Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 11, 2019

I am Rat, millionaire; I own a mansion and a yacht.

Would the puppy be sentient?

Mmm Pizza

in order to get ten mill, you’d have to win “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” under ten different aliases

What about tomorrow, Pig. You’ll want a pizza then, too. Better go with the millions.

Once you have a mansion, a vacation house, and a fleet of cars, You will need five million per year to maintain them. And what about that yacht?

I like the way you think, Pig. Be sure to save me a slice.

I know from observation of an acquaintance that fifty million a year (really!) is not enough to make some people happy. Just paranoid.

You should not be feeding a puppy pizza

I would want to be wealthy enough to put the “National Enquirer” out of business.

Now THERE’S a worthy endeavor, Jesy…and I’m not being sarcastic. I mean it….after ’em!!

Rat brings the “filthy” into lucre.

For a moment, I thought Pig was asking if he could get extra pizza money, in trade for his puppy!

But no, this is Pig we’re talking about….

not Rat.

Being Happy is an inside job ;-) …… Croc Power !

If I were to have the money for every time I wanted a pizza, it would have to be a million dollars.

And pepperoni! Don’t forget the pepperoni!

That is for one day.

Ewwwwww. Puppy pizza. That’s sick.

Seeing as you guys are sitting @ the Abyss, what happens when your wish is denied? Hope the Crocs are down there!

It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. And if the journey requires abandoning centered relationships, happiness may be elusive.

I’d be cool with that……if the pizza was delivered in a 14K box and the couch was in a hut on Parrot Cay.

How much money is necessary to give to Stephan to make him happy enough to write at least one REALLY humorous strip every THREE DAYS for the next 5 years?

According to a study done a few years back, $75K is the magic number

I’ll see your couch and pizza and raise you a small greenhouse and a kick-ass stereo.

NO PINEAPPLE on a pizza. It’s an abomination and an affront to all of those Neapolitan’s who gave the world pizza. No, deep dish pizza is not a pizza. Don’t even try.

Is there bacon on his pizza?

Rat is definitely right on this one. You could trade the mansion for a lifetime supply of pizza and beer.

What kind of pizza?

Not during this administration.

The other option would be “sapient” which would be very scary.

We all love Pig♡♡♡

I’ve got a mangy old tomcat you can have for free.

Rat just wants dough, either green or crusty!

Now, don’t be greedy, Pig You don’t want to end up like Rat, do you? Besides, I think you are not ready to care for a puppy 24/7….

Ooh, ooh, can I get enough for a ’57 Dodge Custom Royal?

10 million would barely just get the fleet of cars that I would get.

I think I’ll run for a political office. My campaign slogan: A Puppy and a Pizza in every house.

It is hard to not like pig. He is so sweet

Is a tv included with the couch?

They’re talking about this while they’re sitting on the edge of a cliff. XD
