Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 04, 2021

The rest of us read the strip to mock you.

Everyone loves Pastis and his puns.

Bob thought he was bidding on a a trip that included Pastis Bistro, a restaurant specializing in French style meals.

Some things you just walk into . . . and then scrape off on the sidewalk.

Ouch.

I walked into a wall once. Maybe twice.

“One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do” 3 Dogs Night !

Why is it always Bob? (From a real-world Bob)

The most wonderful thing about Tiggers is that he’s the only one!

No, Stephan, you’re the best one! From Russia with love

Stephan I’m sure Larry Croc also likes you ;-)

At least he’s not a number two.

Fan is short for fanatic, and the world in it’s latest incarnation has NOT been improved by fanaticism -

just keep an eye on that one Pastis, and count your blessings.

did you get his autograph?

Just want to tell you… Bob was hit by a truck and is dead now. You have no more fans. :P

AWWW, I’M A BIG FAN, SO BOB HAS COMPETITION!!

… and he’s an oscillating fan

… so depending on which way the wind is blowing …

I’m a fan of the guard duck.

anyone ever heard of “Big Ass Fans”? They make really big fans (look ’em up).

That’s why Pastis uses so few turtles. Too easy to mock them.

I don’t think Stephan has anymore faith in this strip. Just look at all the recent ones that have been uploaded.

Aw, don’t worry Pastis, I’ll always be your number 86,351st fan.

So if a bird poops on his head, what happens when the s**t hits the fan?

Keep failing upward Steph!

So much for Pig’s net worth as a friend…

Oh Stephen—-I’m one of your fans, too. I’m just trying to figure out how you know so many of my relatives ;-)

I’m a big fan of Pastis – particularly after dinner, with an ice cube or a splash of cold water…

Welcome Pastis, to emasculation 101, and remember… The first cut is always the deepest!

So many Bobs in this strip

You’ve really hit rock bottom, haven’t you, Cartoon Boy?

177,000 followers? I’d say that qualifies for pretty darn successful! Probably in the top 10 here at GoComics – anyone know/

Because of Pearls, is why I started to read GC! I have many of Stephans books! Thanks for the memories!

Look on the bright side Stephan, at least it isn’t Kathy Bates.

That hit home hard… At least for Stephan.

Yet at the time of this comment, this has 248 likes. Bob must have a lot of accounts.

It would be cool if his number one fan was actually a fan lol.

Ah, come on. He’s not that bad for a Sonoma County Boy…..

If pig is going to burn you, you know you are in trouble.

Cheer up Stephan, I’m a fan also! So now you have two.

Don’t listen to them I’M your number one fan! :D

Stephan, my name is not Bob.

Wow! Am I the ONLY ONE who loves “Pearls” more than any other comic??? I find his DREADFUL, MONSTROUS, UNHOLY puns soothing.

The snark is strong in this one.

No, no Rat. Bob is YOUR only fan.

What about Rodney Dangerfield?

There is always a chuckle here….ALWAYS

is it self depreciation day again already?

Don’t know about anyone else, but I’m under a court order!

I’m a big fan of Pearls, the pun strips not so much. Take the good with the bad

don’t listen, stephan, i’m fan #2!

I’m a fan of this strip. In the words of a great philosopher, I know I’m not the only one.

—In which we see Cartoon-Boy self-skewered!

Good one, Mr. Pastis!

I’m the number one fan of the man from GC…

OOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! ROOAAAAAAAAASSSSSSTTEEEEEEEEEDDDD!
