Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 26, 2024

Maybe he’s a pet owner who’d like it done doggie style.

Will doggies and cowgirls also be allowed in the mission? Even cowgirls who like to ride in the reverse position?

they need the double entendres inspector

Doesn’t it take two to do a double entendre inspection?

The censor only goes after the comments these days.

Aye see your ita.

Don’t worry, architect Al will add some pastoral touches to her mission airy positions.

I always wonder what Cartoons actually got censored and what they said beforehand. Does Pastis mention it in any of his books?

ROFL

Ain’t no way this strip runs in my paper.

This is why I like being an architect.

Architect Al? As in “Weird” Al Yankovic? (Yes, Weird Al does in fact have a degree in Architecture from California Polytechnics San Luis Obispo, before hitting it big as a parody artist.)

We’ve got a six-piece jazz band here in central Japan called the Kinki Sextet. (maybe)

Check out today’s Bloom County rerun.

“A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only plant vines.”

Did Weird Al Yankovic read this and shudder to think that this could have been his life?

Establishing mission is hard work. Just like erecting building.

I heard the Spanish Inquisition coming… but it was the censor

I love having a good laugh at 5:01AM.

“Innuendos Incorporated” today!

I’d write a response but GoComics’ would toss me!

Comic strip censor is catches you quite queeckly. He good deetective like Dick Tracy.

You can tries all the cuts you is wants, comic streep censor. But pen is mightier than sword.

We haven’t seen the comic strip censor lately.

This one will go down in the anals of history

Censorship can cause a lot of problems.

What? What did he say?

The CSC is back! Dang, Crocs and the CSC in the span of a week? You spoil us, Stephan.

WR Hearst actually purchased an ancient monastery in Spain, disassembled it and shipped it to the US. The Ancient Spanish Monastery can be visited in N Miami. No dirty puns associated with it, that I know of.

Spanish Mission Impossible.

My company decided they wanted to use Annie Oakley on the logo. The legal team got the rights to her image, but the art department had her facing away from the company name. Everything was fine after the whole art department worked all night on the reverse cowgirl.

I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

There’s a pun in German that also works in English.

Q: Why won’t you find ants in a church?A: Because they’re insects.

Where’s the Airy Fairy?

So funny

I would say I don’t get “it” but that would open a whole new line of comments…

So when the sects enter the building, are they in-sects?

Saw an ad in the Wall Street Journal way back in the 70s stating “Missionary Position Available” It really WAS for a missionary!!!

Stephan Pastis, take a day off!

Ah… the complexities of the English language.

Oddly enough, a common motif in all the mission’s rooms is pictures of canines, which makes it…

Stephan definitely keeps the GoatKomix Overlords & Arbitors of Good Taste on the (censored) toes!

Appropriately, there are now 69 comments on this strip.

It’s Adam & Eve’s fault that we have stripping and sects.

Nah he just did that XD

We hired Gaudi’s cousin Daugi to add some ornamentation. We like Daugi Style.

Ah, homophones. Gotta love ’em.

Looks like a Mormon “Mission Airy”

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

Remodeling the Mission San Kama Sutra.

Lots of sects in the Mission – Airy position

Mmmmmmmmmmmmwah! G’NIGHT EVERYBODY!

Retired from AT&T rather than taking a nationwide position and transfer from Wisconsin to San Antonio. I’d just as soon forget the Alamo.

If they get started on it, it will be “Mission in Action”-too difficult and it will be “Mission Impossible”.

Always delighted to see the Comic Censor

Is it really a restoration if you’re redesigning it so fundamentally?

That’s a very fine line Pastis your crossing over

laughing hard at this one (?)

The Los Angeles Times replaced today’s strip with a rerun from 2022. Someone was offended.

Ooof! Nice Dad joke Pastis!!

Hilarious!!

Lot of holes in this one!

Pushing the boundaries Stephan, pushing the boundaries.

Reminds me of the joke about the teenage girl who answered “Just a sec” whenever she was asked to do something. “Set the table.” “Just a sec.” “Do the dishes.” “just a sec.” and so forth. One time her mother heard “Just a sec” once too many. At the top of her lungs she screamed, with the windows so all the neighbors could hear, "No! No more “secs”. I am sick and tired of “secs”!"

Definitely today’s “Arlo Award” winner! :)

You’ve surpassed yourself, Stephan — ROFLMAO

Time to purge the language of homophones.

Okay – this one was funny.

That guy is no fun.

Or a US President – choose either one.

a two fer pun strip!

Mr. Pastis, I salute you. You give me big giggles more than most. (Thank you for Pig, too.)

How did Pig realize or assume that Architect Al’s boss was a woman?

Everybody expects the Comic Censor!
