Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 29, 2021

George Carlin’s estate called; they want royalties.

Pig would probably still eat that.

Sing along with Basil: “Someone left the cake out in the rain . . .”

You’re in WHAT cake?

Would that be: “Cake AND Death”? For shame, C of E.

Is that an actual thing

Urinal Cake goes well with Central Intelligence

I like PBS but it’s seldom LOL but this is funny.

Soft rock, butthead, plastic glasses, tight slacks, class hatred.

Something incongruous could be; Rat is very eloquent and Pig is very smart in its responses.

Civil war. Basically some short oxymorons.

“Good Morning”

Government expert?

That was pretty ugly, Stephan.

Congressional ethics, journalistic integrity.

…and the daddy of them all, military intelligence.

Political Correctness.

Logical Republican!

Monosyllabic!

“Urinal Cake” That reminds me – what do I want for dessert?

What do you want for dessert? Do you want ice cream with it?

‘Bad coffee’

Urinal cakes can also be used to keep a hockey bag smelling tolerable….but get a brand new cake and leave it in the wrapper. Don’t find a used one….not even slightly used!

Pig did you try icing on your cake(urinal) ;-)

What’s the matter, Rat? Pig’s right.

Don’t eat the big pink mints.

I just can’t help but aim for those. Can’t write your name in them though.

We get this today, and we still haven’t gotten the Guard Duck Insurrection?

Tit mouse?

Genuine plastic. Planned Accident.

Urinal cake….what conservatives eat when they’ve been defeated

Pie R Squared, who ever heard of a square pie?

“Rich and Famous” and “Cartoonist”

Been there.

I am wondering if someone is unfamiliar with the word oxymoron.

Jumbo shrimp; old news; civil war; and my all-time favorite: military intelligence.

Reminds me of the joke sign above the urinals when I was young and people smoked any place they wanted. “Please don’t throw cigarette butts in the urinals – it makes them soggy and hard to light.”

The Democratic Party isn’t.

NOTICE Can we all agree Stephan pastis has a twisted mind?

Now my wife is pissed at me for giving a incongruent statement.

Wow, you made me laugh

You mean “oxymorons”?

I’m with Pig; the name is confusing.

For a pig it would be “clean living”.

Another example of Pig’s ‘sweet’ innocence.

ROFL

Cow patties? (And I’m not talking about hamburger)

I hate to interrupt the political comments, but I have a question about the strip- what is a urinal cake? This is a term that I’ve never heard.

This has nothing to do with the cartoon, but yesterday I was playing with my friends and my neighbor said not to wear a mask outside. I know that the CDC said you don’t have to, but that’s if your vaccinated. I’m a kid, so I could possibly be vaccinated as of now and his argument didn’t make any sense.

Yellow Cake, Pig… ☺

Funny Pastis

And my breakfast.

Add Cow Pies to the list

“Social justice”

What does the Bureau of Land Management have to do with this?

So Pig eats suet cakes?

A real old one: airline food

For what it’s worth, “friendly fire” as a legal term is defined by Blackstone (1775 or so) denotes a fire burning where it is supposed to be, e.g. in a hearth. Such fires can cause injury and damage, but the point is that the legal consequences are different from arson or negligence. I can only speculate that the term came to the consciousness of some military type, who (imaginatively) repurposed it. The earliest attestation is from 1918 and is note QUITE in the same sense as the current one, which is first attested in 1944

Isn’t that AKA oxymoron?

Me: Sees the work cake. Mmmm cake…

Urinal cakes seem to be going out of fashion. Largely replaced with urinal mats, I think they are named.

never thought i’d pan cake

A total nothing…

Leave it to our endearing Pig to find a way to spoil everyone’s appetite by stating a simple truth….

Toe Jam

Head Cheese?

That’s called an oxymoron.

Happy Rat.

‘White chocolate’
