Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 08, 2017

Rat and Pastis clearly have a S&M relationship.

Road trip time!

Er, wait a second. I’m not young anymore.

I think Rat would like to talk with Stephan about youth in Asia.

I think Goat needs a beating for saying what Stephan made him say (not unless Rat already took care of it while on the way to Stephan).

Wow, when it comes to hostel work environments, Rat really gets Inn to his work.

It’s a good, clean set-up for a good pun. I wonder why SP so frequently ends them now by having Rat assault SP himself? Why not make the pun the whole joke?

That pun doesn’t work in England – different pronounciation!

Five stars, Stephan! (And I don’t mean the painful stars)

Rat should’ve done that to Steph on Sunday

My guess is that this cartoon does not get translated too much to other languages

Looks like Stephan is going to need a hospice work environment.

In Utah, are they called Ute Hostels? ☺

So is she demonstrating her inn competence?

Thanks SP, best 1 I’ve seen today!

Rat is the only one who is hostile around here. Beats me why Stephan can’t simply just use the eraser…

Rat, the thug.

Isn’t every hostel a hostel work environment for its staff?

Oh, the shame Paris Goat must feel! As the respectable intellectual of the strip, he was the one forced to utter Cartoon-Boy’s latest pun! And, probably Rat battered him, too, while on his way to The Desk, where he has batted down the irrepressible punster.

It’s poetic justice!

Stephan’s work environment is hostile!
