Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 18, 2015

And here I thought the censors would never allow such pillow talk.

Q: How do you get down off an elephant?A: You don’t. You get down off a duck.

We’ve hit a new low… I saw it coming.

pathetic, but a wee bit brilliant

A better ending would be Rat swinging a bat at Pastis and Goat saying Duck!

Pastis has such pluck.

It’s just a little pillow talk.

I bet he’s really chopped chicken feathers.

Pastis, take Goat’s advice.

Poor pillow… he needs a new outfit…so he’ll be covered, just in case.

Have to agree with Goat……..by far one of Toon Boys most lame puns.

Go out for a drink with some friends; maybe get 3 sheets to the wind.

Is this one of those pillow cases?

did he stuffed little guard duck in there? havent seen him 8n a long time..

I wonder what Pig does when he’s recycling cardboard and he sees the sign, “break down boxes.”

even the ‘great’ ones have somewhat ‘off’ days goat. and it could be ‘goose’ down – or ‘blackhawk’ down – or maybe even ‘strip’ down – isn’t it great how pig has the time to cheer up down.

Love it!

If it had been Rat responding in the last panel, I’m sure we would have seen Stephan looking down in the mouth.

only a sham.That was obviously a blanket statement.

Let’s hope Guard Duck doesn’t hear about this.

When You Feel A Little Down…Its Time To Change the Duck… not pillow!

I guess that’s better than feeling all puffy…

Pig was going to turn to the cool side of the pillow, but he wasn’t invited. He never is.

Stephan: “Tell that to Tony Rubino!”

At least he’s not going around goosing people.

Or should be…

Oh I bit that one!

Maybe the pillow can take comfort talking to the comforter. He too, knows what it’s like to be down.

Goat is being too gentle with Cartoon-Boy. What a downer today!

do you wanna buy a duck? does it quack? of course, it quacks

The pillow will feel better if he gets plumped up.

xxx

Shouldn’t Goat have said: “find more pro-duck-tive work”?

It’s eider down or up

Because the pillow is down, the sleeper is up, refreshed

Zeus!!! I LOVE this strip—every single day! I’ve even gotten used to the crocs.

You tell lies thinkin’ I can’t see,you can’t cry ‘cause you’re laughin’ at me…

Secretly, I love his puns. I must stay in character while in strip, however.
