Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 04, 2020

That’s going to have to be a mighty big cucumber.

Pastis is going to have one large cartoon lump on his head

Ow! Pastis, that wasa a knock on the head.,

I Yam What I Yam, and I Yam not impressed with that CORNY pun. So, I Yam going to BEET you over the head with a head of CABBAGE until I slaw you.

Toss those veggies in some Italian dressing if they are being served cold.

Have not laughed that hard in days. Thanks.

I’m surprised Rat didn’t treat Stephan to some high-velocity tomatoes.

PETV is going to call for a boycott. And of course the Anti-Pun Brigade.

On other hand, people who sell remedies for gastric distress will probably buy an ad…

I’d rather hit Steph with a daikon radish; those things can get pretty long.

Each time I think “Pastis cannot do worse than this.” Then he does.

I have one cucumber plant in my garden and it’s produced about 60 pounds of cukes so far. I could really punish Pastis.

This pun is too much even for me that I don’t speak English .

Is that a Klingon proverb? I didn’t even think Klingons ate their vegetables.

Remember, before you seek to re-veg, dig two graves.

Sometimes I totally agree with Rat.

How about a little word salad along with the veggies — Break open the cow, Albert, the bats have arrived from Mazatlán!

Stephan, one of your best…. Love ’em.

Beat him with a cucumber? Rat’s letting him off easy.

And I thought Rat would use a celery stick to beat him.

Stephan would be in quite a pickle if he Rat hits him with the cucumber!

ambition and re-veg are always hungry…

I knew there was a good use for cucumber. It’s certainly not worthy of eating.

I did not see that one coming. Good one.

Pig can you make the Re-Veg Zebra flavored ? … Croc Power !

I wouldn’t carrot all for that either.

Hmmmm.. a Wrath of Kahn quote…

Old Kling-wrap proverb.

If revenge is a dish best served cold, and revenge is sweet. Then revenge is basically ice cream.(I don’t remember what that’s from)

Stephan is cool as a cucumber.

Got it in the first panel (no, it doesn’t happen all the time)…I thought Rat might have other plans for Pastis with that cucumber, though! :D

Pastis must think we are gluttons for pun-ishment.

I’m sorry , but I did not gt it at all . I’m a dumb door .

Huh. Missed this one completely. . .from the first panel I thought this was going to be about beans. . .

beat him with a frozen cucumber. or at least chilled.

Join the vegetable army.The kernel wants you.

Cold Pastis salad.

Lots of hilarious Youtube videos of cats being terrified of cucumbers.

Crocs

That beating will be a dilly!

Knowing today would be a pun coming from the re-veg term, I was already smiling at panel 1.

Steph, enlisting Pig into one of your puns is despicable.

whoo, that one was bad. as bad as this day-old broccoli.

Hot dog! It’s a bad pun day!!!

Beat him so much he get cauliflower ears.

I will squash you for that pun, Pastis!

Sort of gives new meaning to a food fight, doesn’t it?

You can beat someone with a cucumber but you can’t cucumber someone with a beet.

Shouldn’t the word in the last panel be spelled “BEET”?!?

Yay puns!

That is so corny.

Regurgitate. Regurgitate. Bring up all the food you ate.

Wow…really lame today.

Pastis Pun! Huzzah!

And it is very cold in PIGS! IN! SPAAAAAAACE!

Hiss

Maybe Rat should stop serving them up for the punchline.

Orange you glad Pastis isn’t any worse?

The sad thing is – Pigs right – nothing worse than reheated left over vegetables.

Well, during my days as an AT&T mid-level manager, it was my scorching hot letter to the bosses-boss of an evil-doer. One guy finally responded to my calls and emails by saying, “I feel like I’ve been sand-bagged,” but normally I never learned of the great result such as this.

I use leftover veggies for fried rice. But I can’t make that work in a pun.

Lettuce discuss this rationally, shall we?

Puns rank slightly higher than slapstick in my book.

Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickles … those are just about the only vegetables that are palatable served cold (at least in this vegetarian’s opinion).

Re-veg? Worst attempt at a pun Pastis has done. Hope it means he’s finally running out of pun ideas.

Reading PBFS one never knows what’s going to turnip.

Is that stench garlic, or desperation ?

This got me so excited, it raised my basil metabolism. Was in a big hurry, but took the thyme to read it. And I’m looking for some sage advice. Want more flavor? Try some rosemary, baby. California yes, Oregon no.

Make sure it is a frozen cucumber. Hurts mo’ better…

What happened to the Crocs? We don’t hear of them anymore. It’s all Rat, Goat & Pig! Getting tiresome.

I can think of a better use for that cucumber.

RAT,FOR THE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY! GET TO IT! I CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE THESE LAME PUNS!

Pastis should be drawn and quoted.

Shoulda been ‘beet you with a cucumber’ … if someone else made that observation already, my bad.

Just do it, Rat! Think of it as Justice Served for all us victims of Cartoon-Boy’s atrocious puns!

Hey rat, use a gourd instead.

Like johndifool mentioned above, sounds like someone could use a video of cats and cucumbers, such as this one …

Some people don’t seem to carrot all.

Let’s be honest, we all needed that pun

I thought that was justice
