Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 04, 2017

I hope 3 ghosts visit Stephan tonight.

Somewhere, Democrats are using PhotoShop to place an image of Donald Trump’s face on that of the sheep, while Trump and his worshippers are putting a donkey’s head on the sheep’s head via PhotoShop.

What a sheepwreck. Think I’ll go read Mutton Jeff.

Is Pastis in a slump, or is it just a sheep dip?

“These are the puns I forged in life…”

I bet Charles Dickens would be appalled by this

That was baaaad. I’ll see myself out.

If the sheep has a baby, the fly could grab all the money, and go on the lamb.

Ewe are so evil!

I think that we should introduce slapstick humor to Stephan.

Sammy must not be related to Chuckie, the Non-anthropomorphic sheep.

Hah! Usually I can see a bad pun coming, but not this time! :D

Please play and hum “Far, far away.” Very old joke.

One of my favorite stories combined with a shaggy dog story. No better way to start the day. Keep it up, Stephan!

Stephen got in two puns today. Rat could’ve stopped the second one if he just whacked him with a bat.

It’s Stephan, not Stephen. BTW where did rat come from?

Slum Llord!!!

what a sheepish remark.

I thought we were playing cricket.

Shear pandemonium!

I have a feeling Rat is not going to flatter, but flatten, you…

Fly away, little fly! You don’t have to be involved in this silly sheep’s act at all.

Rat, meet your alter ego, Cartoon-Boy, the Shameless Punster.

Rat, beet Cartoon-Boy!

(No, that was not a misspelling. I was urging Rat to pummel him with cooked beets, because the beet juice would look like blood. We don’t want real violence in our ‘toons. —Although, in Stephan’s case, I might be persuaded to make an exception after an exceptionally excruciating pun….)

Beet me, Daddy, eight to the bar!

Sammy Sheep? Pastis, get out of that alliterative funk and come up with some imaginative first names.

Maybe if Sammy gets tired of playing the harmonica, he could ring a bell…whether or not that would sound good is anyone’s guess.

The puns had been getting pretty tired, but I really like this one!

After a strip like that, Pastis may have to take it on the lam…

Great, now I’m hoping for a Christmas Carol parody storyline, “A Cartooning Carol”!
