Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 09, 2008

wow… this one is going back a looooong way. uh, i guess i shouldn’t say it cracked me up.

That made no sense whatsoever

actually its whats reffered to as a double enteandra… and it made perfect sense

Double entendre: a phrase that has two meanings, one of which is usually a pun, and the other which is a very straight foward meaning.

Isn’t this from some game show?

animated version of this on youtube

The duck is a reference to a game show called “You Bet Your Life”.

On “You Bet Your Life”, an ancient game show starring Groucho Marx, there was a “word of the day”. The game was pretty lame, but the show was worth watching because Groucho would talk with the contestant before asking the questions. And if someone said the “word of the day”, confetti and a fake duck (or chicken, I forget) would come down, and the contestant would win an extra prize.

I took it as the whole setup was there if they name dropped their own strip. Maybe I’m simple…

You just said the secret woid.

Hilariously whimsical. rofl

Groucho Marx show, “magic word”. The duck drops down and you get a prize!

Man, he should’ve done it on the 7th, as that was Perals Before Swine’s Bday

Sorry for bringing religion here but pearls before swine is biblical reference to not put nice things before what makes you wealthy

Wow.

Groucho strikes again!
