Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 30, 2024

Nobody pays me when I make scents.

I’ve never been in the same room with Pig, so I don’t know if he makes scents or not.

Nacent decent into evanescence

This is JUST pure, unadulterated, non-scents!!!! Dan aka…ps bazinga!!!!

Most places I work, they don’t want employees with a scent.

that conversation stinks!

And to think, they start with whale barf.

Due to intestinal issues, I also make scents.

Seems to me Neighbor Bob would be grateful that his pig neighbor makes no scents.

If Bob pronounced the word correctly, Pig would not have been confused.

Seems rather scents-less to me.

I scents a difference of opinion.

The conversation isn’t worth 2 cents.

When you’ve run out of actual story ideas and still have to produce a strip every day…

Sounds like the governments’ approach to the Clean Air Act.

Charging the people mega-cents for nonsense for non-scents.

What a non-scentsicle conversation.

I hear that tRump is making scents in the courtroom.

Getting incensed

Pigs have a lot of scents, you do not want to be downwind.

I know somebody who actually works in the perfume industry and actually makes scents.

In March 2021 Warner Brothers removed Pepe Le Pew from their cartoon projects. Now they make no scents at all.

Rat should hit Stephen with a bat

This strip has a smell to it today!

This is not sensational.

Since their scents make no sense since it’s nonsense about non-scents, I’ll save 10 cents, and have no scents.

Now this a very scentsitive issue.

Macy’s, The Fragrance Destination

I’m here to testify that pigs make at least one scent.

Ever since Rat sent Pig to make sense of the neighbor’s scents, Pig resents the essence of the attempts to make scents sense.

Surprised it didn’t end with rat warming up his bat on Stephan’s noggin

I made cents on my first job. A looooooong time ago.

Ergo Neighbor Bob makes deodorant if he makes no scents.

I hope you’re not testing your scents on animals. That practice needs to be banned.

Homophones. What’re you gonna do?

I am sure that Pig makes all kinds of scents.

So in the word “scent,” is the “s” or the “c” silent?

This strip is nonsense. And I love it.

LOL

For every sale he gets a per-scent-age…

All you needed to know was in the first frame. The rest was obvious.

I dunno, Bob, a lot of people pay for nonsense if they think it’s worth screwing over someone else or feeling powerful…

Perhaps Bob works at the US Mint and makes cents that have scents. It could be the latest thing in copper currency.

O, this all leaves a scent, alright….

And I can give it no ascent

I wish some of the ladies in the office elevator used non-scents.

What type of scents does Neighbour Bob make?

Pastis makes no scents—sometimes.

Ya missed cents!

I think Neighbor Bob is in bad odor with Pig.

A pig that makes no scents? Utter nonsense.

The English language can be confusing.

Give the man a garlic with cabbage pizza and two beers.

Give him some beans! He’ll make a lot of sense.

It makes no sense to make scents for no cents

And he only makes cents.

Steph, you missed the opportunity to have Pig and Rat endure the ascent up the steep hill to see WAOTH, who would assent to administer his guidance to them before they began the descent back down, and if was early in the evening they would have done so by the crescent moon. That would have been pretty decent and would have fit in with recent appearances of WAOTH.

Good sense, innocence, cripplin’ mankind

Dead kings, many things I can’t define

Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind

Incense and peppermints, the color of time

Who cares what games we choose

Little to win, but nothing to lose

On a side note; a friend’s wife is a parfumeuse. She just came out with a new scent that smells like #2 pencil shavings.

For once, this is not Pig’s fault.

Hu’s on first.

Oh, contraire. Pig makes scents all the time. Just not ones you’d want to put in a candle.

He’s getting paid a few cents per few scents, nonsense, doesn’t make sense…

He is a chemist at Givaudan.

Is today some sort of comic strip holiday for homophones? Brewster Rockit- Space Guy had similar confusing dialog

Make cents? I thought the U.S. Treasury made cents even though it makes no sense to make cents because it costs more to make cents than they are worth. What nonsense! I hope they come to their centsesPenny Copperfield

Oh, I make all kinds of scents… but nobody is gonna pay me to make ‘em…

Nice play-on-words.

gotta love the English language!

Man, that’s some epic dialogue there.

Pig should just knock him scentless.

who’s on first?

Once had an AT&T 4th Level Manager insist each of we 2nd levels rate our subordinates to fit, ironically, the Bell Shaped Curve. Each of we 25 who populated the room objected infinitely, but lost based on the logic of salary.

Jasmine, lavendar and eucalyptus seem to be liked everywhere

Hehehe, pun done

Good one, Stephen. How long did it take you to come up with that one?

And you wonder why the world makes no sense.

Many cents for a scent

This convo is scents-less — LOLOL

I sense Pig has no scent sense.

The English language is ambiguous enough that puns just appear naturally.

The more people with no scents the better it will be for all of us.

Third base!

Common sense: what is lacking in today’s world

Sounds like pig is emulating democrats.

Ahhhh, English!

This comic strip has too many puns. For real.

this is nonsense

Bob works in the olfactory.

I sense today’s strip will make no cents!
