Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 06, 2015

If you have a complaint, Rat, you should locate SP’s boss Ezekiel. In other words, seek Zeke.

what a tongue twister

Steph should sack someone who says he sucks… and sometimes even seeks to sock him!

“The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick . . . " – World’s Hardest Tongue Twister, according to Guiness Book of World Records.

Corzak… some researchers have declared that the hardest is the nonsense phrase “pad kid poured curd pulled cold” ……..but I do find the “sick sheik” one harder to say.

This one’s a little easier.

I slit a sheet. A sheet I slit. Upon a slitted sheet I sit.

Was the story set in Sikkim?

Sick

Sic semper S.Pastis.

That article sounds like a lot of doggerel and it’s making me sic.

Mr. Pastis, that cheeky geek, should sneak a peek into proper pronunciation. Then he could seek for a chic sikh.

If this particular comic were published in a Turkish newspaper it would be pornographic.

Would you please say that in Croc…………………

I think I am going to be sihk.

That reminds me: what is the definition of twins? Why, womb mates, of course.

THANKS FOLKS! MY TONQUE IS NOW TIED.

Sickening.

He couldn’t get hired in a real job, Rat. McDonald’s wouldn’t even want him

Cartoon Boy has been trying too hard and needs some rest, in isolation, away from the rest of the world. A very private sanitorium, for example. With a strait jacket. And a gag. No visitors. Let him out after six months or a year….

Toon Boy is a sicko.

That’s worth two long groans.

I saw that one coming from the first panel :)

“She sits and sips Schlitz.”

Rat’s on a sikh and destroy mission. Go sic him!!

They are so bad they’re actually funny.

Quoting people verbatim makes me sic.

Bravo!

Wondering how often Stephan’s wife says that to him (just to get him out of the house :) )

I like this strip[toon] by pastis. Keep ’em coming toon boy. :) Peace.

And the sick sikkh shaves with a Shick, so he can pick chicks

“Rat-a-tat” goes Rat’s bat…

Actually, he WAS a lawyer, but that was more for his parents than anything else. Cartooning has been his day job for years now, as it was also always his dream job.

it has been my experience that people who complain about puns either don’t get them, or can’t construct them (or both)

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, a peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.I love this strip!

Oh shut up, Rat.

The sixth sick shiek’s sixth sheep’s sick.

Weird, just the other somebody posted a story about sic on FB.

The New York Daily News ran a repeat strip in place of today’s cartoon !!

Alliteration!
