Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 18, 2021

Pastis sold his soul long ago.

Boo!

Isn’t that Hell’s motto? “Dew drop in!”

I heard that all the beavers are forming their own community; they’re calling it Dam Nation.

Hell Yes! Provoke the Devil with your Puns! Much worse than shouting at the devil, I dare say.

He’ll spend eternity on his bun reading commenters’ puns on his puns.

I’m more into Baja Blast Mountain Dew than regular Mountain Dew which can be found at Taco Bell as well as — surprisingly — my employed grocery store.

Lucky Pig ! He got to deliver the Punch line !

He’s going to Hell because he made a bad pun?

I was expecting something like “Dew unto others …”.

This is why one needs to follows the DEWS and DAUNTS of cartooning.

Mountain Dew is much worse than Rat gives it credit for.

Neighbor Bob is the devil?!

Pastis is very clever.

Pastis put a lot of work into that one. I think he should get a pass.

it’s been YEARS since we last saw the Devil in the comics.

Looks like Pastis is going to pay his Dews!

A lot of people who post comments here will be joining Pastis.

Keep up the good work, folks. And I dew mean it.

“Do the Dew, Do the Dew< Good for you”!

Does Pastis really deserve this PUNishment?

Will the PUNtiff in Rome, wade in to mitigate?

Pastis may have to use a DEWly elected lawyer for his defense!

I already knew this.

And the Devil will have to put up with his puns.

So Pastis will bid Adew to the strip for making a bad pun ? Now that was long overdew.

If you do puns, you go to Hell before you die.

The original ‘Dew did not have citrus juice, the current does. That’s why I can’t drink the current ‘Dew, it upsets my stomach.

I feel proud of myself when I guess the punchline to one of these before I get there.

Yes, I know that’s pathetic.

He’s going to Hell only if he hasn’t asked Jesus Christ to be his Savior.

Yes. Yes, he is. :D

And yet, Pastis is undaunted.

Where’s your hand basket Steph?

We need to keep Stephan away from his pencil.

I’ve only had Mountain Dew twice in my life and both times it actually did make my stomach hurt. So maybe Rat is on to something.

That was terrible…

.

…hee hee…

.

Dew another one!

pastis classic sunday strip is setting up a pun. Remember “I Don’t Like Green Ags and Hamm”? “To Bea or not to Bea”? “Thinking outside the Bach”? This is lovely, too.

The more convoluted the set-up, the more I seem to enjoy these awful puns. lol

Keep em coming. Love these!

Mountain Dew is awful.

The devil needs to go to hell.

Mountain Dew is my, “Water Of Life”! (…Luv It!!!)

..in a hand basket

I thought that I was already in it……

I knew it was going to be a pun by panel 3. I love it.

Hell of a good strip today.

How does he keep doing these? Because we keep reading them — like a train wreck

Once had a boss that always had a can on Mountain Dew in his hand all day long; turned out it was half filled with Vodka!

Sometimes you can sort of see the rotten pun coming; not this time. This rotten one actually made me laugh.

Is that a pun-ishable offense?

That was funny!

“Well I asked my old Pepsi why he called his brew, Mountain Dew instead of White Lightning…” Apologies to George Jones!

Torturous!

i love the bad pun ones! i can never figure out where they’re going!

Toon Boy’s puns reach new levels of execrability, Hell is too good for him. It’s been years, but I still haven’t recovered from “Ferret’s Elf!”

HELL no! (Ha!) Stephen brings UNBRIDLED joy to COUNTLESS lives. He is 100% going to heaven to bug Christ with terrible puns. “HEY, JESUS! Did you hear what the leprechaun said to the eggplant?!?” " . . . >sigh<"

You’re a sick man, Pastis, very sick.

The devil looks sad about it. Normally he’s happy when he recruits new followers.

Pastis, don’t try to daunt the devil, or you’ll find yourself in deep doo-doo.

I have little doubt that the only “humor” (I use that term very loosely) in Hell will be puns.

Hell refuses to take excessive pun makers. And St. Pter won’t even leet them get near the pearly gates. The only place for them is purgatory, where they serve as torture for the rest of the souls sent to purgatory.

The road to hell is paved not with good intentions, but bad puns…

Even the devil doesn’t like Stephen’s puns!

His puns are groaners. Love them…

damn right! That’s not just bad, that’s horrific!

G R O A N — LOLOL

Oh what the hell…

Go, Satan’s Little Helper! Do take Cartoon-Boy down There! Take him now! Take him now!

I knew by the second panel that an excruciating pun was coming up. And no, I didn’t look ahead.

Neighbor Bob is the devil.

Pastis should ask that guy for some canned ham…

I shouldn’t be surprised that the Devil’s carrying a Trident on Earth but… fork in hell!

this looks more like a thing from heck and he is getting a visit from Phil

He’ll have lots of company!!

I actually lol’d on this one
