Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 17, 2023

I never considered frankness with being synonymous with obnoxious.

Frank can really be a wiener.

He REALLY “should’ve” called himself BLUNT Lloyd Wright!!!! Dan aka…

Jerk Lloyd Wright

Lloyd is wrong.

He is Shirley Frank Wright?

To quote a long ago storyline in L’il Abner, “Frankly, I’m with Frank”. The story had Abner learning the line without knowing what it meant. Frank was a mob boss. Put the fear into anyone he said it to.

As Simon and Garfunkle would say, So Long Frank Lloyd Wright.

Hey, Goat is the smart one here. You could be less Frank, Lloyd.

Hey, Pastis, please be respectful of my favourite architect.

It would be better if he just got to send his mail for free.

Give him a beer stein. He will be Frank-n-stein.

Sorry. That was the best I could do on such short notice.

His real name is Dick Lloyd Wright.

At least his last name isn’t Burns, right Frank?

Now Rat is not the only aptronym in PBS.

The ironic think about frank people is they seldom like others telling them what obnoxious anal cavities they are.

It’s the way of the world, now.

Hawkeye to Hot Lips… “Let me be frank. No, not Frank.”

Goat: “Let’s not take this conversation any furter, Frank.”

Seems like Rat’s kind of friend.

Dammmit!!! He got me.

Frank, my dear, I don’t give a dang.

I thought Goat was the brains of the outfit.

wait till Lloyd meets the Crocs.

I wanted to be Frank & Ernest with you, but Tom Thaves wouldn’t let me.

Grytpipe: Gentlemen, I’ll be frank…

Seagoon: I’ll be Tom.

Moriarty: I’ll be Gladys!

[SLAP]

I would consider myself more blunt than frank. Maybe they’re one in the same.

It comes as no surprise that Rat’s “friend” would not only be frank but also be an obnoxious jerk. Rat wouldn’t have it any other way.

Missing Last Frame: Pig comes in to Pastis’ office with a bat and says, “I am going to rearrange your architecture.”

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a ………………………

I always thought it was more important to be earnest.

“If you don’t mind my saying so…” He thinks people like being insulted? I wouldn’t take the word of someone that thoughtless seriously.

Frankly, there should be a law against people like Lloyd.

“May I be frank? I’ll be earnest if you’d rather.”

RIP Bennie Hill

I need to be Frank with you….

He left quite earnestly!

Truly, the actual FLW was very much that way! Like it or not, he spoke his mind, and did not hold back. … :)

So, is Wright right, or is Wright wrong?

The way he is too Frank explains why he is Rat’s friend.

Where’s the bat? Patis needs an adjustment.

Lloyd Wright was Frank’s son. Also a famous architect.

I was in the vicinity of Taliesin last summer but I drove right past it and did House on the Rock instead. Apparently the architect of House on the Rock was the son of another architect whom Wright once publicly humiliated, and he sought to avenge his father’s honor by upstaging Wright. At least that’s what I got from the introductory part of the tour, which I blew through as quickly as possible so I could see the more impressive exhibits farther in without having to worry about time.

Goat needs to butt him out of the strip. Jerk Lloyd Wright.

Maybe tomorrow we get to meet Ernest Hemingway. I hear he’s a very polite hardworking guy.

Actually I do mind you saying!

Generally I’ve known frank statements that were also critical. Wouldn’t it be better to be frank by saying how well you feel about your friends

Lloyd, m’man, you have not yet encountered Pig. Or the crocs. Once you do, I suspect that you will re-evaluate Goat.

Frank Lloyd Wrong

Frank incenses people.

In the winter do not visit Taliesin in Wisconsin, nor our House on the Rock, for that matter.

Rat and Lloyd are meeting up with their personal injury lawyer friend ; I M (gonna make them) Pay

Sun lights up the daytime, Moon lights up the night.I light up when you call my name, Cause I know you’re gonna treat me, Wright. (Right?)

Frankly,, my dear, I don’t give a darn!

But I think Goat may be feeling disrespected….

Is that the first stillborn pun that Stephen ever published? ps. Blame Rat.
