poop comic so far today. Is our humor finally starting to mature?

RUH! splat This deserves a Soupy Sales heaping cream pie in the face. BWAAHAA

Hurray for the Alien ray! It has done what so many of us have long wanted to do to that perpetrator of execrable puns, Cartoon-Boy! Now he’s just a steaming ashy memory! Yay!

Who will draw PBS tomorrow?!

Made me laugh.

A naked extra-terrestrial asks a naked pig for materials to make furniture for storing clothing.

Learned a valuable lesson about aliens today…

Stephan!!! Did you think about this or did it just pop into your little brain?

I seriously wonder if this got censored in any newspapers. Did anyone notice that happening in your local?
