Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 15, 2020

Why not text him a coupon?

At least he’s practicing safe squeeze.

He sanitizes it and then picks it up again. That’s our Pig.

If he’s going to sanitize it, he should leave it in the grass for the other person to pick up. Otherwise if he sanitizes it every time he touches it, that will cause an infinite loop.

From which pocket did Pig get the ticket and bottle?

Neighbor Bob might wrap you in a blanket, Pig. :-)

It’s gonna be an awkward hug, as he can’t reach any higher than that guy’s waist.

Eh. We deal with cash and we never sanitise it.

A hug from a pig doesn’t sound like something I’d want.

Can’t be too safe, huh Pig? Bythe way, where are your masks?

Your coupon smells like bacon!

Neighbour Bob doesn’t look like a hug(e) fan!

His heart is in the right place.

Pig’s box from prior stripe wi become single occupancy only.

I hope that coupon does not have an expression date because this is not going to be over any time soon. Too many people are making use of this whole Covid thing for their own personal gain to allow it to be over any time soon.

Pig hate to tell you this but not all people like hugs even before C-19 ;-( …. Croc Power !

Pig, please email me a coupon. I could use a hug.

Make sure it doesn’t dissolve.

Awww! Poor PIG! He means well….

Can pig’s carry Coronavirus?

For me, this subject is losing what humor it may have had! ;o{

No masks?

Is there a happy ending?

Sanity and sanitization don’t appear to be sane or sanitary any more.

I’m not sure that being hugged by a pig would be all that comforting.

I wish Pig was my next door neighbor.

Neighbor Bob is lucky that Pig came to visit.

Rat would sanitize the coupon with napalm and a flame-thrower.

There is so much in Pig to like but his decency just keeps rising to the top.

The fine print legalese is all runny. Who reads that anyway.

Foosh.

And then picked it up! True Pig.

he should check into a mental hospital. or better yet, just shoot himself.

Actually, the only good thing about the pandemic – is no hugs! (Those of us with British, Norwegian, and German heritage abhor meaningless physical gestures of affection)

we can see the day when that IOU will be cashed!

You are so thoughtful Pig!

Pig is being very thoughtful (though the ink on his coupon may run or fade from the drenching in sanitizer).

Consider youreself served, Neighbor Bob….
