No, Pig, it’s when you cook a tiger in a pot of boiling water and then serve it on an English muffin with some ham.

Slice Tiger was the name of a restaurant near here once. Can’t remember what the proprietor told me was the significance to his culture…..?

I prefer coddled eggs. “Nice egg, such a nice little egg.”

Normally Goat’s question in the second panel would be the height of arrogance, since nobody asked. In Pig’s case, it’s a perfectly safe assumption.

good point. in hebrew baitzim is the word for eggs, in slang the word for that part of the male anatomy. i take it this is not unique to hebrew. poached tiger “eggs” benedict yum!

Channeling his inner Charlie Sheen?As to the poaching epidemic, the same can be said about elephant and rhino. At the current rate of poaching, the rhino will be extinct. Some estimate that might be within 10-15 years.

Goat can be such a condescending twit sometimes. If I didn’t and cared what tiger poaching was, I probably would have asked you self important boob.

Reminds me of an old MAD Magazine article of poachers and pitchers. Wish I could find it online.

Not entirely true, he’s much brighter than Larry and the Eata Eata Zeeba crocs, most of the other crocs that have appeared are smarter than pig and humiliated to be associated with Larry and the fraternity. Especially Patty and Junior.
