Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 30, 2012

Take my team’s job, we scored a maximum of under 100 points this season.

Testy sort, isn’t he?

Saw it coming…

Now that’s an offensive coordinator.

That’s probably the most subtle pun Stephan has done this year!

What? The punchline wasn’t “the best defense is a good offence”?

Proginoskes, No, in this case, I think it’s “No defense is the best offense….” Pig had no defense, and that helped Bob’s offense a lot……..

Coach Bob is just doing his job: mustering the best offense he can. Of course, playing against Pig really makes his game look better….

Coach Bob should go for the decaf.

Coach Bob’s team should employ Rat – he’s the most offensive character in the strip!

That dumb Pig can’t complain that he wasn’t warned.

Arizona Cardinals coach?

must be a jacksonville jag coach…maybe next year, they get tebow.

The Bummaneers are not blacked out because they are playing away this week .

If we could still rate strips, I’d give this the lowest, and I love the wordplay strips. To me, the two words don’t sound the same at all and there’s no way any coach, from anywhere, no matter how rural, backward, or television-free, would confuse the two. … just my opinion.

Run Croc Bob on a naked reverse.

Brian Daboll

another pun? Offensive

Go 49ers!!

LOVE IT!

“Pearls” operates under an unusual legal code.Apparently, a person can – without fear of arrest, prosecution or even litigation – walk up to Pig and kick him, club him, or punch him in the face anytime.

That’s a 5 yard offense – punching out the pig-skin . . . ☻

You sure his name is Coach Bob? Looks more like Mike Tice..

Ouch. This implies that Coach Bob pronounces offense like someone unfamiliar with football. They call it AW-fence, Pastis, not uh-FENCE. Ah well, good effort.

New play- reverse fade (to the floor)

Cam Cameron, right?

Does anyone know where Pastis lives so I can knock some sense into him when it comes to really bad puns

I thought Pig was going to reveal that he thought Bob’s back yard was open plan, and his neighbor had frequent bonfires. So Bob took a lot of heat for the lack of a fence..

Offence taken…….

Well you can’t really blame coach Bob. He’s probably been a croc in previous lives and has anger issues based on being killed so many times. You’d probably take offense too.

@CorzakAs opposed to our legal code where someone can slit pig’s thoat and than cook and eat him.

i get it he is standing up for thier french roast and hes gonna put him on the team

@packratjohn:) I really shouldn’t lay the hate on a strip I like so much. After all, I didn’t actually hear what Pig said. …Maybe his subconscious did him in with a substitution. (I’m also weakening on the coach’s familiarity with certain words.) [grumble, grumble…]

Poor Pig… I think he get’s abused a bit too much :(

just weak pastis!

Thank you Steve for making it easy for me to change “Bob” to “Todd” for all of my Steeler friends!!!

Where does Pastis pick up all these profound puns?

No offense.

Haha
