Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 28, 2021

Stephan walks warily down the street…

Then there was Weird Al’s parody called ‘Another One Rides the Bus’.

I could picture Rat singing ‘I will, I will rock you’ as he is beating the tar out of Stephan.

Pastis’s disappearance, smoke and mirrors.

Not the most complicated, but I guess it meets the bar for a Sunday pun.

The ghost of Freddy Mercury is after Pastis.

“Are you ready hey are you ready for this?Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?”

hey! he’s gonna hit you too!

Pig can be such a Queen.

I could tell from the first panel that there was a pun coming, so I put my hand over the last two panels to see if I could guess what it was. I couldn’t.

At least he didn’t attempt “Bohemian Rhapsody”.

I could sense a pun coming. I wanded to know how he would use those magicians tools.

I thought of requesting help assistance: “Help help me Wanda.”

I did not expect to see any wan dead.

Any tape left in Crowley’s car turns into this.

This goes well with a new book I’ve been reading: Wand Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

On our Red Cross CPR training, we were taught to perform chest compressions timed to the beat of the BeeGee’s “Staying Alive” – or – Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust.”

I guess it depends upon whether you’re an optimist or a pessimist . . .

The magic just left, Pig!

Pig did you check with Mr. Ollivander ’ s Wands ?

Sigh

You’ve just ruined my favorite Queen song.

Well. Steph was Queen for a day.

Eh?

You’re in the presence of and talking to a pig and a goat, officer.

Yay for pun strips!

He’ll never learn.

I think they were taken by a transgender named Lola. Because, as we all know, Whatever Lola wands, Lola gets. La-la-la-la Lola.

Dear, Mrs. Patis, we would like to offer our deepest sympathies for the life you live with him.

Oh God, we just KNEW something like this was coming from just the first panel…

Poor Freddy is spinning in his grave…=~{

Thanks, now he,s working on it.

As soon as I saw the first panel, I knew that a pun was coming. I love it!

Pastis is the hardest working punster in the business.

This one was painful, long and painful

Yes. but just like Arnold Schwarzenegger. “HE’LL BE BACK”……

Lighten up, Rat! Let Stephan do what he does best!

Okay; Freddie Mercury turned in his grave for this one.

My pun-o-meter starting blaring after reading panel one so I jumped to the last two just to shut if off!

A new low point!

Another great one, Stephan. Thank you, and keep ’em coming, please.

Queen’s is way better. And some of them are nunchucks.

Oh god I do not get it.

Wow. I think Stephen’s intellect is a little scary . . . :(

Freddie’s going to be pissed.

“We will rock you!”…with a real rock!

You’re pushing it on this one Pastis.

Challenge accepted!!!

Love these strip with the self-deprecating humor….

Good song!

Ork

This Is Beyond the Pale — LOLOL

Well done, Rat! You are this league’s batting champion against the Cartoon-Boys, of whom Another One Bites the Dust! BAM! And Another One Bites the Dust! BAM!

Making all Cartoon-Boys pay for the Pastis Puns is like playing Whack-a-Mole!

On behalf of PBS readers, I apologize to Queen….

i love these!

Dolly Parton sings a great song called “Ireland’s Industry”

I too end all my work reports with a paragraph that talks about how lousy my reports are.

He failed to win the Indianapolis 500—-or “Another engine bites the dust”.

Stephan, bet you can’t come up with a pun that ends with “We are the champ Leons”

The cop later found the pair who did it doing more vandalism and said “hey, gonna get you two, another wands by the dust.”
