Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 08, 2012
Transcript:
Goat: What's the matter with you, Pig? Pig: It's my neighbor, Juan. He's so rude to people, but I don't think he realizes it. Goat: Well, it can be painful for some people to see themselves as they truly are. Pig: So it aches Juan to know Juan? Goat: Surely, you can do better.

Artists are never appreciated by their creations, although it did really stink, Goat.

Of course I can, and don’t call me Shirley.
Sherlock Watson over 12 years ago
At least Goat isn’t insulting or assaulting Stephan; he’s just being constructively critical. Ironically, Goat is less of a butt-head than Rat.
Peabody-Martini over 12 years ago
If even Goat is is complaining you can do better.
hawgowar over 12 years ago
Rat would be beating Pastis over the head with a shovel right about now.
killacowinWA over 12 years ago
I think ones like this are how Pastis gets by on lazy days.

I liked it. I love puns.

Since when does Stephan do puns on a Tuesday?
tangcameo over 12 years ago
Apparently, Stephan’s never seen that Family Guy episode with the BC comic strip ‘joke’.

The Pun:1 Form of humor dating back to, and invented by Neanderthal Man.2 Form of humor utterly loathed and detested by Cro-Magnon man.[See related article: Causes of Extinction of Neanderthal Man.]

“…I didn’t know there was a regular day for Stephan’s pun strips.”.Usually it takes more than two panels to work up to a “good” pun. Therefore Sunday is pun day, most of the time.
Hillbillyman over 12 years ago
Shirley todays strip was done in jest. It was just punney. lol
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 12 years ago
rf_eq…. and plenty of puns for every Juan.Don’t fret, if you are a Juanny-come-lately…It aches but a moment to find a new Juan.(Hey, I didn’t say a good Juan.)
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 12 years ago
José you gotta use Juan of those, anyhow?
knight1192a over 12 years ago
Ok, Goat needs to go Rat on Pastis for that awful, awful pun.

With Oly Otter living up the street, it has to be Juan or the Otter.

You all are making my case for Pun Control.
Remember – it’s only a bad pun if you didn’t think of it first.
PICTO over 12 years ago
Juan more like this Stephan and even Rat will nominate you for a Reuben.
rawcats over 12 years ago

Please stop this. I’m not kidding.

You got a day job, Stephan? If you do keep it! If you don’t look for one! Peee-yew!
bmonk over 12 years ago
I heard that Juan recently got engaged to one Eve Ning. I guess that Juan enchanted Eve Ning. . . .
hariseldon59 over 12 years ago
I’m waiting for the day that we see Pig complaining about the puns. Then we’ll know that Steph has hit rock bottom.
palandil over 12 years ago
Stephan’s pun clearly got on his goat …
Varnes over 12 years ago

Anyone else really frustrated w/ the new format?… I want to cry!!!!!!!!!!
Arianne over 12 years ago
Hey Goat, you can do anything, but lay off of Stephan’s blue suede shoes‘Cause it’s a-Juan for the money…
Popeyesforearm over 12 years ago

Have you heard this Juan?:Jose can you see, by the dawn’s Shirley light …
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
Saw that Juan coming the instant the name appeared. Pastis is a funny man. Funny, funny, funky.
Snoopy_Fan over 12 years ago
“Pastis?”“No. I don’t think I’ll ever be past this…”
FENRISULFR over 12 years ago
Read that joke in an old issue of Boy’s Life. Tracked down the editor. Nailed him to his own door.Did ten years in Juvie. Worth every minute.I regret nothing.

JUAN-A-BET?
Shubes over 12 years ago
Bwaaahahahaha!!! Yet another reason why “Pearls” is my favorite! Pastis has such a warped sense of humor that is so lacking in comic strips today; the occasional pun just makes it even better!
JoanHelen over 12 years ago
It really is the comments that take this strip to the pinnacle of success! I make sure I read this strip late in my South African day so that I can read all the comments from around the world. Today, guys you have excelled yourselves!
imbaldeagle over 12 years ago
Maybe Pig should have Juan teach Stephan Taekwondo.
