Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 17, 2020

You’re a jerk because you’re suppose to do that kind of work during the day.

Do not feel bad, Stephan. You’re half right.

(Okay, that was old when I was in school six decades ago.)

If he builds a racket like that every night he could be the official supplier of the Titans of Greek mythology .

Check his hair for nits.

…or a four-letter word that rhymes with wit. ;-)

You left out the modifier “nit”

PASTIS, a racketeer of running a racket of bad puns.

I wonder if Pastis is moonlighting for those insurance ads such as the one where the couple likes their new house but they have Aunts, etc. They’re really REALLY bad…

He shouldn’t be making a racket at night.

That isn’t where the net profit is.

It takes a lot of b@lls to handle that guy.

I’d like to make a racket every night but I don’t have the guts for it.

“Dad jokes”? More like dead jokes.

wow, with a racket that big he must be really strung out…

Pig’s neighbor is a racketeer?

Quick call the" Racket Squad!"

Actually, he may be the father of several wits: Nit, Dim, and Half.

And exactly who does he sell them to? Racketeers?

Really inconsiderate of Stephan to do this during a pundemic.

OMG! 2020! And now this! Can it get any worse!

There are no coincidences.

Well, come trump, Pandemic, Disputed Elections, and all the OTHER disasters in 2020, we can ALWAYS be assured that Pastis will be living down to his usual standards of lousy puns…which everyone secretly likes!

(Come on… admit it…you really DO like it when he fires off a real groaner!)

They’re called ‘Dad Jokes’, because Mom won’t let us repeat the jokes we hear at the club.

This will all mesh together one day…..

I sometimes tell “dad jokes,” even though I’m not a father.

I guess that makes me a faux pa.

That’s older than prehistory.

Dad Jokes are the best they are timeless and never go out of style

On a random and unimportant side note, Goat always has that teabag tag hanging out of his cup. I’m more a coffee than a tea drinker, but when I do make tea, I leave the bag in for five minutes and then throw it away. Either we always see Goat while his tea is still steeping, or he leaves the bag in there while he drinks it. But maybe Pastis wants to make it clear that it’s not coffee.

I’d like to add-in that I love this.

Thats a Huge Racket

An Official Dad Joke

Why can’t pirates recite the alphabet?

They get lost at C.

Pastis is just a faux Pa.

From this joke I think Pastis must have a step child.

For this great-grandfather hopeful too. And, I suspect Pig knows where the racket’s string came from, back in the day.

“I am the Father of Wit.” Well, you’re half-right.

That’s funny if you have that kind of humor sense.

Someone needs to give Stephan the paddle.

I. Love. puns.

Boss tweed and guard Duck would wreck a big spankah

For shame, Pastis, for shame.

He’s definitely using the right tools for the job there.

Visual puns are a dad’s last resort…

More like witLESS!

Oh … wit is a good deal older than that. :-)

Lock up Pastis. Send him to the punetentury.

Goat the fact you still fall for this speaks poorly of you.

Anybody have Rat’s cell phone number? Call him and tell him to take his mallet with him to go see Mr. Pastis!

The neighbor is now known as Tennis the Menace.

I call them something that rhymes with Dad.

‘…papa of puns…’

NIT wit you mean.

I laughed harder at the father of wit part…

Last panel should read dud jokes.

I think the Angry Villagers with Torches and Pitchforks Association, Ltd., should beat the Father of Wit over the head with a huge racket until he begs forgiveness for his elderly puns!
