Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 19, 2015

This was an issue even when Romulus and Remus were suckling at a wolf’s teat, Pig.

That she-wolf had better things to do with her teats………

Back to the drawing board?………….Did Goat say that it was the Croc Construction Company……Those guys always have trouble getting it right !

Seriously, look at the Colosseum. Does that thing look finished to you? Get back to work, guys!

It was destroyed in a day though. Fiddling around, fiddling around.

I can see him now, Pig, Regius Professor of Ancient History at Oxford….That’s mordant irony.

and they say, that he was doing a jig, as he played the fiddle, that must have been a sight.

At least Goat has learned to ask Pig if he knows the idiom.

Goat is pretty condescending, “Oh I’m sorry pig do you know what that means?” I’m going to start rooting for the crocs.

I didn’t know these guys lived in Seattle. If there was ever a place where nothing gets done because the City Council talks things to death, that’s it. It’s even called “the Seattle Process” locally, sometimes jokingly.

It seems completely random if Stephan decides to make his characters respond calmly or with shouting. Here, I think it would have been more Pig-like if Pig had just stated the final line (more of a reflection) than yelling it out.

If you’re that upset about it, Pig, then get in your car and go do something about it. No need for a map or GPS — all roads lead to Rome.

Got to love that dumb Pig!

They should see all the construction areas in my neck of the woods.
