Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 26, 2018

That’s karma for you.

Bay Tow is out of business… Vin will have to do some Chopin around…

Would Schroeder be disgusted that this? (Was Vinnnie also shot by Rat?)

Perhaps if Rat would HANDEL LISTZ by CHOPIN him up, and not merely shoot and HAYDN the body, then LISTZ might stop coming BACH.

Rat needs silver bullets.

“And get rid of the lewd wig…”

And the hits keep coming!

Then Rat told Tchaikovsky the news.

I hope Rat aimed better this time.

Shoot him a third time, just in case.

It’s on the corner of 5th and symphony.

I KNEW Rat should have used his baseball bat on him.

What street gang does Rat belong to considering he is shooting folks over petty things ;-o

Roll over Bay Tow, Vin!

I’m sure Pastis was reading ‘9 Chickweed Lane’ and decided to come up with something worse than a composer whose music causes people to have sex.

Franz needs to go, Ligety split.

But he did not shoot the deputy.

(Sorry, I’m a day or two late with Marley’s ghost.)

Make it stop

Apparently Rat never saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit. You can’t kill a ’toon.

Pastis will NEVER Lerner! He’s hit a new Lowe!

Well, Bill and Bill. This strip has gone straight into the john, Williams!

You’ll know he’s dead for sure when starts decomposing.

Go full 1812 Overture, just to be sure.

Make it stop! Rat, shoot Pastis.

Let’s us blow dis joint. Wit’ a megaton stink bomb.

Cartoon Boy will be the next victim of Rat’s gun if he keeps bringing back Franz.

Yep, this guy has a thousand lives just like Kenny from “Southpark”

The fact that this Franz guy is shown much more than the crocs, and Zeebra neighbor is just not right

Take him out for a brewski, then down to the basketball court to see if he can hang on to the rimsky (korsakov).

Hans,and Franz are here to pump(clap,clap)you up ;)

Seriously Steph, could you put some of the effort you devote to this utterly lame character stream & other 1 week weaklings into a few croc strips? I love & miss Larry, family & henchmen!!!

A pun involving the name Vinnie. That’s my opening for this idea for a strip:

Pig becomes the ranger at a wildlife preserve, saying, “Now no deer will be hurt unless I say so.” Outside the fence are two dejected hunters. Inside is a buck named Vinnie and his two children, a boy and a girl. Goat asks the name of the deer he is pointing to. Pig says, “The daughter is over there, so that must be Vinnie’s son.” BLAM-BLAM!!

You shot the wrong man.

I hope you got him at close range this time.

I guess Santa didn’t leave Pastis that book: 1001 Jokes that don’t involve a Pun…

I shot Franz Pun Prof, but I did not shoot his pal Vinnie

Who doesn’t love a good pun? Now, a bad one ( many examples above), not so much.

Cartoon and comments fun to read!

The Three Stooges museum is having a show of Moz’art

Usually I laugh at Steph’s puns, but this time I had to ponder heavily, since Beethoven is rather pronounced Beht Hhhoh Fen in German….

why oh why ohio, why did I ever leave ohio – no pun, just fun

Forget it, Rat, he’ll just un-die again.

Stupid.

Guessing I am the only one who enjoys this. Sigh I’ll give myself a time out, not need to tell me.

Thank you, Stephan, for not smoking.

He’ll be Bach.

Does this mean that Franz is now decomposing?

DAMNIT RAT! THIS TIME DON’T MISS!

He’s BAAAAAAAACH

Let’s hope your aim was better this time, Rat! Bye bye Franz-baby!

And while you’re at it, Rat, maybe you should pop a cap on Cartoon-Boy….

Don’t you mean the car baroque down?

what does Schroeder think of that?

I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!
