Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 21, 2024

I don’t want to milk her now

Better look out for Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.

another shady pun from our artist!

Is Pig always the straight man? He never threatens Stephan, unlike Rat. I’m surprised Goat is angry.

Yesterday. All the puns seemed far away. Now it looks as though they’re here to stay

He tried to ask both Lucy and later her little sister Jen on a date, but neither Lucy nor wee Jen would.

Hey Pastis: “No one” should be “No Udder”…

Shades of purple.

I just heard George Harrison turning over in his grave.

You’ve milked your final pun with me, Stephan. It’s gone sour (and cheesy)….

Pastis, “Let It Be”!

Utterly moving!

Let it be, goat.

Hey Jude don’t look so sad ( it’s just a clever Pun , sorry I don’t do rhymes at 4:58am ! )

Shady

The walrus was Stephan.

And when you’re rolling up these blinds, the cow sings that old TV theme song: “Moovin’ on Up”

When George Harrison did his one American tour, he changed the line to “Something in the way she moves it” with a little sneer.

Time to move on to the udder one.

That’s udder nonsense

Eh look like he milking pun but me no get it?

It’s certainly true, and validates that old saying, “Hate to see you go; but love to watch you walk away.”

I don’t want a lever now.

You’re living in the past, my friend, you’re living in in the past…Dan aka…

We DO wanna leave you now.

Groan

That was a long trip for the ending.

Don’t wanna louver now…

Hahaha! Ouch. It hurts to laugh at that one. :D

So funny! Udderly ridiculous!

You know that it is coming, but not sure how bad it will be!!

I didn’t know Pig was into cows.

I thought it was clever. Maybe not a big laugh but cute.

Temu will have them in stock by noon…

I was udderly blinds sided by this one.

Absolutely brilliant. (haven’t had my coffee yet)

I like these, but do they come in a different color? I never saw a purple cow…

The retired sea captain hated sea birds . He would walk along the shoreline throwing rocks at any he saw . He’d leave no tern unstoned .

You don’t have to buy one. You can rent it. It’ll be your part time louver.

I’m attracted to puns. I cannot get enough of them.

Stephan must have been listening to “Number one blind” by Varuca Salt when writing this one.

Good thing it doesn’t say My Sweet Lord, you don’t want a lawsuit on your hands

This joke is just six words long.

Whoo! I did not see that one coming! Congrats, Stephan!

Thank you for the laugh. Appreciate you and your “staff”!

Dreadful. Worthless. It’s the exact same strip every time: “Pastis” does a terrible gag, and in the last panel, one of his characters insults (or physically abuses) him for it. Why would you do that same strip more than once ever? Why would he do that like every third Sunday when he’s capable of doing a strip that’s actually entertaining instead?

I wasn’t sure if the joke would be a pun about The Louvre…

Happiness is a warm gun, momma.

When you think about it reverse engineering a phrase into a pun like takes more than a bit of talent.

Bravo

Mr. Pastis is a deeply disturbed individual.

Pretty sure I’ve never found one funny, but occasionally i don’t see it coming in the first frame. So… congrats?

Strips like this are really getting old.

Ouch.

Love is blinds…

If you have never seen the version of “Something” during the tribute Concert For George, check it out on YouTube.

Okay, I’m laughing. good one!

Clever. I really enjoy how he comes up with these.

i am still laughing. i had read thru all the sunday funnies, and had not laughed. then i realized i had not read Pearls Before Swine yet. ROTF… Something in the way Steve mooooves me, makes me laugh like no other….

One of my smart-TV weather apps has a farm screen saver, including moving critters — I’m jarred awake then the Sandhill Cranes fly through the scene.

The sound I made was a groan of envy. Well done!

The target audience must be really old for that joke to hit.

LOVED IT!

Steven, I like the way you think. FAR out of the box!

I was trying to figure it out without skipping ahead!

My favorite Pearls pun goes something like, “Count trees. Rhodes, take me home.”

Anybody remember any part of that one?

My wife sells window coverings, and you got a big belly laugh out of her with that one!

Didn’t see that one coming!

G R O A N — LOLOL

What’s Rat doing today that requires Goat to pinch hit for him?

Haha! I was expecting a pun but never saw that one coming.

Ok, that was a little funny.

I love Stephan’s puns—they are so punny!

Another song about Patty Boyd? …..Patty……

Hey, he’s not smoking, at least.

Guffawing!!! Well done!

One of the best songs of all time, and a great pun. Thanks, Stephan!

Purple shades, all in my brain! Lately things don’t seem the same. Acting funny, but I don’t know why. Scuse me while I kiss this guy.

And all this time I thought they were called slats

is perfect

would’ve thought that goat would appreciate the wit behind that one
