Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 01, 2019

I’m taking the next Qantas flight out of here.

I can hardly bear it.

Hey, an animal Pastis can actually draw realistically. He’s even got the white chest.

Time to share some eucalyptus with Pastis

Born to pun .

AAAAARRRGGGGHHHHHHH!

…down under your oompa loompas.

Good name for the koala.

Please didgeri-don’t.

Don’t panda to the masses.

The dieticians at Mother of Mercy Hospital in Sydney serve their patients an aromatic tea made from eucalyptus leaves. It’s energizing properties operate in humans just as a diet of the leaves keeps Koalas healthy. But to get the full benefit, the ground leaves must be drunk with the tea.

Yes. The Koala Tea of Mercy is Not Strained.

But Rat, you’re the one who’s delivering the punchline!

Hey, we haven’t had a real groaner from Pastis for a while, so he was due…

This means he’ll stay on the Northern hemisphere. Then again, how hard can a rat hit?

I miss Kwiki Koala.

(throws chickens at Pastis)

The koality of this strip has gone down under.

Alternate ending:.

Rat (threatening Pastis with a cricket bat): G’day mate!

Stephan’s puns need “koalaty control”

KC instead of QC alright if you must ;-)

Great funpun!

I like Koko Koala much more than Pepsi…

Take him Outback to the shed first.

Sheesh! I really HATE puns!

Down under? What kind of a bloak are ya?

I know it only encourages him, but I did laugh at this one. Forgive me.

Any factory which hired Koko Koala for Koalaty control will probably Roo that descision.

What a crock.

It took awhile to figure out what a young child meant by “the Coca-Cola Beast”.

Hey Rat: Please save some for the rest of us!

Did he steal this joke from Marsupial Sales?

It would have been more effective if he’d called it a beverage factory. That’s right, I’m nit-picking a pun.

Groan!!!

Yeah, Pastis is back!

No more puns.

Thunder down under.

As a veteran of 20 odd years in manufacturing QC, I love it!

Please, I’ve been running the Oopa-Loopa gag too much lately.

LOL I do love Stephan’s puns!

Do it, Rat. But it won’t work.

I like your version better. Mine was based on the Tea House on the Mercy River,

Rat should feed Pastis to the Drop Bears.

Was it a Cocakoala factory?

Go for it, Rat! Right in the oompa-loompas!

I support anything that might cause Cartoon-Boy to think twice before inflicting these puns on the characters (like Pig) who do all the work for him!

I like the new backgrounds
