Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 26, 2013
Transcript:
Pig: Hey there, Rat... want to help me build this new deck? I'm using pressure-treated wood. Rat: What's pressure-treated wood? Man 1: You'll never get a job. Woman: You can't pay your bills. Man 2: Your wife's had it with you. Rat: Pardon me while I save the comics page.

What wife would want to leave someone who always has wood?

Hey! Easy on the Wood jokes! I’ve got my Eye on you!
Bilan almost 11 years ago
The wood has it easy. Imagine the pressure of writing a lame comic strip and then facing the mockery from this group.

Rat’s arms seem unnaturally long in the third panel

Should have made him walk the plank.

That which doesn’t turn you to sawdust only makes you stronger. Of course, take sawdust, and some glue, heat and (more) pressure – voila! plywood!.

“Why can’t we give love one more chance. Why can’t we get along, get along, get along?”

Forget the head, Rat, go for spine and hit him in the lumber region

I always picture the wood getting squeezed between to metal plates.
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member almost 11 years ago
A 2X4 up side the head will cure what ails ya…

What doesn’t destroy the wood makes it stronger!
Number Three almost 11 years ago
Love the ‘Rip on Stephan Pastis’ gag.
Makes a change from the cricket bat at least.
LOL xxx
WoodEye almost 11 years ago
Fine example of the comments being WAYYYYYY funnier than the strip! Keep up the fine work group! As you were….

Go easy on Cartoon-Boy, lads. He just sees the world from a different place, and we know it’s not nice to make fun of people just because they are different. Take any complaints to the Board of Cartoon Standards (though he’ll probably get off with just a rap on the knuckles)….

He asked if i’d like to see more silly puns, and I replied “Wood Eye!”
nancyroy almost 11 years ago

I pine for the days before Stephan learn of puns. He just makes an ash of himself.

What kind of pressure is that? Shouldn’t they be offering the wood drugs and cigarettes?
