Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 01, 2020

I don’t give a darn!

On a separate note, who sang “Pinball Wizard”?

That’s funny!

The perfect comedy skit.

Very current!

WHO is in Left Field which is causing discord with the politicians. Our politicians have tabled finding WHY until TOMORROW when they can hold committee hearings about WHAT anyone knows BECAUSE no one talks TODAY.

Both the original Abbot and Costello sketch and the Billy Crystal remake! https://youtu.be/kTcRRaXV-fg https://youtu.be/K0Jg7pvVzKk

Then there’s this Johnny Carson sketch.

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” “Oh, he’s our shortstop.”

Thought Why was the Left Fielder!

days like this are for lamenting the absence of a go-comics Like button, sniff.

The best comedy skit of all time!

You remind me of the man…

“I’ll break your arm if you say who’s on first!”

Who cares? WHO, that’s who!

And no “Pun” involved with this one ! … Croc Power !

Rat can sing part of the refrain to “My Name Is.”

Not that old gag.

Classic-never gets old.

Because it lies in order to keep in the good graces of China’s authoritarian regime.

Need a fifth panel with Rat on the desk after creaming Stephan with a bat saying: " Yer OUT!"

Why? Because they were mean to 45. Wah!

Joke’s been done elsewhere

The World Hurt Organization.

Okay, you got me with that one. Well done Stephan.

WHO…..who put the bam in bama bama bam ….

Funnier than what is actually going on with WHO.

Stef did it here years ago:https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2014/10/19?ct=v&cti=1396946

why would he want to help tiny, invisible people on a speck of dust sitting on a clover, protected by an elephant????

A loafer on third base?

THANKS Stephan!!!

saw a good one this morning. It mentioned that puppies don’t spread the virus and those in quarantine have been released. W.H.O. let the dogs out.

Can you guess who sang American Women?

This reminds me of Pastis’ 7th Timmy Failure book. He literally spends the entire book setting up an incredibly complex “who’s on first” routine. It was awesome.

let’s blame WHO for the cheeto playing golf and playing down the situation saying it was just a seasonal flu while other countries had thousands of deaths a day. But it was in USA they decided to screw up, despite arriving later; then of course the virus was made in China..

VOY!!!! Eh?

This is awesome! LOL

some material just writes itself! :-)

It was a clause in their radio show contract that Abbott & Costello had to perform the “Who’s on First?” routine at least once each season!

Harry Potter?

It’s still funny after all these years.

Well I was in right field all of the time and learned more about butterflies than the whole team

It seems W.H.O. is no longer on first.

Why is Pig the only animal character with a navel?

most excellent

Who played right field?

Bud’s a little horny today.

Abbott and Costello at the end, I love it!

A classic. For some reason, the folks who wrote my sixth grade gammar textbook put it in there without making it a part of the lesson plan (at least it wasn’t mentioned in my textbook to be part but it might have been mentioned as such in the teacher’s book). Liked to just flip to that page and read the routine, usually at the wrong time. And yet that was the year I remember first making the honor roll.

Do youh aveto be a certain age to get this? I still laugh every time I hear this routine.

People thought Milton Berle was a rampant joke thief. Congratulations, you’ve been promoted!

UNO.

A couple of years ago I was teaching an adult education class in Microsoft Word, and I was explaining the use of tables. One exercise used a baseball roster (names, numbers, positions) as an example of data you could put into a table. I decided to have some fun and used the names from “Who’s on First?” for the lesson. No one in the class knew what I was talking about. So near the end of the class, with about 15 minutes to go, I brought up the routine on Youtube and played it for them. They loved it!

Abbott and Costello did it better, Cartoon-Boy, though (I admit) not so concisely. Brevity may be the heart of wit….

Keep drawing water from the “Who’s on first” well, Stephan. I am totally fine with it.

HEEEYYYY AABBBOOOOTTTT!!!!

I’m thinking you might have to be a certain age, or a fan of old B&W movies, to get this. :-D

Softball line up: Hu’s on first, Watts is on second, and Ida Noe’s on third.

First strip with the sketched panel lines.

Just don’t get into the whole The Who vs The Guess Who routine.
