Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 08, 2012

I was anticipating the pun by the second comment. Now, as for that second to last panel, Pig seems a little bit too into this hobby. He needs a new diversion.

Just two puns in a punchline is unworthy of Pastis.

There would be, if they ever made a Pez for the author of Liberty Meadows (on these pages).

now there is a pez with true pezzness

and please no comments on pheasants and peasants

I have to admit, I didn’t see that one coming at all. Well played, Stephan!

So Rat has finally done it… I didn’t think he would.

Rat, don’t you know that you will now no longer exist?!?!

Now that’s one big pez dispenser.

By the way, I noticed that Pig makes a cameo appearance in today’s Slylock Fox comic strip, along with Snoopy and Popeye.

Pez means “fish” in Spanish. It’s also a common surname in some parts of Spain, where the Pez dispenser was invented. (I didn’t learn that till I moved here). Somehow “fish candy” just doesn’t sound so inviting.

If one were to pull PEZ-Stephan’s head back would more puns come out?Also, I collect PEZ, too. I just go for the ones I like. Valuable collectibles just like money, ya can’t take it with ya!Unless, mmmm,… is there PEZ in Heaven? or the next dimension, even?mmmm,… PEZ-Rat, pull his head back and PEZ would come out, only with bad words printed on them.

Today’s topical subtext /religious allegory - Jesus was a Pezman. . ..

Stephan!Oh well… he was Pastis prime anyway.

For once I realized the pun almost at once. That doesn’t happen often for me.

At least Pig in the last panel is properly mortified at Rat’s decapitation of cartoon-Pastis to make his Ultimate Pez Dispenser!The Pastis Sunday pun was okay, but it cries for musical accompaniment! —Preferably, à la Jolson!

So Rat kills Stephan for the thousandth time.

Well and truly accomplished, Rat.

Should have used Kimball Cho from The Mentalist; much more current than Margaret.

Gluteus, both beat being a pissant….

I am the Pezman, They are the Pez men..He is the Pastis, Goo goo g’joob, Goo goo g’joob…

And then Rat sent him off to the cornfield.(Name that reference!)

Oh well, he’ll be back by Tuesday.

I hope someone has called the pun police and sent them to place Rat in handcuffs and Stephen in a strait jacket…

I should have seen that coming… 9_9

Today’s strip has me all CHOked up!

“Hey, would you please Pastis Pez dispenser to the guy next to you?” (Apologies in advance for the weak pun. I’m out of practice.)

I’m not a Pezant plucker, I’m a Pezant plucker’s son.Reminds me of Lord of the Flies.

Now he can dispense bad puns!

(faint moaning heard from the floor)

Ewwwwwwww!

Umm…. Well done, Rat.

LOL xxx

[Face-palm] I shoulda seen this one coming!

It made me groan, but it’s clever, too.

Today’s didn’t even get a groan. Just a rolling of the eyes. Even the last panel didn’t hold any humor. It was easy to spot the set up, and when it came it just fell flat. I guess for the new people it was ok, but some of the older ones I still laugh at!

I was thinking of a pirates head on a Pez dispenser, Pirates of Peznance.

This is a great strip. That is all.

Please stop. Seriously, please stop.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I love Stephan’s puns!!! :-)

Hahahahahahaha….

He put Steph on a pezestal.

Hey, it ain’t no dunk rye for me arch and tina, but it’ll do. LOL

In this case I agree with Rat. Some of the puns are great, some are bad. Really, really bad. This one isn’t bad, it’s horrible.

I very rarely agree with Rat’s actions… today, though…

Stephan made a pezst of himself this time

Made the milk come out my nose.

Love pigs expression in 7th panel

I don’t get it

This pastis has blonde hair, it ain’t Stephan

Yum

I don’t get it
