Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 22, 2020

I think there’s an underarm hair floating in there.

funny… so do i

Stirring with a light saber is more hygenic than a Jedi armpit.

Ewww. Hate to think about Luke’s lower storage place.

I would have assumed that he would heat the coffee with the lightsaber.

It’s like the punchline to an old joke:

“That was ice cold! Why did you tell me it was lukewarm?”

“Well, eet luke warm to me.”

I’m wondering how he managed to switch hands before handing the coffee to Pig.

Wah, wah, wah…

And with his beer, Cool-hand Luke is waiting in the wings.

The farce is with him.

I’m sorry, I’m a literalist.

A real Jedi would leave the lightsaber off, and hanging from his or her belt, until it was time to use it.

lukewarm, as was the reception of this comic.

May the froth be with you!

Pastis, didn’t learn anything from Salman Rushdie’s experience. Now you’ll have the Star Wars crowd after you.

Some women (and perhaps some men) have argued that Luke is pretty hot, but I never got the thrust of that argument. Maybe he got some special sexy markings on Tatooine?

Corn

What, or rather whom, does Pig use for his cold coffee? Vanilla Ice? Ice-T?

This is actually cute! A welcome change from the grumpy “everyone’s a dumb jerk” theme that the strip has been doing lately!

Yo-dan’t say!

Where’s Cartoon-Boy when you need to disarm him?

Careful. These things belong to a very litigious Disney mouse now.

luke’s lukewarm about luke warming, however…

When it comes to coffee, I feel the pull of the dark side.

Rat didn’t confront Pastis on this one.

Will you take it with blue milk or green?

Very funny.

So where does he keep the Donuts ? … Croc Power !

Oh, Brother!!! New low Pastis!! Love it!

Star Bucks movies :

Star Bucks — A New Scoop.

Star Bucks — The Emperor Wants Black.

Star Bucks — Return of The Java.

Like the last few movies.

The humor seems a bit ‘force’-d.

Ohhhhhhh. I normally LOVE Pastis’s puns but this one was bad. Ohhh sooo bad.

If we get many Star Wars puns throughout the week, I’m gonna flip.

I thought he would have warmed it with his light saber.

“Aren’t you a little short to be a barista?”

Sadly, but only because this is Star Wars – AND coffee related, this may now be in top 5-10 of all time.

I’m putting some Bailey’s in the coffee I get in the way to work. My job is literally leading me to drink.

Kinda looks like he’s resting the “blade” against his shoulder in frame three as well.

At least Luke only needed one hand.

Ewe!

There’s a missing panel at the end — Rat bashing Stephan. . .

Okay, Stephan, this was a reach even for you.

Looks like it’s in a Han Solo cup…

No “like” today. I don’t think that is even a pun.

Thanks, Steph! I love to start my Mondays off with a strong, hot cup of coffee and a Lukewarm pun!

A bad pun and a ‘Star Wars’ reference. Thank you, Pastis.

Weak too – - missed his – Luke, I am your father’s day

“Forced” hot air. The new kitchen aid!

The worse puns are the best puns. A real groaner.

Armpit kawfee? Pass.

For some reason, I was expecting to hear Rat say to Pastis, “I find your lack of perception… disturbing”.

Q. What is the interior temperature of a Tauntaun?

A. Luke warm

May the caffeine be with you.

At least he didn’t put in a dead tauntaun.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have been stuck inside WAY TO LONG!…….lol

I. Love. Puns. ’nuff said.

I find your lack of froth disturbing.

As a huge fan of both Star Wars and bad puns, I love today’s strip!

May the froth be with you.

ahhhhhhhhhh pastis

May the farce be with you

Oh the humanity. You will surely die a slow and agonizing death for all the gut-wrenching groans that you have ripped from the very souls of your readers this day.

Normally this is the kind of comic that would end with them threatening Pastis.

The force, of course.

Stephan. You did not write that.

That’s not even luke-funny.

Mad Jedi skills

Finnaly, one thats not about coronavirus

Mr Pastis sir, at times I consider you a criminal for your wanton cruelty to the English language.

I love you too much to stay angry though.

Pun! Hahaha
