Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 14, 2017

There isn’t a firm that will hire him.

how does one know what time it is on an analogue clock that has no second hand?

Re. Rat’s comment: I’ll second that!

Or jump off a cliff. Whatever’s less soul-destroying.

He did a “second hand” joke a long ways back.

A triple…that’ll be hard to top. Or rather, bottom.

I can feel my soul being shredded as I read this comic.

I had already heard this third hand. And it is getting out of hand.

Give a hand to Steph

That one took me a second.

Law career was too much work and the clothes were uncomfortable.

I think there is too much time on his hands. This pun is the second worst, hands down!

Maybe if he returns to his law career he can sue this site for it’s very poor design.

This is one of the first pun strips i’ve seen in a while!

Since his head is the hour, what is it when his head’s up his butt?

Hold on a second…

My what interesting comments. I guess the majority of people here are professional cartoonists with more readers than PBS?

What?! Stephen a lawyer? If that’s true, there could be enough gags in that for a year at least!

“Today’s strip has been brought to you, courtesy of the Department of Redundancy Department!”

on second thought, stay with this job. there are waaaaaaay too many lawyers already.

There goes the hope for the new year.

I like that!

These are my favorite strips: the ones where Stephan makes a terrible pun and the rat calls him out on it!

Alternate ending (Rat to Pastis): “A broken clock is right twice a day—but you, you just ain’t right boy.”

Please!

Your alter ego speaks wisely, Cartoon-Boy. We don’t deserve this pun-ishment!

Maybe it is a girl clock, so there is no proud appendage for the seconds…

He’ll just pun it up in the office.

Steve had a law career

A like it when he is able to make a certain sound over and over.
