Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 02, 2021

Maybe they would change their mind if you gave them some deniro.

The next day, Pig woke up to find an overpriced cup of coffee in his bed. The shock left him hoarse.

Unfair, Pig! Pastis is the one who should be banned!

If pig keeps it up, he’s likely to be capped by the current godfather.

Never watched The Godfather myself. The joke thereof and of coffee Pig just came up with never crossed my mind. I applaud you, Pastis.

Eunice had Pig banned for his mockin at Eu, then alleging threatening to to stalk her with his “see ya latte”

You need to work on how you espresso yourself.

Good riddance, Pig. Pun haters are no fun anyway.

And not a moment too soon.

Latte duh!

Pig channeling his inner Pastis!

Uh, just wondering. Has anyone heard of the brothers Hugo and Argo?

It’s like that Dolly Parton song about a bisexual triangle wherein her rival seems to be David Lean’s brother Joe?

No coffee for you!

“I’m in the dark here! I’m in the dark here! I didn’t order back coffee, I ordered a white chocolate latte!”

Oh for “PEET’S” sake, why “DRIP” a pun like this? ;D

She took a stand!

Rat could apologize, but it would probably be too little too latte.

This cafe doesn’t deserve the privilege of having you visit their establishment.

So Pig you were “Ubanned”!!

Al’s bro sounds like he’d fit right in to The Family, as a hitman.

Adept at busting a cap now & then.

Banned Pig sounds like a restaurant menu item .

My daughter-in-law is named Tran. The potential pun possibilities are plentiful; but the peril of probable reprisal prevent my personal participation.

This joke is a Tessio of our patience.

It hurts so good. ROFL

The Cino family was not amused. One of their capos dropped in to communicate the family’s displeasure.

After all that work, too. Some people, you just cain’t reach.

OH but… Why, silly Pig?

Shouldn’t they be going back to Stephan and blaming him?

I love this one .

Stephan.. oh Stephan.

Are Rat and Pig the only ones still using a CRT TV? Even Earl and Opal Pickles finally gave theirs up.

Pork cupine.

Lucky she didn’t have a scalding reply.

cappaccino.. makes me think of things like zucchini instead of coffee; and that is not something I would like to have in my cup

Well, it was either ban him of give him a stage. They didn’t have space for the stage.

Really BAD comments. Laughed my a** off.

Rat is thinking, been there done that, join the club

Bada Bing Bada Bang! She banned me before I could grab a cannoli…

Bad puns will get one banned from many places, at least unofficially.

I’m so old I thought the pun was going to be some Li’l Abner reference.

Hot drip.

The only Italian word I know is “tall.”

So Stephs’ actions are now backfiring on all of the other characters. Sad.

Pig, that’s Steve’s job.

Rightfully so…..

No more puns.

Puns are terrible, and awesome, in this strip.

Steph should be the one banned.

Even the barista at the coffee shop doesn’t like bad puns.

I guess Pig made her an offer that she could refuse.

I want mine black, and I’ll never go back!

I have to admit, I chuckled a little but not a latte…

Stephan does your barista know you write this column? Is he/she a good friend and will they understand a slightly twisted view of the world? I once had this in San Francisco while driving The Great Highway. I saw everything upside down but still drove fine, which I thought strange at the time. Of course I was in college, had a psychology class, severe Mono, saw only the beginning of 2001: A space Odyssey before falling asleep the night before. But it helps me get thru life, as I know it.

Maybe should be banned from this website?

No sense of humour some people!!!

Some people just can’t appreciate a good pun.

I think Pig and Rat reversed roles today!

Words cannot espresso his feelings.

As has Pastis, no doubt.

That was a bad one. But again Pastis is okay being silly.

The ban is totally justified.

i don’t get the joke pig

Pig is lucky they haven’t released the dogs.

Serves you right, Pig! Fronting for that Cartoon-Boy that way, punning publicly! It’s a No Pun Pub!

Pastis needs to borrow Rat’s baseball bat and teach Pig to leave his puns alone.

He’s got a little friend!

Poor Pig! I thought that was pretty clever. My baristas would have loved this!

Cap d’Antibes is a distant cousin.
