Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 17, 2013

I wonder why they didn’t say something….

Take advantage of the situation, Morty; take all the other females for a “test drive.”

I thought Saul became a widower because of the polar bear.

Alternate version of panel 1:Morty: Bad news Saul, I lost my wife.“Saul”: Uh, Morty, I am your wife.

Flirt with any penguin. If it happens to be your wife, all is fine. If it’s not, you’ll find out quickly who it is.

Well, yeah. Because of that “they all look alike” thing, there’s no concept in penguin language for “trading up”.

This might be a good thing, she will yell at the wrong guy, and when she is done, you found her.

Saul, that would be way too logical, besides spoiling the potentially Good Thing that other commentators have already noted. Make lemonade, Morty!

Morty has a severe sinus problem.

Hint to Morty…..

Sorry…. but I don’t see her running around looking for you.

It was funnier when “F Minus” used the same joke a few months ago. Bring back the croks!

Mr.Pastis. May you live to a 100.

you say, I’m a penquin?

Pardon me, but was this strip a tribute to Mort Sahl?

Seriously – how could they tell?

I wonder if the “Rabbits Against Magic” creator has been following this comic. He is even on the same theme about indistinguishable penguins.

Ravens can tell each other apart from 1 mile away!

Far Side cartoon from years back, and probably many others. It’s hard to think of new jokes.

, , , or bow ties. You could wear color-coded bow ties.

Oh dear. This is bad!xxx

Ask her if she wants to come up and see your etchings.

Variety is the spite of life.

or they could sniff each others butts like a dog, mmmmm dog-sniff? Sounds like someone I know?

CROCS, CROCS, CROCS. Get the message?

“Literally”? has no purpose here, no figure of speech to be clarified as literal.

“…and, by the way, Morty, I’m not Saul; I’m Tim.”“Oh, sorry, Tim. You know maybe this comic would be funnier if it were about crocs and zeebras instead.”

Morty? Saul? What do we have here, a clan of Jewish penguins?
