Knit One…

Cidu Bill on Dec 7th 2009

Nor really synchronicity, of course, but several people pointed out that we got a double dose of awful Pearls Before Swine puns yesterday

Those Who Cannot Remember the Pastis…

Cidu Bill on Jul 14th 2009

Obviously a reference to former attorney Stephan Pastis, who draws the Pearls Before Swine strip; but is there an actual gag here, or just a gratuitous shout-out?

Rhys: I work in publishing, and I have no idea what a “brad” is. I’ve also consulted two dictionaries and google. Please tell me I’m not the only clueless one! If he’d written “Brads” rather than “brads,” I’d have guessed he meant the author could recycle the character’s name so the manuscript wouldn’t be a complete loss. Since he did not, I’m as stumped as Rhys (while also, in fact, working in publishing) -Bill

Pearls Before Spine

Cidu Bill on Mar 25th 2009

Is PBS in reruns this week? Because the hedgehog-throwing incident took place in February of 2008, and I can’t believe it took Pastis more than a year to come up with this gag.
