Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 23, 2021

But he does confess to his priest.

It exists! Intersectsionality!Say the wrong thing and be cancelled.

I often think that a lot of these groups should have their membership reduced by 50 percent. What do you think, folks—want to halve sects?

Rat is also in trouble for vandalizing the neighborhood bicycles. He has been caught on home security cameras taking a file to the pedals which snap off unexpectedly.

The police has a warrant to arrest him for pedal-filing.

Boo! Lame! Not funny! Okay, maybe just a little, but still.

I wouldn’t tell her, either.

Good thing Guard Duck isn’t involved in this pun du jour. Stephan could be seen as promoting sects and violence.

If you talk about them it’s oral sects.

Facebook is a lot like that. Bizarre things get taken down.

Puns are the lamest type of humor.

The Buddhist sects of Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe are collectively known as the Kinki sects.

Please practice “Safe Sects” !

Religions only promote missionary style sects.

I have no mo sanitizer. I. think I’m going insane.

It’s no use – I can’t think of a worse pun! :D

So all this time I’ve been an unregistered sects offender! I’ve slandered them all. Mission accomplished! You’re welcome.

Well Stephan at least no Rat bat to your head ….. Yet ;-)

Hate to admit it, but made Pastis made me laugh out loud.

This time the pun was actually kind of funny, and Stephan has created quite a lot of genuinely funny or profound comic strips as well, so I can stand that he resorts to puns when he is out of ideas for the day.

People’s lives have been torn apart, just saying .

sometimes a religious group has a fund drive – that would be its sect’s appeal…

Who reads a newspaper anymore?

My wife and I were both members of sects before we got married. I guess you could say we had pre-marital sects.

Woah

and within many of the religious sects are found many sex offenders preying on their members. Terrible but true.

Stephan breaks down the fun in a pun as he diss’s sects.

This is a pretty mild punishment compared to what these sects used to do to people who offended them.

No matter where look: plenty of sects.

Mom has some funny papers though, doesn’t she?

I try to get on the list as much as possible

If you even mention a person being black, you’ll get shunned. These days, jokes are a thing of the past.

Sects and drugs and rock ’n roll!

Nor should you ever….

Even bad sects can be good.

Let’s see if I can end with all the puns ;D if you believe in a god that it’s different than you, you’re heterosectual. If it’s like you, made in your own image… or viceversa…, you’re homosectual. If you belong to more than one sect you’re bisectual and if you change from one sect to another you’re transectual. If you belong to a sect and show yourself in public like belonging to another, you’re a crossdresser! ;P If you abuse sects, you end up orgasnizing rallies and ejaculating dogmas!!

groan….

The louder sects seem to get the most attention so I’m going with the oral sects

Good move not telling Mom..she’d drop a dime on you.

Hey – I love Pastis and he is one of the most beloved cartoonists on GoComics. Having said that, I’m shocked that almost 300 (as of 9 AM) people actually liked today’s cartoon! Do you want to encourage him to do more off-color puns? Perhaps he had a looming deadline when he created this one…

Very funny, Stephan. Keep ’em coming, please.

Social distancing has really been hard for those into group sects.

It seems like I read this comic yesterday, but it has today’s date. Am I going crazy?

I offend all of the Sects (especially the more traditional ones) because I can clearly see where they have made serious misconceptions that go against their fundamental beliefs.

That’s what I call my Holy Hand Grenade.

I have always enjoyed the title of an issue of National Lampoon from the late ’70s-early ’80s – “The Judeo-Christian Tradition: The Joy Of Sects”.

I’m not sure his mom is very proud…

Apparently his mom didn’t make sure he got the Sects Education Talk…

(¬_¬)

did you know that if you call terrorists some groups they will set up a bomb and pretend that this will convince other people that they are not terrorists?

I’m surprised the Comics Strip Censor didn’t make an appearance on this one… :p

Maybe we should just be done with secting as well.

Fixing may happen.

Pastis: “Don’t tell my mother that I’m a cartoonist! She thinks I’m a piano player in a whorehouse!”

Sects!! Sects and violins!! Woe!

He sends her money anomalously instead…

@BasilBruce Been married over 20 years. I don’t have sects.

For that, his Mom is eternally grateful.

Is Pastis related to Reed Richards? He really has to stretch for some of these puns!

My mom didn’t get it.

Can one volunteer to be on that list?

I don’t tell her.

She still thinks he’s a lawyer. That way, the shame is only minor. It’s another Stephan Pastis writing the comics.

Good grief! I think I may be a sects offender! Mum’s the word!

This included Trumplicans, Vaxers, the “immoral Minority”…….

You can’t hide the truth from a Greek mama, Cartoon-Boy. Bad puns will have their inevitable price. Eat wood!

What’s the turn-around for comics nowadays? This is pretty topical.

Wow! We covered a lot! Everything you wanted to know about SECTS but were afraid to ask.

When you start the sect and you’re all alone, only dirt and sediment pile up, you amass turbation. With another, it’s a couple sect. With three you can delegate the administration of the sect, it becomes a manage à trois. With four, it’s enough for a choir, so it’s a two couples singing sect. If that attracts another, it’s two couples singing with a lookie-loo. It takes six to get your sect orgy-anized :D

Any way to annoy Rat is music to my ears.
