Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 29, 2016

Stephan, you could’ve put all that effort into strip that had a real story.

So what kind of “ring dare” games does Benny play?

I wish I had not read this tonight before I went to bed. Bad dreams all night now.

What’s scary is that it took Pastis 6 months to come up with this pun.

I think Stephan meant to say “My Puns Are Tasteless”?

I honestly did not see “Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer” coming before getting to the second to the last panel..

and stolen from Flip Wilson.

Thimbull!!

If this hadn’t been explained to me< it would have taken me 6 months to “get” it !!This must be the worst yet.

By the way over here in UK Metro free Newspaper have dropped Pearls , I’ve written to them telling them I’m disgusted with them for depriving us of what little fun we had on our morning journey to work

This… this is the worst pun yet. I fudging love it. XD

Am I the only one who enjoys Stephan’s puns?

Then there was the American tourist couple in the old USSR arguing over whether it was raining or snowing in Red Square. The husband asks their government sanctioned tour guide, Rudolf, to settle the matter. The guide says, “Is raining!” Whereupon the man says to his wife, “Well, Rudolf the Red knows rain, dear.”

Stephan is SO getting coal in his stocking this year!

And, after the first hole at Raging Pines, Stephan is alone on the leader board at even par.

All of the other cartoonists used to laugh and call him names.

Let me be the first to say: Ho, ho, ho.

Who you calling a Ho?

Groaning…

My favorite strip, by far!

That…barely makes sense.

Yes they are.

I was just thinking, “Benny the Bull” and how Stephen seems to name many of his guest animals in this manner. A name matching the animal they are. Which makes me wonder why we don’t get Roy the Rat, George the Goat, Peter the Pig, and Zifer the Zebra. Instead we just have Rat, Pig, Goat, and Zebra. Hell, even Larry gets a name.

Seven days without a pun makes one weak.

Excellent.

I’m still wondering what are all the crazy things you can do with nose rings. Might be worth getting one. Love this one!

Stephan: Thanks for the bright spot in my day..every day

Do you sit up all night thinking of these puns?

We just hope for a time that is punless

Well I for one don’t care what y’all say, that had me laughing to tears.

What is it with bulls and rings?

xxx

Thank you Stephen … haven’t seen a long drawn out “punny” strip in a long long time … was expecting it today and you didn’t disappoint … the punchline was a bit too much, but thanks anyway

I knew the pun was coming. I told myself I shouldn’t read on. Yet I couldn’t … look … away …

Don’t know how you do it, Pastis, but you manage to our-pun yourself almost every time. Well done.

Does “time” equal “worth”?

Pun Guy strikes again!

Are effective puns the “best” or the “worst” we’ve heard? Whichever way, this one is superlative! Thanks!

Stephan, love those puns. I never ever see them coming and always laugh, or groan, when I get to that last panel. Thanks for thinking up so many great strips. I appreciate you!

I LOVE the puns!

HAHAHA! Love it! Thank you for brightening up a rainy Monday morning!

Congratulations, Cartoon-Boy! You fooled me with this one. Didn’t see it coming, and even at first didn’t catch it when I read it silently.Grudgingly, I must say, pun job well done! (But don’t let it go to your head….)

Boy Steph . . .

You Really Pegged the Ol’ UGH-Meter with This One !And SO out of Date ! tsk tsk tsk. (O: }I send all your horrible puns to my sister . . . since torturing sisters is what brothers do ! (O: } (O: }

This one might be funnier if he had gone back to punning less often.

LOL- I liked it! I can smell the originality from here.

Had to work harder than usual for that one, didn’t you, Stephan?

No, your puns are not timeless.

It may just be me, but every Sunday I always look at the last strip. If it’s Rat lambasting Stephan, I know it’s gonna be a good one.

The puns are just great…the best comic strip in the Sunday AJC.

..and I just kept plodding along, letting the pressure build….

Yes.

hahahahaahahahaha

I usually don’t write in or highlight physical books-I use ebooks for that because I don’t want to cause permanent change to the physical book. I guess if I had to annotate a physical book and it we’re a book I liked, I might get a non-annotating copy.
