Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 12, 2013

You got it Pig – for once.

Pastis is going to have to forfeit his trophies and medals.

Does he have a punscription for those?

Humor enhancing drugs? All I can think of is beer and laughing gas.

I just noticed that the background changes.

So, he’s a HED case?!. . ..

Steph, seriously dude, are you in the placebo control group?

You gotta ask for you money back man!

Okay, all kidding aside, I really do think of PBS as one of my favorite 5 comic strips.

@rat: OK, then quadruple the dose…..

I thought those drugs were to prevent irony deficiency.

Pastis tickles my funnybone – which is connected to my humerus. (But these HEDs can cause a lot of ’arm.)

My two favorite HED’s are PBR and SNPA

Funny. Guess HED is not in the market. Har har…

I’m sure cartoon boy is okay. He can quit taking them anytime. Right Steph?

i think he has been duped into buying oregano…..

When the ICOC (International Cartoonists Organizing Committee) learns of this admission, Cartoon-Pastis may be banned for life from all sanctioned cartoonist competition! No more medals, no more trophies, no more endorsements…. Only the Cartoonist Hall of Shame lies ahead….Rat! Pig! You’ve got to cover for Cartoon-Boy! Your own careers depend on it!

This is serious. Maybe Pastis will be suspended for 30 days.

Maybe that dumb Pig, isn’t so dumb after all.

Baseball, football, biking, and now comics. When will we learn?

I have to wonder what his PUNishment will be.

…I thought he only uses a punblocker, SPF 200 !? (SillyPunFactor)

so, a certain part of his body is the size of raisins?

HED=THC+OAKHEART

More like Humor Altering Drugs: HADs… As in you HAD it at one time but not anymore!

Yeah, I’ve got a question. How can I convince my local paper to drop PB4S and replace it with “Apartment 3-G”!!

I hope no one (especially Steph) took my previous comment seriously!

Send me some of them HED’s, Stephan. I’m all dry here.

Do HEDs affect the testicles?

What a disappointment. Pastis used to be a role model for me . . . drinking beer, smoking, talking to animals . . . now all his best cartoons will have an asterisk* by them . . .

I can relate.

I’m wondering if he doesn’t still eat paste? Whatever it is – the dose is correct.

Does this mean the Penguins and Polar bear were a Humor drug induced trip???I want some of that.

Now we are talking. right arm!

I saw Michael Flattley dance that once, but stayed on the floor, most of the time.

INTERVENTION!!!

I haven’t read Red and Rover. The rest of the list is among my top comics too, though I put Frazz higher than PBS. Add Lost Side of Surburbia (higher still) and it would make up my top 5.

Oh yes… Rat would love that.LOL xxx

Pastis should be put in the hall of fame, but with an asterisk next to his name.

The mark of a self-absorbed, third-rate cartoonist: to continually be drawing himself in his own strip.

Aaron Neathery’s strip been on P.E.D’s (Profanity Enhancing Drugs) and it’s been increased during the mutant milk trial!LOL.

I see that prolonged use of H.E.D drugs has severe side effects: paranoia as characters turn on their author, growing resistance to the humor enhancement, and bad puns.

Because of these, and other side effects, there is no other punishment for the abuser—although the effects of the puns may be terminal, especially when irate hearers take up arms against a sea of trials and end them.

I think you have to have a beer or two before reading Pearls, just to get on the same level of enhancement of your sense of humor. You may begin to see the humor not only of Pearls, but of the people around you, who begin to resemble Pearls characters more and more. Embrace your inner Rat.

Who gave you the drugs, Stephan? Who gave you HED?

He should have seen where that was heading…

Love this;It shows how pointless drugs are
