Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 16, 2023

Sorry, Rat, it’s a lifetime contract.

Rat you can put locks on the comic and read garfield lines but you can NEVER escape

As opposed to ’Hare Air", founded by Bugs Bunny.

You might as well stuff it in your hairy-air.

Technically, that wasn’t a pun.

They want to know where toupee (to-pay)

Okay, I have to admit, Rat is making a fair request there at the end but where will he go? Far side? South Park?

Why leave Rat? That one was pretty good

Proof that cartoonists do drugs.

I’m with you this time, Rat!

The Hair-Air heirs advertise over the air so there!

Just when you think this comic can’t get any worse, this happens… :D

And if the company only shipped blonde wigs, the shipping charges could be considered the Fair Hair Air Fares.

Do you REALLY want transferred over to “Mary Worth?!” Think, Rat, THINK!!

You’d have to play second fiddle to Wilbur. Now, STOP! Just….stop …

Never underestimate Pastis. We’ve hit a new low! Pastis, gets a shovel.

Rat obviously doesn’t want a “Hair Air” wig either. He wouldn’t wear it.

Following that comic gets really hairy.

No, no, no,no ,no

The Count agrees. Rat’s righteous rant rings really right.

Hey Rat, I “Hair” yah.

Homophones and rhyme schemes can be so confusing.

Aaaaaaacckkk!

Tired of bad pun comics

Aw bleep me, I read the whole thing………………………….shame on me.

That’s who (not where) to send a check to: to their Hair Air heirs.

Where are the Hair Air heirs?

For once, I’m with you, Rat.

Goat drinks a lot of tea.

Where’s the beer when you need it?

Is the beneficiary Prince Hairy?

The founders of a company Goat has never heard of are personally asking him for a check? That’s a big fat no.

Who drinks tea with a tea bag still in the cup?!?!

Do they still make Nair?

Okay, you can leave.

Gentlement! This reminds me of the hairarium in ATHF

I’ll send a pair to their fair lair.

(OK, that last one was a bit of a stretch)

And a toupee’ came by E-Bay

ABOMINABLE man!!! . . . that’s why I feel like he is one of my very best friends.

Hey, an ‘h’ is silent.

Like: Anchor, Archeology, Architect / architecture, Archive, Borough, Chaos, Character / characteristic, Charisma, Chemical / chemistry / chemist, Choreograph, Chorus, Christmas / Christian, Echo, Heir, Herbs, Hour, Honest / honor, Ghost, Psychology, Rhino, Schedule, Scheme, School, Tech / technology / techie, Thai / Thailand, Thigh, Thorough, Vehicle, Weigh, What / when / where / why / which, White, While…

Word Play at its best…

They made a mistake. After all, the Hair Air Heirs err.

You could see that one coming from the first panel.

I really hope to hug Stephen Pastis someday. I love his humor!

Does the Hair- Air Company land their planes at the Hair-port or the Heir-port?

The man who sold the milk to all of London town

Amassed a fortune by his toil and care;

And when he left this sad world for a better place,

He left it to his London dairy heir.

I’d Like to nominate Stephen Pastis for Benevolent Overlord ✨

The comments turned into a Dr. Seuss book.

At least he isn’t whining about social media.

Then there’s the ‘rair bair’, right Strega???

Reminds me of "Who’s On First ". There’s never been a better comedy team.

This actually reminds me of an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, where Johnny Fever tells Venus Flytrap that station manager Arthur had once tried to promote the station by giving away blonde wigs. When they couldn’t give them away, Carlson had the wigs shipped to Guatemala as aid to earthquake victims there.

The heir’s charity is to support hares obtain the wares to wear.

S/B “are where.” Shame.

Why do they keep reading the scripts?

The other characters are signing a petition backing Rat’s request to be let out.

Try saying that very fast … So funny

It’s funny homonyms

Sing along with Basil: “Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair . . .”

“Blazing Saddles”, when Harvey Korman hails a cab and mutters, “Drive me off this picture!”

LOL!

I can see where Rat’s coming from. (There, of course; but no hair heirs.)

“You Said A Mouse Full” (Pinky and The Brain). Enough said.

Where does he think this up?

this is funny

That’s not “there”; it’s “them”.

“Let me outta this comic!” LOL.
