Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 12, 2017

But strippers get better tips.

My eyes, my eyes!!!!

Give him some money before he gets down to his G-string!

iF NOBODY CREATED ANYTHING, WHAT A BORING WORLD IT WOULD BE!

Where is the censor when we need him?

I have one word for you Stephan… Pasties.

I’ll admit upfront, I post my art on facebook for the attention. What other reason is there?

It’s going to be very difficult to un-see this.

EGAD!

“Acceptance and admiration”? Then why the puns?

Cramer designed the brosierre for people just like Stephan.

Chippendale dancer alert!

Most creative people I know create for the same reason they breathe. They have no choice.

Sorry to get serious. It was a funny strip.

Berkeley Breathed called his profession a “stripper.” Pastis must have misunderstood.

Creators like to make people laugh. That’s why he created such a ridiculous body.

Man-maries! Hairy man-maries! Brain bleach stat!

This comic is offensive……….to strippers.

Creative people create because they have to.

add to list of things once seen that cannot be unseen gack

I like you better with the top on….No offense

Ew…moobs….

Please Stephan, NO!!!

I, for one, am all in favor of giving you a hug, but you need to put your clothes back on first.

Does anyone have any brain bleach left? Please say you have!

Ouch.

This is irrelevant to the strip, but maybe, the crocs would go to the supermarket and discover Zebra cakes. Then who knows what they would do!

For the love of God, Rat or Pig! Hug Cartoon-Boy before he goes any further with his comic strip tease!

Blind me

Wonder how many strippers he offended today?

The strippers I know are often victims of childhood abuse and neglect. To say they are seeking acceptance and admiration, while true on one level, cruelly simplifies a complex and tragic issue, and shows a sort of simple minded lack of empathy, and, in this case, makes me cringe instead of laugh. (I usually like the strip and think it’s pretty funny.)

And not as inappropriate.

Hey! I’m a creative person and I hate being the centre of attention! And stripping really isn’t my thing. If you saw me dance, you’d agree.
