Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 08, 2015

From Ratty, with hate.

Apparently Pig/Stephan aren’t the Bond fans they claim or they would no that the villain in Moonraker isn’t Jaws, but Draco.

Since when did the pun when from 007 to The Rolling Stones?

Just once I’d like to see the guys congratulating Stephan on his puns, rather than threatening him. But I suppose being a cartoonist is an Odd Job.

“Do you expect me to talk?”“No, Mr. Pig, I expect you to dine!”

At the Her Majesty’s Secret Table, can you get Blofeld fish?

There’s thirty seconds of my life that i want back. Norman

The set up is half the fun on these puns.

Aw, come on! Nobody mentions “The Man with the Golden Pun” already?

I expected Moore.

As soon as pig mentioned “sat us faction” I knew this was leading up to the Stones song title.

I like his puns.

HAHA. Rat, the enforcer!

The best part of these strips is seeing what Rat (and any of the others) will threaten to do to Pastis… well, that, and the fact that Stephan actually knows just how bad his puns are!

I don’t think I’ve ever been “sat”, while several servers have seated me.

At the restaurant next door, I got there early and I knew a lot of Irene Cara trivia, so my Fame preseated me.

I vaguely remember writing a song like this. Signed Keith Richards.

They should let Pastis live and let die.

Hey, live and let pun. After all, you only pun twice.

Is “beaten” an option? Snerk

Does Steph light his cigarettes with a Felix Lighter?

You can opt for the lesser experience, the “Sat Us Light”.

Thanks a lot Toon Boy….I can’t seem to stop singing that tune this morning…..I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tri i ed………..

From the setup, I was expecting a pun involving Octopussy or Pussy Galore, and wondering how he got it past the censors. Hey, they’re MPAA approved movie titles, it’s okay to say them.

You guys notice Stephan doesn’t use Zebra or the Crocs too much anymore? What gives?

I love the sense of anticipation in reading Pearls when you know one of these plays on words is coming up!

And it’s only going to get worse.

The pun is mightier than the sword.

Today’s pun was a good one! :) This genre used to be called the Shaggy Dog story. (Does everyone know the one about the knight riding a dog on a rainy evening?)

“(applause) can you hear me, Stephan? (applause)” Yes. I Like,too. :)

I like the setup and punny. Don’t hate me,please. I’m an old man and slightly disabled. :)

Love it!

The reason I READ this strip is for the word games – thank you, Stephan Pastis!

Don’t invite Stephan to dinner . . he wouldn’t get pasthis SPECTaters . . . ☯

Is Pastis talking about the Bond-themed bar in Milwaukee? (if it’s still there. It’s been awhile.)

Stephan needs to get a better Lock on his Door.

In a style by itself the most funniest strip today!

“The name’s Pastis. Stephan Pastis.

… and I really need a real job.”

Just kidding. The puns here are great. Keep it up, Stephan.

pastis, “stirred. that way my brains get scrambled and i can think up more puns!”

Curious – in my local paper they published a strip dated 3/22 in which Rat explains how telephone with cords worked to some teenagers. “How do you drive around with them” they asked?

I always get satisfaction from these strips!

xxx

I hear the Quantim of Solace faction table is a bit oily

i like the puns. he’s welcome to dinner at our house. this is the kind of joke my dad loves. although i suspect, pastis may get satisfaction but he has trouble getting laid.

Add me as one who loves the puns! I actually laughed out loud at this one.

No more puns! noooo moooore puns!

I can’t get no satisfaction from Cartoon Boy when he blends Bond, the Rolling Stones, and puns! But he does get a beat-down from the whole cast of the ‘toon, Pig, Goat, and Rat. So it is sort of Bond-ian and satisfying in that respect.[The link is to a 1969 Age of Love concert, with a cameo by Janis Joplin. Now, that’s Satisfaction!]

His puns are brilliant! And the comments from everybody are brilliant!

I wonder if you can get “Live And Let PIE” for dessert at that James Bond restaurant? ;-D

one hopes. there are those who like puns, obviously, me included. i just couldn’t resist the joke.

One more thing, is this the Stones version or that of Devo?

Horrible pun! Thankyou! :D

@jmarkoff2 i agree. What i like about these pun strips is that they sometimes use quotes im not aware of, so i kill more time googling them.

If Rat wants to make a Pastis Martini, then we know it’s shaken, not stirred
