Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 06, 2011
Transcript:
Rat: Did you make a garbanzo costume for today? Goat: I thought you said Garbanzo Day was Friday. Rat: It is. But the festivities begin with a big Mardi-Grasbanzo Parade on Thursday. Goat: Who's gonna dress up for that?! Rat: Now you've hurt his feelings. Goat: Oh, lord. Pig: You don't like my garbanzos?

So, it’s a party type of holiday. SweetLet’s all drink too much, get naked, and act stupid.At least until the cops shut the party down.

Whoa, Piggy — I do have to say it takes a lotta garbanzos to wear that in public!
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 13 years ago
Andrea — right.
Today would be jueves-grasbanzos,
A day to butter up fried chickpeas.

If Pig and Rat can find or stage a fun Mardi-Garbanzo Parade, I’ll be there with beans on and will personally throw bean-beads at ladies who cooperate by flashing their garbanzos….

Let me add to that: if it’s on Thursday, it needs to be called Jeudi Grasbanzo.

Goat had better be careful, or else he may face another malletization.

Month after month i read this strip and am ready to call out pastis when he does something cockamamie like have a bomb land on a jailhouse freeing a known felon, and still i don’t register because i am afraid my voice won’t be heard in the swelling masses. Now he comes up with all this Fabaceae about garbanzo beans and all i can come up with is :
“Somebody throw pig a chickpea necklace” Lame i know

Later today is the Grasbanzo Flash Mob; hundreds of people will gather together, strip down, and shake their garbanzos for the world to see.

Pig looks so sad in the fourth panel.

JDLSU and mjb – I made it “Jueves-Gras-banzos" back there because “Jeudi” is French and Garbanzos is Spanish.
I probably should have said “Jueves-Grasa-banzos” though. :)
And Finkd, I know…. I’m scared of the mallet, I am….
But I was trying for a lame pun about fatty foods, in honor of Mardi Gras……
and in my strange word-twisting mind (and maybe bmonk’s?), “fried chickpeas” could also be drunken girls….
while “fried garbanzos” is…just….. um….scary.
