Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 14, 2015
Transcript:
Goat: Rat. I'd like you to meet my pal from England. Rat: How do you know Goat? Guy: He's been me mate since we were young lads. Goat: And he loves the food here at our diner, so he asked me to take him here. Guy: Mountain dew and a plate of mutton. But it has to be from a female sheep. It tastes better. Goat; You might have mentioned to me that you like the female mutton, but you really like that soft drink, too? Guy: Love, love me dew. You know I love ewe. Rat: Got to get you out of my life.
This is just A Day in the Life for Stephan, another Hard Day’s Night of trying to come up with a new pun Eight Days A Week. Every Little Thing he does is another attempt at Fixing A Hole in his Magical Mystery Tour of humour. So often it’s a Long And Winding Road from the setup to the punchline, but There’s A Place for this kind of humour. So How Come Stehpan does it? For the Money (That’s What [He] Wants). When Rat says: “I Don’t Want To See You Again”, it’s time to tell him to Run For Your Life and he’d better hope that Rat doesn’t learn that Happiness Is A Warm Gun. Sometimes, Stephan’s puns make me Glad All Over, but other time it’s All Too Much for me to take. Maybe he shoulda been a Paperback Writer instead. At this point, looks like he’ll be Free As A Bird.
