Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 14, 2014
Transcript:
Goat: Have you seen all the contractors dumping their debris in that empty lot downtown? I found an old ladder lying there today. Pig: What are you gonna do? Goat: I wrote two letters to the city council. One about the trash I found there last week, and one about what I found there today... Bring it to me and I'll read it to you. Pig: Which one should I bring you? Goat: The latter ladder litter letter. Pig: Make it stop.

I agree with Pig. Make it stop, Pastis… or Rat will have to pulverize you.

At least Pig is polite about it! Rat would be using rather stronger language, and weapons…

Whenever Pig, the principle pun culprit of the strip, says that things are getting to puny you know i’s time for Pastis to lay of the puns for a bit.

At least he didn’t put it in the Larder.

That’s not a pun, that’s a-litter-ration.

Wordplay is the most sincere form of frittery.

Goat must feel so cheap, having sold himself to Cartoon-Boy as a co-conspirator in this language assault! You tell Pastis, Pig! Today you speak for most if not all of us!

SkyFisher over 10 years ago
Well, if no one complains about it, then the pun wasn’t lousy enough.(Except Dave4B is correct; it’s alliteration not a pun.)

I don’t know what everybody is complaining about. These are some of Pastis’ best strips!

You can always see it coming: “There’s the windup… and he-e-eres the pitch!”

At least there’s nothing valuable there or it would attract looters.

Reminds me of that very old joke about the martian of short stature that comes to earth and the first thing he sees is a very tall beautiful woman. His response is “take me to your ladder I can see your leader later”.

Finally a pun again! Was afraid Mr P had gone back on his medication.

Smelled it in the first panel, saw it coming in the second, but like an impending train wreck, I couldn’t turn away, GGRROOAANN!!! ( a groan a day keeps, well you know )
crazydave65 over 10 years ago
reminds me of the old joke from a loooong time ago: the alien spacecraft lands and a tiny little man gets out and bumps into raquel welch. looking up, he immediately says: take me to your ladder, i’ll see your leader later.
well, it seemed funny at the time . . ..

Why should Pig know where Goat’s letters are?
jud03005 over 10 years ago
While we knew a pun was coming, at least we didn’t what it was – this time!
