Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 26, 2013

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

Right upside the head, Rat. That’s where it will do the most good!

Snerk!!

Hey! Easy on the Wood jokes! I’ve got my Eye on you!

The wood has it easy. Imagine the pressure of writing a lame comic strip and then facing the mockery from this group.

Go get him, Rat! I’m with you on this one.

Bang – Check Time !

No pressure Stephan…. no pressure.

Perhaps Rat will put Toon Boy out of his misery.

Pastis Is about to get pressure treated by wood.

At least it wasn’t water boarding.

I live for the day Rat actually appreciates Pastis punnage.

Knot funny.

When is wood not wood? sawdust…and left town…snick

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!.

On a side note: Lumber Club Board Meeting today at 2pm.

Not a sliver of humor…..

“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

Pressure-treated knot-head?

I always picture the wood getting squeezed between to metal plates.

A 2X4 up side the head will cure what ails ya…

What doesn’t destroy the wood makes it stronger!

Love the ‘Rip on Stephan Pastis’ gag.

Makes a change from the cricket bat at least.

LOL xxx

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!”

brilliant!

This is why I love this comic

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?
