Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 22, 2022

He has to use a better quality cannabis.

That bird is frying high!

Poultry in motion.

“Savage Chickens” here has much better characters.

Where’s the bad pun? I was expecting a mildly displeasing bad pun

He’ll soon be pollo frito.

Maria Juana.

Did the pot lead to the pan?

Bite your tongue Rat!

That chicken must have a really flat body.

I gotta say it! Too come up with that idea, Steph you have an amazing mind! How do you do it.

That just MIGHT improve this strip…

I haven’t noticed any change in the behavior of people since AZ legalized it. But then, it is Arizona after all.

Out of the flying pan and into the fryer.

Elect me and I promise pot in every chicken!

Shades of FSM!

I would have to say that for once I agree with Rat.

As if he ever needed it Rat

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Then again, it’s Stephan.

Marijuana does not have the sort of mind-altering effects suggested here. Maybe LSD?

Looks like Shoons to me , you know Dali like .

Hope it “pans” out for you Stephan!

I think it is brilliant! Now let’s find a name for it!

Let’s be honest. Stephan doesn’t need narcotics to think up characters like that.

Totally unscientific poll; I’m always curious who has actually partaken in the use of marijuana . I haven’t but once it’s legal I’d like to see how it affects me.

Chicken drone delivery for dinner? Olé!

If that thing is cast iron, you don’t want to be under it when its power goes out.

Marijuana is legal in some states, but, unless I’m mistaken, there’s a federal law that outlaws it. If someone were ever sued for marijuana use, wouldn’t the judge have to go by the federal law, since it has precedence over state law?

The colonel’s worst nightmare.

Stuff’s way stronger than when I was partaking.

I’m thinking maybe they should make it compulsory.

You did this by flipping through the dictionary and pointing at random words, didn’t you, Stephan?

Cheer up, Rat. At least it’s not another pun.

So far, I’m very impressed by the chicken’s dialogue.

Ustedes no entienden la metáfora. Cruzó la frontera y ahora no se sabe si va a “saltar de la sartén al fuego”. Porqué una sartén voladora? Porque los pollos no vuelan! Qué fue primero, el huevo o la gallina? No sabemos porque lo primero fue un “poio qui habra espanol in un sarteno boladora” :D

Cannot improve on the Crocs!!!

whaaaaat? noooooooo

I chuckle when I read this… and then I worry about what bills have been passed w/o being read by legislators…

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/07/minnesota-legalized-edibles-after-a-republican-didnt-read-the-bill/

It would take something stronger than grass to cook up that hallucination.

What the cluck?

On a completely unrelated note (cough), before reading the text, I saw an invisible Davy Crockett with a chicken on his head.

Stephen pouleted another character outa his butt. I guess he should capon keepin’ on, HENceforth. . .

When they translate this to Spanish for the Spanish version of the strip, will they make it an English-speaking chicken that says “Hello”?

Pastis you’re no Doonesbury, keep to the puns pencil boy!

This joke just laid a fried egg!

So, you’ve been smoking and are hallucinating a flying frying pan with a chicken in it?

Pollo loco.

Hahaha

Hey Stephan! You are way off on this one, MJ is not hallucinogenic!!As in you do not see that sort of crap while smoking weed!You must have been watching the old 1930’s Reefer Madness!!Way to misdirect, confuse, and outright lie about the subject.5 Pinocchios buddy!

Ay… Este es muy loco!

…this could work.

Check out that chick with the sexy skillet toes

Da herb had nothing whatsoever to do with this.

Pastis came wacko straight from the factory. No psychoactives of any kind required. It’s a stock feature. ;-)

Stephan must be having a 60’s flashback.

wonder what the real story is

Been done, “Chicken-in-a-Biskit,”

I actually have to agree with Rat on that.

BRILLIANT.

What,no rice?

Looks like pretty paltry poultry.

People, people (you know who you are)! It’s not that the marijuana made Stephan hallucinate a Spanish-speaking chicken in a levitating frying pan. It just made him think that “Spanish-Speaking-Chicken-In-A-Levitating-Frying-Pan” was a great idea!

He’s reliving the Beanie Baby Bubble Burst agony he suffered years ago after going into GoComics and reading reshown Doonesbury strips from 1997!

Hilarious, great strip.

Stephan— I prescribe psilocybin for your mind expansion project…if you still have one

El pollo volantes

Hehehe Stephen. You understand how using marijuana messes up thinking, but messy thinking can be funny – hehehe

LOL!!!

I think this has been panned enough. ;]

Another rare time I agree with Rat.

Aw, Stephan was just following the suggestion of the Wise (Donkey) on the Hill.

Funny. Using the actual name of Stepan’s character prompts a bad word edit.

Whatever happens there will be a cast iron alibi. On another note What do you call it when someone from the USSR commits suicide with a chicken? Russian poullette.

Why did the chicken-in-a-levitating-frying-pan cross the road?

To say Hola to a talking pig and rat.

Now we know!

Every time I drive by the restaurant “Viva Chicken,” I think that it should be “Muerta Chicken” for the sake of accuracy. This is definitely a viva chicken.

I don’t think reefer alone can do that to your brain.

Only a couple of nights ago on one of the late night talk shows, one of the guests was one Jenny Slate, who’d just expanded, into a full-length film, a short film she’d made called Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. I believe it opens in theaters tonight. Truth may be stranger than fiction.

Los Pollos hermanos minus one…

For OH SO MANY reasons….

Magic Flying Frying Pan Ride

500th like, woo hoo!

Up in smoke….. that’s where my money goes. In my lungs, and sometimes up my nose. When trouble times begin to bother me: I take a toke, and all my cares….. go up in smoke.

A visual pun? Yes, if we consider the suggestion that the new character resembles Pastis.

Es pollo en paella que volar.

Nailed it, Rat! Cartoon-Boy is on the happy weed for sure. He does live in Califluffnia, so I guess it’s legal, but it sure isn’t making him any funnier….

Man, and all this time I thought he was smoking regular cigarettes…

¡Bienvenido, Señor Pollo!

This is altogether lame.

Aw, but it is so creative! -—- Yeah, no, it’s just crazy dumb, don’t do that.

Soo freaking true !!! LOL !

Hello, it says.

Hum, Stephan only now doing, eh, you know what.

Stephan, you should know better than to give weapons to any of your characters.
