Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 15, 2021

Be grateful you got such a cushy job, Censor.

Interesting that this strip ran immediately after VD (i.e., Valentine’s Day).

cheap laughs about ‘the clap’. I love ’em.

STD operating procedure.

That’s not the disease you should be worried about.

Is her name Zoster?

Gone is Rita after Rat got her peas.

Look! Up in the sky! Is that Uranus? Or are you sitting on it?

Sounds like an STD.

The old days when herpes was the big scare……

And taking those peas really burned him up but that’s a whole ’nuther story. And a catchy idea.

i wish rat would just leave us some peas…

Can’t Rat offer some appeasement?

I had to read this aloud twice before getting it. I thought it was building up to “Give peas a chance.”

What do you give the man who has everything? Ciprofloxacin.

Things got critical when he nabbed the Acyclovir ointment too.

ouuuuch… had to read that few times…. surprised the sensors didn’t block that one period.

Hard to “appease” the censor!

Herpes , another lousy virus!

I never knew this violent ratical was so peasfull.

Well. Somebody must have her peas.

This is exactly the sort of smutty shenanigans that got you banned from the New Hampshire Union Leader. Keep up the good work.

I work the closing shift with her sister, Ahrea. After accidentally locking her in overnight a few months ago, now I make sure she’s left the building by asking loudly “Are you gone, Ahrea?!”

Hair piece?

Rat doesn’t have a pod to pea in.

Oh, wait, that was “The Far Side” a few days ago.

For two panels I was trying to think of a pun involving “peace” (Visualize Whirled Peas) and Stephan fooled me.

The peas are gone, O’Rhea?

I used to see Phyllis until we broke up.

So, whose peas were they?

You can’t say that in a comic strip!

Ugh, peas.

Tacky. Low brow. Not funny.

LMAO!

Anyone making bad pea puns should be beaned.

He’s gonorrhealize his mistake soon.

I think Pastis has been in lockdown way to long.

Wasn’t sure where this was going, but I knew it wasn’t a good place.

Does Pastis have hair peez on head?

Oh, come on. Who would ever steal peas?

I’m sharp, quick and clever – except when it comes to thinking up puns. Pastis is great at it.

I know you’re doing this to ridicule censorship, Pastis; but c’mon man.

Quiet down, Rat. Can’t we have some peas AND quiet?

Oh boy, nobody beat me to this lame joke

This is one of those days we should just ignore Pastis.

Visualize whirled peas.

326 Likes for a Groaner.

And they just keep getting better and better :D

My peas, her peas, we all have her peas. Let the chicken pox be on you. And beware of your mother’s birth canal during yours.

Fine, but do you know where my pen is?

Too many Puritans follow this strip. Get a life, and let others have theirs, too.

The comic censor is just upset that Stephan told his secret.

This is so bloody awful I can’t stop laughing. Peas be with you.

Veterinarians are worried about a new virus affecting them. It’s called chirpies; it’s a canarial disease and it’s untweetable.

there is a remark about the clap somewhere

It is true that Cartoon-Boy sends a lot of business Comic Strip Censor Guy’s way. —Maybe more than any other strip does. I guess that’s why CSCG is on the PBS payroll….

O man…….

At the first panel I knew something was coming… LOLOL

There’s some pea in this comic… That will definitely piss off readers…

haha lol these comic strip censor helps him get away with so much

Do you want my hairpiece? (“Things Are Tough All Over”)
