Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 01, 2015
Transcript:
Rat: Save me, Pig... I'm a chicken breast, and if the fast food chains get ahold of me, they'll chop me into little nuggets. Pig: And you don't like that? Rat: No... I don't even know what a nugget is. Pig: Then I"ll try to get the fast food chains to stop. Do you want me to keep you informed of my efforts? Rat: Yes. I'd appreciate your keeping me abreast of keeping me a breast. Rat: This strip should die a slow, painful death.

One of those strips where Pastis reaches a little too hard and ends up giving us an extremely lame pun after all that effort.

I find today’s humor simply titillating.

as Rat breathes out a thigh of exasperation.

Perhaps it already is, Rat.Kudos to @Sherlock Watson for his usual high quality comment.

If you don’t know what a nugget is, what makes you think they’ll turn you into a bunch of them? They could be made of beaks.

Look, if I’m going to accept the premise of a talking chicken breast on a plate (waiting to be eaten, no?), then its rather simple wordplay has to be tolerated. Not loved or even liked; just tolerated.Meanwhile, Cartoon-Boy, we’re coming to get you….

Keep a breast or two for me too Pig. Thanks.

This is bananas! If Stephan’s going to use talking food in his toons, then maybe Rat is justified in going Børk! Børk! Børk! upside his head.

Larry Croc says it tastes like chicken.

The chicken breast can relax: everyone know well that there is not actually any trace of chicken breast in McNuggets.
Arianne over 9 years ago
I was just kidding earlier, of course. I would never really encourage Rat to børk Cartoon Boy, or verbally batter his chicken breast strip. I take the sweet with the sour, and I’m perfectly sataysfied with this one.

Would brining the breast be considered breast augmentation?

For those of you who love puns and such. This is a great site.

just think instead of talking heads we could have talking breasts. as a friend of mine use to say so many years ago “can you picture that?”well maybe, maybe not and still remain sane

Why is It on a platter rather than in D Cup?

@Kali39 ..Re: Chicken McNugget … As Krusty said about the Ribwich … “.. Think smaller and with more legs ..”

Good thing pig wasn’t doing sit-ups or he’d need an ab-rest too!

They’re really milking this for all it’s got.

Puns are like sex: even when it’s bad, it’s good.

I read all the comments and now I am going, ta-tas for now.

You think some of your readers are looking for tit-elation?

Being the “other white meat”, pig has a dog in this fight. pork chops, chittlins, bacon, and ham -mmmmm!

OK, Rat—time to break out the baseball bat on Pastis again …
natureboyfig4 Premium Member over 9 years ago
Shame you couldn’t have had Rat asking “OK, what boob wrote today’s strip?” :-P

Niiiiice dodge on the comics censor there, Pastis!
rqs1123 over 9 years ago
It is, rat, it is!
TMO1 Premium Member over 9 years ago
This was one of those days where the sentiment in panel 4 is correct. Perhaps they should run re-runs when Pastis doesn’t have any decent ideas.

Ah – this reminds me of the Fruit Buddies, as in Pig talking to food.

Well, I know it’s not chicken. The last one I ever ate was breaded fat and connective tissue. Yum.
