Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 24, 2013

I am shocked, shocked I am, at that kid’s language! Saying “poopy” on the comic page — the very idea!

Just a tad…

The drawback here is that he can’t take odds greater than five to one.

Kid also runs a craps table.

I think my bookie is full of poopy!

True stories: My son’s first word was sh*t and his first sentence was son b*tch, get out way, mommy wants to go! I can’t imagine where he learned those things.

Sounds like Stewy!

Now, you can call me bookie, or you can call me bookmaker, or you can call me store, or you can call me turf accountant… but you doesn’t hasta call me Johnson!

phil saluga! He was funny

Don’t forget the butt paste.

1)@SherlockWatson—I’m also shocked…I couldn’t be more shocked if I discovered gambling at Rick’s American Cafe! 2)Then there was the bookie I knew who was found with 5 bullet holes and 7 stab wounds. The coroner labelled it “natural causes”…in the bookie’s business it was!!

@Arianne—There was the turf accountant who was never busted by the cops…he had too much dirt on too many people!!

Poopy, vomit and pee for the trifecta.

Whatever happened to words like darn or dang or shoot? This language is going to hell in a handbasket.

That last line makes this.

Time for Johnson’s baby to take a powder.

What a racket! The bookie business is just a subsidiary of the family business, Johnson & Johnson.

After their thugs beat you up for not making good on a bet, they sell you the bandages to patch you up.

Look, if the E-Trade baby can think he’s an adult the Johnson’s kid can be a bookie.

You going to change that nappy, Rat?

LOL xxx

I once heard a toddler in a shopping cart make a “religious exclamation” in the exact tone of voice his father obviously used. His mom didn’t even cringe.

what kind of relationship is that when you have to change your bookie’s poopy diaper. Stephan needs serious help LOL>

Oh my lord…..

The strip has no pun, so what is your idea?
