Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 21, 2023

You can read twice as much on double-sided tape.

I like tape on books; it keeps them from falling apart.

books on tape? where do you even get a tape player anyway? CD’s are even going the way of the Dodo

Uh-oh. We’re not going to get into a religious war on duct tapes, are we?

Don’t we all love a lame pun.

Maybe he’ll find the Book of Adhesions in the Bible.

Silence is golden, duct tape is silver.

Otherwise known as the tale of the tape

Guards! Kill him!

Don’t forget measuring.

Right to your ribs!!

Speed tape is nice.

Now we need Rat to hit Steph over the head with a bottle of Scotch. Tape.

I’m so glad I’ve had only one cup of coffee so far. I’m just drowsy enough to survive the puns.

Sometimes your puns hurt, Pastis!

Maybe Goat was referring to Pigs weight

No more puns!

What about Li’l Guard Duck tape?

Does Pig have a tape player? I haven’t used one of those in years.

You can’t fix stupid, but duct tape can help muffle the sound.

My company makes double-sided tape!

What about hockey tape Pastis!

Not to mention they’re “tacky”

This is why I’m stuck on this comic.

The hero could get in a sticky situation.

ARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH

Mr. Pastis is really showing his age here. No one has called them “books on tape” for over twenty years.

Two sided Alien Tape is my favorite read!

I hate sticky!

Does anyone else still have the “llama diorama” stuck in their craw?

Duct tape is the binding force of the universe.

Books on tape? What ever will they think of next? Wireless telephones, perhaps. . . .

Nope, the non sticky side was up and it didn’t stick with me

Wow usually rat is the critic

Tape ? You sound like a broken record…and just as timely.

“Books on tape” are audio books. You don’t read them. You listen to them.

All the above comments and nobody mentioned ‘red’ tape…

You’d be AMAZINGLY surprised how “useful” duct tape can be when your electric wheelchair’s wires NEED to be “covered up” or the chair won’t move and s*** like that, eh? Dan aka the worst motherf***er on the planet, and that INCLUDES Hitler, but not his COOL nephew or his children, who, as children, decided to remain celibate, so as to KILL the Hitler name!!!!

Duck tape isn’t all it’s quacked up to be…

that gorilla should come in and pop him

Scotch is what he drinks to write these jokes.

On Reddit we’d call this “Here. Take my angry upvote.” :D

You forgot VHS and cassette, they tell volumes…

I think I have a book on tape. It discusses the biasing parameters of Maxell vs. 3M.

(Let’s see who flashes on that one)

Actual duct tape is too expensive, I prefer duck myself.

One of my boss’ boss pals said that once he listened to a Relaxation tape while driving. But he realized in time it was a bad idea and reverted back to Penthouse on tape.

I love to listen to audiobooks, but can’t get far as my phone wants to keep me conditioned to the ADD I have developed. ?? What did I say?

I don’t think anyone mentioned bias tape. Doesn’t anyone sew anymore?

Hehehe, how punnish you are

As Teddy Roosevelt said ‘it depends on how big the stick is’..

snaps fingers while holding a roll “It’s a good tape. The chorus sticks to you…”

Duck Tape is the product name. the metalicized gooey tape hvac&r techs use is way to pricey for Joe diy, and using Duck Tape, well, it falls off after a few months.

It’s sad that you don’t get to read typewriter ribbons any more.

Stephan had to really stretch out for that one. The follow-up joke was probably funnier than the first one.

G R O A N — LOLOL

He’s gotta be the “Pun-master”. Groan, groan.

It really is duck tape, that’s not just a punny brandname.

Back in the 70s, I was into Disco Duck tape. More recently, I was so into tape that it was taking over my life, but now I’m tapering off. Excuse me, it’s time to feed my pet tapir.

Tape his mouth shut! Tape his hands behind his back! Tape him down entirely! Cartoon-Boy must not be allowed to make this mistape again!

Nowadays it’s books on CD or books on digital downloads.

He’s on a roll.

I’m drawn to this comic…so much that I taped it.
