Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 23, 2019

Boys, why don’t you go outside and play with some balls.

puns are never safe with the CSC around

Rat has two proprietary factors to keep abreast of his social media culling methods

That was cull, sorry, it was cool.

You could test extra sensory powers or test es for short.

And yet Stephan Pastis will back tomorrow to play with words again.

There he is!!!

Aw, nuts!

That is cull and unusual punishment.

Can we try a test tickle?

Back in the day people freaked out if a woman on TV wore pants yet today’s generation is considered ‘sensitive’ and ‘easily offended.’

I hope boydpercy is right, Mr. Pastis!

This is now my fave Pearls strip of all time!

I had a great pun here, but I’d better shut up.

Well, it’s about time!

His test can’t be all that complicated. He only has five to pick from.

A Band from Ohio called “The Other Half” did a song called S.M.U.T. today’s strip reminds me of them …… Croc Power !

If back in school you thought the professor’s quizzies were tough – you should see his testies !

I wonder if the head of the CSC is referred to as the Chairman Scro Tem.

(helpless laughter)

My cousin was fired from the puppet factory. Her only job was to give Elmo two test tickles

They think about it all the time. But even in their toons, that’s pathetic.

I blame Rat, he told Pig to behold his test to cull, then complained.

Had to read it fast three times to ‘hear’ the objectionable word. Good one Steph!

Dear lord, Stephan has finally lost it….lol

Well, we’ve finally caught our cull-prit.

Test to cull – singular, only one?

This IS the bottom of the barrel, right?

I worry about a man who puts that much time and thought and effort into creating a pun around “testicle.” I mean, I’ve got two and I don’t spend THAT much time thinking about them.

This was a pretty ballsy strip for Pastis to run. Most other comic strips would have thought this joke was just nuts!

When I was in high school I saw the “Woodstock” movie, and I thought the stage manager’s sound check was SO CLEVER ! ! ! (Testes, one, two! Testes, one, two!)

I’m beginning to detect a selection from normal, here! Lol

No strip today. Must have been warned. https://www.gocomics.com/human-cull

Love it!

I now have a good reason to change my mind about censorship.

Kudos to Steph for properly spelling ’til.

Wow, that took a lot of… what’s the word I’m looking for…

Must have been too hard for Pastis to think of a pun for “Oompa-Loompas”…

Didn’t see that one coming. Mr. Pastis, I hope your mother called you over that one!

Oh, that was great. Thank you Mr. Pastis!

One of SP’s best!

…and don’t cul-de-sac.

Now, everyone knows that Rat has but one test to cull!

Cull prick.

Mountain Oysters for all.Every male character,please donate in the barn ;)

This inspired me. Guess what I’m touching right now …

obviously the CSC is not all powerful as Patsis got the word out today!! Heh, heh …

Christ, but I love this man

I would LOVE to know Stephen’s process! HOW THE HECK . . .

Reminds of the Book " The Cats Revenge " By Claude Balls

The CSC is board with this strip.

Wish CSC would take a job at Twitter.

He’s gone nuts!

Sometimes, this strip is all ball$.

H8Rs? block & scroll & block & scroll.

Stephan, you’re a nut!! (See what I did?)

LOL I love Stephan’s puns!

I could sit at home and mull/over which of my friends to cull/but it’s so hard to do/when there’s no more than two/ and everyone else finds me dull.

“Hey, Mister Cull-again man !”

Haaaaaaaahahahaha, snort, hahahahaha!!!

One of the toughest profs I ever had was named Cull. Very aptly indeed.

Poor is the man with just one.

Men invented athletic cups 100 years before the football helmet was invented. You can tell which body part men value more.

I found this strip strangely refreshing and unusual. I think that, between this and his regular puns, there is a vas deferens.

have you seen my tits? They’re quite colorful. And they sing nicely too.

It was noted on Facebook that the Arkansas Democrat Gazette did not post this one.

Hard to blame Comic Strip Censor Guy for this one, which Cartoon-Boy went to such pains to set up. But shutting down and barricading the strip is kinda extreme, I think….

I blame Trump for this degenerate thread

I snorked water up my nose when I read it! LOL.

Check out the July 22nd strip of Breaking Cat News. The PUNishment is spreading! (This from the co-author of a pun-laden short story called ‘Punishing Arnaud’.

OMG, Pastis, you are so pastee!!!!

I love Pastis!

He seems a little testy.
