Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 25, 2015

Where are Legolas and Ernie when their Brethren needs them?

Does this mean no more Rice Krispies?

Who stores elves?

That’s what happened to the Kringles when the Bergermeister Meisterberger first came to power.

Inhumane either way. Why do we need a storage place for people to lock away themselves?!?

A local Self Storage place blocks out the ‘S’ during the holiday season; has done so for years.

The elves deserve it after what they did to my gift last Christmas . . .

It’s in Santa’s Village….

STIUPID PIG…you found santas secret sweat shop…

Another missing-letter sign of the moment…. There are promos for the MOMA retrospective of the art of Yoko Ono that feature a photo of the museum, altered so that there seems to be a large cutout space in museum’s sign. Like this: MUSEUM OF MODERN __ART. On the sidewalk, Yoko is walking by carrying a huge letter F. (This is one we won’t be seeing on “Sesame Street”.)

Pastis put mouths on the elves !

Anybody ever call up one of those places and ask how much they charge to store yourself????Just me, then? ;-)

Oh how I wish I had taken a picture of this – There used to be a “Discount Bible” store not too far from my home. During the day, we could read the painted sign in full. But at night, the neon wasn’t working in a few letters, and so we would see DISCO         BIBLE I really wish I had taken a picture!

@Sherlock – no, that’s just what they eat. We’re screwed on the tollhouse cookies.

Poor elves

This reminds me of the time when I was walking past a Suntrust Bank at night and noticed that the “S” was burned out. Not a good sign.

Keebler recruiting office.

Reminds me of an early David Letterman Top 10 List. I remember that some of the entries included “Santa threw the bodies out on the tundra to rot,” “Santa’s Union Busting Goons,” and something about Santa’s X-Rated movie, “The North Poled.” Hilarious stuff!

Can it be inhumane if they aren’t human? shouldn’t it be inelfane or something?

At the end of the work day at McDonald’s, I noticed the pegboard sign, “NOW HIRING ALL SHIFTS.” I took out the F from “shifts” and scrunched the letters back together. One of the supervisors looked at the sign and said, “I have been hiring them all.”

Today’s strip is a little short on humor…

As this probably the top comic for wordplay jokes, it’s a good place to tell this. I just watched a rather silly English-dubbed Kung Fu movie, in which it seemed like the voice actors were having some fun. One of the heroes has just defeated four fighters and he says “So, you’re the Four Kings, huh? Well, you’re no Four-King good!” A joke that would seemingly only work in English…

I suppose Rat wasn’t to know.

Or was he?

xxx

Rat is making an ‘S’ of himself,there is not a ‘s’ missing. Peace. :)

Don’t be sorry, Pig.FREE THE ELVES! JUSTICE FOR ELVES!Elves alive or Cartoon-Boy Must Undie!

omg! pig was right about something. (sigh) it doesn’t count, we’re the only ones who know

years ago there was a place called butch’s discount appliance. i kept meaning to take a picture and juxtapose it with a picture of a ….you know, i don’t think i’ll write that part down

Hey ……. good elf is hard to find.

Yes, and the concentration camps for Japanese Americans were just relocation areas for their protection.

It’s done for reasons of elfin safety.

Here in Hartford CT, we had a large self storage place that had a dead ‘S’ in the big lit-up sign by the highway.

are elves and gnomes interchangeable?

what would the Elf and Safety people say? !!!

They should locked up. No one ever said elves were nice. Elves are bad.
