"I must say, you look terrible, Hagar!" says the doctor.
"I feel terrible, doctor!" says Hägar, and it's easy to see why. His face is bruised, his clothes are torn, his helmet is dented and he has an arrow sticking out of his chest.
"Hmmmmm" ponders the doctor. "Are you getting at least 8 hours of sleep nightly ?"
It's funny because you'd expect a doctor to be better at working out what is wrong with his patient and the injuries Hägar has sustained are quite obvious.

You see, mimes are generally not very high-profile entertainers and the members of the French Foreign Legion are posted in a remote desert, so it's not surprising.

Pearls Before Swine, 2013-09-12. |
It often seems like he thinks that if he acknowledges the problem then he doesn't actually have to do anything about it. "Oh, this strip wasn't funny? Well, I knew that, that's the joke. It was intentional!" But even if it was intentional, it still wasn't funny. "There is no joke" is not a joke. At least, not on its own.
When it first started, the comic was actually pretty good, and the self-deprecating strips were also funny because "I'm not funny" was part of the joke, not a substitute for one, but it seems like Pastis ran out of funny ideas and just resorted to reusing formulas that had worked in the past, but without the essential quality that made them funny.
This is a problem that seems to happen to a lot of comics, and the reason is pretty obvious. In any other medium you don't get to just keep going forever like this. TV shows end. Comics don't. And even established authors usually can't get anywhere with a new strip, they have to keep making the same one if they want to be paid.
But no premise is an unlimited source of material. Everything stops working eventually. Old comics need to end, even if the authors go on to make new ones. I'm sure Pastis is still funny, Pearls Before Swine is just tapped out.

If he's just hoping that his family will see the ads and show up, he's left out some important details. Like the location for a start. It doesn't specify his address or even his name, so they'd have no idea which Smif's house to turn up at. So it's obviously not for them.
Is it to warn the neighbours? Snuffy hates one of his neighbours and the other is his best friend whom he sees every day. There's not really any need for signs posted up everywhere. but I can't think of any other possibilities. Who are the signs for?

You see panel three there? Jamaal J. Jamaal. That's his name. The obvious question sprang to mind, and I thought it would be the work of moments to discover if the J did stand for Jamaal. But it turns out that information about Herb and Jamaal is somewhat hard to come by. Or at least it was.
You see, my first stop was Wikipedia. And it told me nothing. There was a Herb and Jamaal article, but it was a stub, with just a bit copied from the author bio on Creators Syndicate. So I searched on. Creators Syndicate had no character listing. GoComics had no character listing.
I scoured Google to try to find someone anywhere who knew the names of the characters. No one did. So I went back through the archives, finding references to each character I could, so that I could fill in some information on the Wikipedia page.
It's infuriatingly difficult. There are characters who show up again and again without anyone saying their names. I couldn't find a single instance of anyone calling Herb's son by name or talking about him in the third person. There's a guy who I thought was a blind priest who turned out to be neither blind nor a priest. And I still don't know his name. I found the names of the taxi driver and the postal worker though, neither of whom I even knew was a character before that.
So now I'm putting the call out. If you know anything about Herb and Jamaal, please add it to the Wikipedia page. Don't let this happen to me again!
Wizard of Id
"I hear the Huns are sending a man to the moon" says Rodney.
The Huns were a nomadic people who existed in the fourth and fifth centuries CE. Rodney is a medieval knight, probably from somewhere between the 12th and 15th centuries. Manned space flight first became possible around the middle of the 20th century. Hold up though, I bet all these anachronisms are going to lead somewhere. There's already a lot happening here and I can feel that this joke is going to have a pretty impressive pay-off.
"I want our space program cranked up immediately!" says the king.
There's never been any mention before of an Idiot space program, but presumably it's been happening quietly in the background.
Panel three takes us to a field. A man holding a purple flag with "ID" written on it is in a cannon.
"You want me to plant this where?" he asks.
"Just focus on your tuck and roll upon landing" says Rodney.
The first known cannon-like weapon was developed in China in the 12th century, but it was not in use in Europe until the 13th. This fits quite well with Rodney's time-line, except for the small detail of the nature of the projectile. The "human cannonball" did not appear until the 19th century.
And that's the joke.

Even for the rest of the family that's a pretty light meal. That looks like a pretty big pizza, maybe 18", but even so that's a meal for three people, not four. And again, one of those four is Dagwood. He'd eat that whole pizza by himself. And two of the others are teenagers. As Zits never fails to inform us, teenagers eat a lot.
Plus, I think it's fairly safe to say that Dagwood is the sort of man who would definitely prefer to order too much pizza so that he can get some out of the fridge for breakfast. Honestly, I can't see the Bumsteads ordering fewer than three pizzas for dinner. This scenario is just preposterous.

The possibility of speaking to this stranger doesn't even occur. She is merely part of the outside world which they can comment on but not interact with.

Secondly, fish don't have souls and therefore don't go to heaven at all. So even if angels were dead people there would still be no fish-angels in heaven.
Thirdly, if fish had souls and angels were the souls of the dead, then dead fish would be fish-angels, not angelfish, because it's the last part of the name that is most important. An angelfish is a fish with angel-like properties, a fish-angel is an angel with fish-like properties. An angel that used to be an angelfish would be an angelfish-angel.

Herb and Jamaal
Herb is being given a citation by a police officer for violating the city's air pollution law. You see, Euler is so old that her cake has a very large number of candles on it, and because Herb hates her he has substituted the candles for some things that give off a thick black smoke when burned, and it is this that has caused the police officer to become involved. Euler seems oblivious to this though and actually seems to appreciate the cake, despite the noxious fumes.
