Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 08, 2019

Let’s be honest, it’s bias against white…

Pig must not like Texas as the Texas Long Grain wasn’t invited either.

I imagine that puffed rice has to have a big ego.

what party involves brown and basmati rices, Pig?

Pig must be a racist. White rice was not invited—neither was Black Rice nor Purple Rice.

Uncle Ben’s did rice poorly. Industry made rice a sticky issue. Not a good thing for the Asian market.

Next, Pig is going to have a bread party. Steamed buns won’t be invited either.

Pig forgot to invite everybody else whose last name is “Rice”.

A nice rice whine for the party…?

He seemed boiling mad to me! It all went against the grain for him!

Better than that preachy Uncle Ben with his converted rice.

It’s not a party until the wild rice arrives.

It looks like Stepan used the wrong “too” in the second panel.

They are all going to get fried together.

I like steamed rice.

I badly want to make a pun on this, but can’t seem to rice to the occasion!

Variation of the old “How do you get steamed oysters?” “Make fun of their religion”.

Ah Rice …That’s nice …. Croc Power !

Reminds me of an old joke. “What’s small, white and crawls up your leg?” —Answer: “Uncle Ben’s Perverted Rice”. LOL!

To? Too?

So what is on the menu for this party?Sushi? Risotto? Pilaf?

He’s steamed alright…..throwing a hissy fit…..lol

Fried rice isn’t there cuz he couldn’t get out of bed.

Mr. Biriyani would like to have a word with you, Pig.

Wild rice wasn’t invited either. I guess they feared it would be trouble.

Your steamedness offends me.

Should have been “too.” Just sayin’

Wild rice is waiting in the wings tearing up the joint.

That steamed rice should “pilaf” it’s old personality,and chill

With all of the ricism in this strip I’m not surprised that that half-breed Rice-a-Roni wasn’t invited either.

Stephan made it clear that when he puts in a masked dirty word, that he uses exactly the same number of special characters as there were letters in the original intended word. He put in 13 special characters there, and I only know of one dirty word of that length; a form of it was on George Carlin’s original list of the 7 Words You Can Never Say On Television, one of the compound words, except that it ends in “ing” here instead of “er”.

That rice must have REALLY been steamed.

Later on, it will pick up some rice wine, drink heavily, and get fried.

Must be a slow day to resort to rice jokes

If steamed rice gets too out of control, he may get hauled off in a rice paddy wagon!

No noodles?

The rice was steamed because it had been demoted from kernels to second lieutenants.

Everything is bad for you Dept. :

The only possible response to this strip is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH LOL !!!!! Thanks for the Friday laugh. Good think I already finished my coffee.

What no sake for goodness sakes?

Hey! Who let the vermicelli in? must be that bunch from San Francisco.

That kinda goes against the grain.

it isn’t a party without wild rice

Didn’t invite your girlfriend – Jasmine?

Isn’t “tantrum” a Sanskrit word meaning “half-overheard conversation”?

In the “R” rated version it’s steamy rice.

:)

Pretty low, Cartoon Middle-aged Guy, punning on rice and imputing to it the kinds of prejudice that bedevil humans and anthropomorphs….

my guesses for the swear words: motherf*cking and sh*t
