Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 16, 2012

He meant, cowboy hat, not 8 milk cartons

Might be a good idea, Goat.

Nice jugs…..(sorry, I’ll go away now)

Anyone else think of “Blazing Saddles” when goat said ten-gallon hat?

Ten-Gallon hat + Pig = Eleven gallons of empty space.

A western theme party? Now thats an Idea. I’d go, provided they served sasperalla.

I haven’t laughed that hard at a comic in six months. And I’m sure it was another Pearls comic then

…sarsaparilla…

It’s Seamus McFly without the brains.

Wait till you see his maple stirrups!

What happened to the ten gallons of milk?Did Pig just drink it all?! (groan) I guess I’m a little surprised that even Pig doesn’t understand the references to “wild west” theme and “ten-gallon hat.”

This a is more obvious humor attempt than we usually see here.

Check the expiration date Pig.

“I got a ten gallon hat marked down for fifteen!”

In Europe it would be an 37.8541 Liter Hat. So glad we don’t do the metric system here!

Of course, if Goat had actually told Pig to wear a “bowler”, he would have probably showed up with some fat guy on his head.

at least we didn’t have the self-idolizing dirtball smoker in the last panel again. count your blessings.

Pig is going quarting?

Ah, Pig, the creature with the ability to make dirt seem intelligent.

Next time you meet someone wearing one, you should let them know what you think.

good thing Goat didn’t ask about chaps

This gag isn’t fresh. Or even Grade A.

Still wanna see more Crocs!

Awwwwww! Brilliant strip…

Yes, Goat.

Wisest option.

I love PBS!! No someone please stop my incessant laughter, eh?

I don’t see any ‘gallons’ on goat’s hat band……………

How does his saddlehorn sound?

Pig could still go as a city-slicker-wearing-a-bowler-hat if he ditched the milk. He could even wear a milk moustache.

he’s a quart low

LARRY IN WONDERLANNND

Goat could take Pig along, minus the hat. He tried to comply.

I may be crazy, but should it not be a picture of goat in frame 2 and on the right in frame 3, according to the word balloons, locally spoken versus the remote speaker using the zig zag word balloons?.

Are those bottles full?

rhtatro — Um…that IS Goat exactly where you say he should be.Pig is in panel one, with Goat speaking to him via zig-zag balloons (which represent a voice emanating from speakers).Goat is “live” in panel two, while Pig is the one whose voice comes from speakers;And they’re both there in Panel three, with Goat speaking locally.

Does goat have a pig nose? I thought he had horns also, but I don’t follow this each day…..I may be wrong….or crazy!

Sometimes I pity that poor pig. Check that—MOST of the time.

@Vonne AntonHa!

Just don’t ask him to bring along his chaps…

…or his six-shooter…

…or his quarterhorse.

And don’t tell him you want to “dicker” with him…

…or he might just get all “balled up.”

Geez! It’s 2 a.m. here and I’m LOL!

admit it – you counted them.

I’m a swede, and ok, I do get the joke, but I must be missing some kid of cultural reference. What the heck is “ten gallon hat” referring to?
