Rat: Hey, Pig. What are you doing? Pig: Oh, hello, Rat... I'd like you to meet my friends, Laurel and Laurel. Rat: What are you doing on their heads? Pig: I'm resting on my laurels. Rat: Surely you have something better to do with your time.

Come again? What does “rest on your laurels” mean? (Side note: I’ve a cousin named Laurel.)

Actually, Rat, his name’s Stephen, not Shirley.

A wreath of laurel was placed on the head of the winner in a war or athletic contest in ancient times. Resting on your laurels means you haven’t been trying to accomplish anything new lately.

That really was a lame one, and I like his pun strips the best.

L & L are two of the ugliest … er.. young ladies I’ve ever seen!
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
They both seem to have “bed head” today.

I’ve seen people with mats in their hair… but seldom mattresses.

Hardy har har….

Good one. This being a family strip, of course he’s resting on them in the most non-suggestive position possible. Kind of made me think of Newhart too, for some reason. Hi, I’m Larry, this is my sister Laurel and this is my other sister Laurel.

Hi. I’m Larry, and this is my brother Darryl.

My Father-in-Law is feeding Pastis the puns…

Oh, goody. Shameless self-promotion on someone else’s strip-time. Coooool, dude.

Resting on one’s laurels…….“To rely on one’s past achievements instead of working to maintain or advance one’s status or reputation.”

Wonder if Pastis willl have his Laurel’s with him tomorrow in Austin . . . he could autograph his book on his LURELS . . . ☻
HankTheSock over 11 years ago
NO HE DOESN’T RAT! STEPHAN IS ALREADY DOING WHAT HE WAS MEANT TO DO! Sorry for the caps, I just get excited…
Pebin8walker over 11 years ago
If laurels represent past accomplishments then both of these ladies represent women he has vanquished in pig like fashion.

Stephan Pastis sure features himself on his strip a lot doesn’t he?By comparison, how many times has Charles Schulz appeared in Peanuts?
Five boys over 11 years ago
My first laugh out loud of the day!
dodgeboy over 11 years ago
Stephan must have stayed up late watching the Oscars …… ran out of time for ideas.
KEA over 11 years ago
They should be introduced to Darryl and my other brother Darryl

You need to retire!

I luv his puns and when his characters confont him about them! Keep it up, Pastis!
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
Shockingly, Rat speaks for many of us! The puns of fun are here really reaching. Pig has lady-friends named Laurel and Laurel, just for today? Will we ever see them again? Or will this play out like the tale of Apollo and Daphne?
slypuma over 11 years ago
If I could laugh at myself like Pastis…my life would be better.
Number Three over 11 years ago
Hahahahaha! For once in my entire life… I agree with Rat.

I don’t see why rat get’s so upset, I love these!

So, each Laurel knows that Pig “rested on” the other one, and neither one “crowned” him for it?:Some Pig!
Sherlock Watson over 11 years ago
I still think SP should make an all-pun calendar, featuring some of his greatest hits: “Dunk rye for me,” “Baloos-Wade shoes,” et cetera. The grand finale could be the 2010-11-21 strip.
CaptBivy over 11 years ago
Best return!
Rickapolis over 11 years ago
I got a hardy laugh out of that.

Laurel + Laurel must be from Pennsylvania, because I can see the Laurel Mountains.

Pig sure has a lot of friends…

And this is why the strip is so punny, er, I mean funny.
