Transcript:
Pig: My girlfriend Pigita broke up with me. Now I'm gonna be lonely forever. Goat: Ohh, Pig... there are plenty of fish in the sea. Pig: It's not the same.
cheer up, pig…being a lone wolf the rest of your life isn’t too bad. you only have t pay for one in the restaurants, you don’t have to try and impress anyone and you can have all the “me” time you want.
Girlfriends are always trying to change their man. She’ll keep trying to make Pig into a gill-bearing aquatic craniate with ambient body temperature and digit-less fins. But that’s not who Pig is. He won’t like the nagging, won’t change, and eventually cut bait and leave.
Benny Hill skit: The battleaxe wife says, “You can go ahead and leave, there are plenty more fish in the sea!” The husband replies: “Yeah, but your bait ain’t what it was!” She replies: “And your pier has collapsed!”
Pig, you are much better off without that Pigita! And a fish isn’t all that bad a friend, albeit a bit cold….Un-die Sweet Fanny, Pastis! —Pig’s only true love!

Trust me, Pig — the fish would make a far better girlfriend than Pigita ever did!

It IS the same…but different.

That is NOT what Goat meant, Pig. Pastis should probably have drawn Goat’s eyes shut in the last panel.

A pig needs a fish like a girl needs a bicycle.

Pig needs to remember what Tom, the oldest Clancy Brother, said: “Never run after a woman or a bus, another one will come along!”
