Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 03, 2021

So Pig is invaluable.

Pig is a good guy.

It’s a simple matter, really; just go to a store that sells nets and see what they’re worth.

Pig’s net worth in bacon is about $5 per pound.

I’m worth several dozen nets, in my opinion.

Rat, if you have to ask how much Pig is worth, you cannot afford him.

I like Pig’s way of thinking on this.

Mine is $0. I don’t even have a net.

Right now I have a dime and two pennies.

The good news is my net worth is well into five figures.

The bad news is that that includes two figures after the decimal point.

What’s Pig’s worth on the net ? 177,265 followers here so far.

My net has too many holes in it.

Hello GoComics commenters, I am finally back after my break! Interesting comic strips now, and I really missed you all!!! Glad to be back! Have a great day, night, evening, or morning where ever you all are!!!

Mine? Ask Pigita !

Pig will bring home the bacon for ya!

Pig actually demonstrates Christianity as told by Christ himself!!

A rare event in these times!!

I dunno, but I’d like to think I’m a good catch! :D

$2. that’s all the wife gives me each week……

My networth is always offline.

Sadly Rat will never fully appreciate Pig’s worth.

Pig go talk to Satchel ….

Rat surely can be trusted with Pigs money. And you can trust on him… …not going to share any revenue made or even give it back.

How much is a good fishing net worth?

My net worth, without a net, is my friends that I know I can count on for anything, any time. I would do anything for them in return. Good friends are absolutely invaluable, and incredibly comforting, when one has no family (just me and Mr. pheets for family, neither of us have sibs or living relatives).

And, no, they are NOT cut and pastes of the same panel. Look at the bushes on each side. They ARE slightly different in each panel.

Honestly, if it’s one dollar in the black you are already ahead of most folks.

My net is not for sale. I need it to catch mice.

I don’t even have a successful career, just good old minimum wage.

Pig qualities do have some merit…in his world. OINK!

Pig is priceless.

You’re all right, Pig.

My net is worthless. So is my fishing pole and my bait box.

Pig is priceless. I think we can all agree on that.

Why does this ‘Pasty’ guy waste time on these doodles when he would make one helluva lawyer, with his ability to think fast on his feet.

Pig will also lend with he thinks is the golden parachute.

I am the ‘pig’. I am I am

if I had any……

Pig is right. Our bank balance is only a small fraction of our real net worth.

My worth is gross, not net.

“What’s your net worth?” “Well, I bought it used for twenty bucks, but I’d sell it for ten.”

For a second, I actually thought that Pig was gonna confuse the term ‘net worth’ with actual fishing.

I’ve never cared for the term “worth” regarding people. It just seems wrong to me.

PIg is currently worth about $225 “on the hoof” at the stockyards.

Right now I’m so broke I can’t even pay attention!

What a political time bomb.

I’ll take the “good friend” part and do my best to earn my own money. And if I do have to borrow, I’ll make sure it’s from a good friend!

I was SO expecting a homonym.

Fortunately, nobody brought up the Monty Python ‘We Were So Poor’ skit. oops . . .

Aww, that’s so sweet pig. But rat will probably just take advantage of that or something.

Pig knows what is truly important.

Pig is a good guy, maybe I’ll stop eating Pork…

Poor Pig is a gentle soul in a world full of Rats….

Obviously the shirt off his back has already been claimed.

This ends with Pig’s bank account being a big fat 0.
