Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 16, 2018

The chef should take off his shirt and practice his right to bear arms.

Heh! Made me snort.

So much for employee safety.

Is this a Benihana Haha?

If you give them the right to bare arms they’ll want the right to bare feet and then the right to moon their neighbors!!!

That’s not a firearm, that’s an arm fire.

So is he going to get fired for having firearms?

Fire arm = fired. Or fried.

But he was a good guy with firearms!

That’s one tough Maitre D’

“You’re fired!”

It’s a strict company policy that if you are going to burst into flames, it must happen outside, off the premises. There are no exceptions.

It isn´t firearms – if it was his arms would be made of fire. Atm it is just armfires.

The last panel should have been Rat pummeling Stephan with the butt of a gun.

Good thing it’s a gun-free zone, because mass shootings never happen in those.

Technically, that’s a fire sleeve, so, no.

After the restaurant gig he ended up getting a job in a Geico commercial as a baseball mascot.

This is taking zero tolerance way too far.

“Good, so PLEASE HELP ME EXTINGUISH IT!”

“… Now everyone thought that banishment to the Pointless Forest was a bit excessive but the law was the law and the people were all good law abiding citizens…”

Arm the arms!!!!

If firearms are outlawed,only outlaws will have fire..arms,wait,nm…

If only there was a waiting period to wear the jacket.

Yell ooopa, then put it out by squeezing a lemon over it.

he should of concealed it

So that’s a half-baked Alaska?

Should have disarmed him.

If the cook were a bear, would he have the right bear bare arms? Or have we had it wrong all this time, and the framers of the Constitution meant the right to own ursine appendages (“bear arms”) shall not be infringed?

Is he allowed to make bombe glacee?

The bottom of the sign (the part you don’t see) says, “Violators will be shot”.

Rat doesn’t want rules. He just wants to see chaos.

Bananas Foster is a threat to public safety.

Good one, S.P. good one!

Take that, NRA!

I love when a comic makes me laugh out loud. Made my day!

So, once the fire is out is he then in violation of the non-smoking policy?

ees it flamethrower?

Considering what he was about to do to the diner with a dirty fork, this chef had it coming.

He got fired.I’m the 63d commenter. What d’ya bet somebody up there said this before me. Snicker

I’m just surprised Rat didn’t beat Pastis over the head in for making a bad pun.

Hey, chef, what’s cookin’ ?

We really loved your cherries jubilee, but based on the extra ash we found, you’ve been chopped.

Is it permitted to burn Cartoon-Boy at the Sick Puns Stake?

Rat HAS shot Stephan before…

In the heat of the moment, this strip really burns me up.

Insult to injury!!

“Look, my arm on fire” name that book.
