Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 01, 2020

I bet there’s an Applebee’s in that mall.

Drive the Weinermobile;Cure bacon …

there are places on my bucket list too, but I’d like to do it with a little help from my brother’s flight attendant wife (OR if I date and marry a flight attendant as well)

A bucket factory…

At least it might not be over-run by other tourists.

Grandma’s house? Watch out for the big bad wolf.

Pio’s Granny is the Mall Greeter: " Hi, there! Welcome to Hawg Mawl!"

Make sure you stop in to see your grandma when you go ! … Croc Power !

Oscar Meyer’s on that list?

Like New Yorkers who never get around to the Statue of Liberty, Pig still hasn’t gotten to that mall!

I like how Pig manages to get ink smudges on his head and face while writing.

Pearls reference on today’s Frog Applause, if anyone is interested.

small bucket! My bucket has holes in it and stuff leaks out.

And…, too late. Amazon just bought the mall… Better luck in the next life…

That mall is more likely to die before he does.

And you’ll get to see grandma! Win, win.

I’m 56 and I’ve never left the Northern Hemisphere. My travel plans for this year still won’t get me to the Southern Hemisphere, but, lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise, 2021 is going to see me and the gf in Lima, Peru. Why Lima? It’s only an 8 hour flight and gets me far enough south to see the southern constellations that I’ve never seen before.

Reach higher, reach further Pig. Please.

Why does it seem like Pig always writes with charcoal??

Are those ink stains or eyebrow musings?

I’d like to go visit the home of a celebrity. Preferably a very sexy young lady.

I just wish I could go to Grandma’s house again. Either grandma. (Ok, technically I can, because my sister lives in one of them now, but you know what I mean.)

When all else fails, lower your expectations.

A bucket list nowadays needs to list those natural places you want to see before they die.

Looks like he forgot about Pigita….what about a visit to Pigita, Pig?

Pig knows how to make it real !!!! lol

Better get to that Mall before it shuts down forever

Candy Hearts, now available. But, still a wait for those now teensy Cadbury eggs.

His granny must live in my hometown, the place where malls come to die. Even when malls were popular, they couldn’t survive my city.

These characters sure put a lot of pen to paper…

Keep reaching for the sta….I mean the Orange Julius.

I’d like to see New Zealand, but I don’t think it’s within reach.

Surprised it’s not every Applebee’s in Canada or some other country where there might be an Applebee’s. Oughta check and see if they are international.

I scratched “sail a small boat around Cape Horn” off my list when I turned seventy. Now I’m just hoping I’m fit enough to go for a long car ride when I can afford to. (Never been to the American southwest.)

For those interested, there are several large sailing yachts based in Tierra del Fuego that take tourists on two week trips around the cape. Not cheap but not overly pricey, either. They run 60 to 70 feet in length and tell you what sort of clothing to bring with you — wool, wool, more wool.

Now that he’s visited all the Applebee’s, it’s time to visit all the Chili’s!

Pig has been very active in fulfilling his Bucket List. Today, he made a guest appearance in Froglandia, where he suffered verbal abuse but maintained his composure (see Frog Applause).

Did you get royalties, Cartoon-Boy?

I have to wonder, if Pig, and Charlie Brown learned to use a pen, at the same place. It seems that neither can write, without ending up with more ink on themselves, than on the paper!

He went to every Applebee’s and the mall by grandma’s house is still just a wish?
