Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 10, 2014

That punned tongue twister sounds as terrible as the tsar Ivan.

Glad you said that slowly, Goat…this strip almost took an X-rated turn there.

Better call in Mr. Knox and the Fox in Socks, sir!

Tailbone him to the face!

Cold cocked cartoonist….

If it was Northern Russia, would it be Cold Cossack’s Coccyx cold cocked six?

Cossacks could be pretty brutal… You had better shape up and REPENT YOUR DASTARDLY WAYS, Cartoon-Boy! Or you might get tossed out into the cold on your coccyx, where there will be wailing (Rat, the Cossack, and perhaps some commenters here will wail the puns out of your buns)!

is this why he got kicked out of the house?

but rat. you ruining it, it would become this cossack’s coccyx clocked seven

it must be hell to be in Stephan’s brain…..

This is what Pastis does best.

I’m surprised they don’t own a flatscreen

Mr Pastis pass some of your drink and smoke this way:-)

How many man-hours were spent coming up with that?

I just love sick brains, and the people who have them.

Pastis is a genius. How does he come up with these lines?

I need an aspirin.

China has outlawed puns and other forms of wordplay.(seriously, they have) After reading this, I’m beginning to understand why.

Stephan, you really wracked your brain for that one! But that’s why I love this comic.

This is a better tongue twister than“She sells sea shells…”

Oh. For a moment, I thought he was talking about the traditional Ukrainian priest who refused to wear anything but a classic Cossack cassock.

So much snerk.

If I wanted to insult Patsis, I could call him a coccyx lollypop, but then I would get banned.

I love the puns, more please !!!!!!!!

HA!!!

Yes! Thanks Stephan. :)A good morning to all PBS readers,also,too. Peace.

Good one!

That’s not a cossack, that’s a Hussar!

Normally these puns earn a groan, but this one was actually quite good!

Little wonder that Mrs Pastis makes him sleep on the porch.

Hmmmmm……. is this anything like kleptomaniac

Claude Cooper from Cleveland who copped my

I am glad to see SP branching out from just puns to include tongue twisters. Great fun! Set the kids to work on trying to say them and have yourself some laughs.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

hmmmmmm………

At least this one was particularly creative.

Holy Moly, Mr. Pastis, that was really, umm… something.

Puns are Pastis’ strength.

This was the edgiest alliteration I have ever read.
