Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 23, 2015

Pig is having great dates?

I don’t speak Spanish but I’m pretty sure I understand the sentiments expressed in the 4th panel. LOL

Pedro se habla la verdad.

Pedro se habla la verdad.

I had a great date once, 6-20-64. I graduated from high school on that date. It’s been all downhill ever since.

I thought it was uno momento.

Google Translate says Pedro told Steph “You are an idiot”, but in this case, Google Translate may not have been necessary.

El inglés no debe see el primer idiom de Pedro, sino su segundo (English must not be Pedro’s first language, but rather his second).

Hey, he’s got no political experience and he doesn’t care who he insults. Vote for Pedro!

You tell him, Pedro. We’ve been trying to get through to Cartoon-Boy for ages in English!

Wait! We went from Mentos to voting? These comments make my head spin!

Press 1 for EnglishPress 2 for SpanishPress 3 for gibberish Mash 4 for Southern( I can say that ‘cause I’m southern)

Great dates? Well, it is the Fresh-maker!

what kind of a phone is Pig holding? it’s so small

See? There is such a thing as a universal language…

un autre en Francais SVP?

you could have shortened it to say tu idiota.

That’s our Toon Boy, Livin’ La Vida Idiota!

Wouldn’t the fourth panel say “Tu eres un pendejo”?

Such artistry!

I have a mental image of what that mento meant to pig.

allan sherman-“0n my feet i have 10 toes. they’re not lady toes, they’re mentos, and i keep them as mementoes and love them tenderly”

Poor Stephan. He’s now being insulted in a different language.

xxx

If there’s a lady out there who dates a pig and nobody else, would that be called mahogany?

It reads even better in Spanish:

I mite mention that this unos memorable . . . ☻

Hah ha hah hah hah ha! Oh that’s so great.

I find this a rather momentous pun.

I don’t know the term given to this type of word play but I would suggest: Pastisms. . . ☻

i know some spanish and that means ‘you are an idiot’
