Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 31, 2018

Is there a tv in front of the couch?

Or maybe lose some weight.

Too bad Rat couldn’t ask Stephen Hawking; poor chap died a few weeks ago.

The day the Ham Hole was discovered.

The lower prices at a discount furniture store will help cushion the blow of spending a lot of money – spring for it!

It is the return to the womb of the modern day male. Especially, after a holiday dinner, the pull strong wherein they succumb for hours longer than the meal itself.

One or two primordial black holes smaller than atoms pass unnoticed through the planet each day, according to a new theory.

Astronomers have supported the existence of black holes for decades, but in recent years a dispute has arisen. In the mean time, Pig needs a new couch…or to lose weight.

Our black hole is an ancient IKEA thing. And if you want to learn about them, I recommend DeGrasse Tyson’s “Astrophysics For People In A Hurry.”

I had a black hole once, but it ran away all the time.

Even the fact that time slows as one approaches a black hole supports the conjecture that the couch is a black hole.

“Black hole!” Does anyone here know what that means in Russian?

Pig has discovered the Hoggs Boson.

At least it’s not a carnivorous book store couch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHgGdRSM9gk

That’s my mattress right now….

That’s not a black hole; it’s a potato patch!

The logic in today’s strip is impeccable. Not so for Pig’s avoirdupois or the house couch.

Shopping Spree!

I thought Matthew McConaughey had escaped from a black hole. . . .
