Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 19, 2023

How much further can Stephan fall?

At least he didn’t fall off the wagon; the way those things roll, you can really get hurt.

If only the gator in Jane’s World had gotten Pastis….

that Grace is amazing!

“you don’t want to have too much grace” -Elaine Benes

He should have tried to slide down her back to avoid a hard fall. Then he would have only been backsliding.

Be more graceful and use ladder.

Lacking Grace.

Pig is hurt. Why is Grace just standing there? Graceless.

Once Pig jump onto Grace, he remembered he wasn’t a weeble, for weebles wobble but they don’t fall down.

That’s a DisGrace (as in dismount)!!

We will only be subjected to Grace jokes until next February.

Fall from grace? Now Pig, you need to learns from Rat. He always a-Grace-ive.

and fatal!

Good one.

Very clever, Pastis! Like!

“May a toothless yak gum your grandmother’s Wheat Thins.”

Say good night, Gracie.

if pastis is in the final panel, it’s Punday.

Yes. But by all means, avoid Scott Adams Syndrome!!

If her full name was Grace Slick, he would of landed on her Surrealistic Pillow

Today’s PBS background music …. Amazing Grace ;-)

Hoe many Pigs does it take to change a light… oh, nevermind.

Well, that took my mind off this heat for a few seconds. That and eating a whole chocolate candy bar yesterday.

If Grace Slick had married Mark Grace, she would have been Grace Grace.

To quote that great philosopher, Homer Simpson, “DOH!!”

Oh, I think that must have happened a looooong time ago. ;)

Amazing, Grace.

Does anyone else think that the final panel in these is Stephan’s tribute to Carnac the Magnificent (Rat) and Ed McMahon (Stephan)?

He fell from Grace, but not gracefully.

When they threw me out of the seminary, they said it was because I wasn’t Communicating with Grace.

I told them that wasn’t true. I’d been dating her for three months!

Grace seems to have no mouth. So… um… …. ……

Why didn’t he just use a ladder or stepping stool?

Yep, picking the low hanging fruit.

So much for Grace Under Pressure (apologies to Rush).

That had to hurt, Pig

A verbal scolding is not much of a deterrent. Give Rat the bat back!

Poor Pig said it.

This might have involved hairesy.

I think about at almost every meal, so I say her name = I say Grace before I eat.

By the looks of it, he fell pretty hard.

You should’ve caught him, Grace!

Coincidence, I ate lunch with Grace. Our boss would come in and say, “Let us say grace.” N’Yuk N’Yuk N’Yuk

And now I have the U2 song “Grace” stuck in my head.

And Grace just stands there, not even offering a hand to Pig lol

God, I love a painful pun! (Here’s one I inflicted on my kid recently: “What did the young rabbit want from his grandparent? In-HARE-itance!”) (I’ll see myself out.)

If Pig had given her a lift instead, it would have been a-raising Grace. (that;s the best I can do)

At least it wasn’t from his friend Cliff.

Grace bears a striking resemblance to Sarah.

It’s the squealing pig that gets the Grace.

I love it when Stephen Interacts with his characters.

Say Goodnight Gracie

Stood on her head? Her shoulders maybe, but that’s just weird. Serves him right.

G R O A N — LOLOL

Good one. I didn’t see the punch line coming in panel three.

This was a bad one .

Arrgh! For that Bad Pun, Cartoon-Boy, you too have fallen from Grace and will be destined to eternity in the place warmer than the SW states these days….

Q: How many does it take to change a light bulb? A: Six. One pig to hold the bulb and 5 priests to keep him from falling from Grace.
