Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 29, 2019

Two retainers or 2 teeth?

Maybe you should just bend over Pig……….

Pig has another retainer, but his neighbors up on the hill might not be happy if he removes that wall.

What good will a lawyer do with the Moss Cow?

When was Pig an orthodontist patient and how did he even get the coverage?

If you want to be Pig’s mouthpiece take the retainer.

Why’d ya need a lawyer, Pig? Did someone swinedle you?

Don’t worry, folks. I won’t hog all the puns today.

Should of used Rat……Croc Power !

I wish I could pay my attorney like that.

PIG is sooo clueless…..wait til he realizes he needs money to retain a lawyer…I feel another HISSY FIT coming on….

They want a retainer so they can ignore you for weeks on end while they get retainers from others and so on and so on. Eventually, they hope you go away and give another lawyer a retainer.

Tomorrow, Pig visits his haberdasher, who advises him to get braces.

Welcome, Pig, to the law firm of Wewill, Stickum and Howe!

That’ll about be what he’ll have left, i.e., just the one retainer, the second retainer keeping all his worldly goods together in greedy lawyer’s wallet.

That’s probably the only kind of retainer Pig will ever be able to get.

What does Pig need a lawyer for exactly?

A brief meeting.

Time to give him the brush off.

Why is the lawyer drawn with no mouth? That seems counterintuitive. Not being argumentative, just curious.

Just give me an arm. We’ll take the leg later.

And a prime candidate for retainer of prune juice

Why? None of the characters in this strip have mouths.

Saw that coming a mile away.

I’m going to get a Cease and Desist order, Stephan.

Does Pig even have teeth?

Pig needs a lot of help, not just a lawyer. I think he needs most of all a Personal Assistant/Life Coach to help him cope….
