Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 04, 2022

That’s why I only deal with chew toys that aren’t sentient and can’t talk.

There are many occupations like that, relationships too!

This is why I never try to talk to Rollo Toilet Paper.

Bummer.

And some commenters here thought a talking snowman was strange.

There are worse things than being a chew toy, such as toilet paper, as BasilBruce points out above.

A lot of people who have had a bad romance have felt that way….

Hope Pig doesn’t try to mess with Chewbacca!

I gave my brother a chew toy for Christmas; he’s gnawing on it right now.

A talking chew toy? Now I has seen everything.

“Chewy,chewy, chewy, don’t know what you’re doing to me, but you’re doing to me what I want you to!” Song by Ohio Express way back!

boney bone barely squeaks by…

Whomp whomp!

Pig you should feel right at home with another Downer ;-)

So now we have talking inanimate objects in the strip? Okay then

Cute eyes for a bone.

Also, it occurs to me that adding an “r” to his name creates an entirely new scenario and calls down the wrath of the censor.

Boney Bone Chew Toys have boobs? Who’d a thunk it.

Story of my life.

I could say something about the government, but I suppose someone would get offended.

Imagine how the poor dog feels, Pig when he discovers there’s no squeaker!

He brings countless hours of joy to mans best friends! To bring joy into the lives of dogs and humans alike! SQUEAK!!!

My last dog, a Labrador retriever, thought it was his mission in life to rip the squeaker out of every toy we bought him, and as quickly as possible. Wish I”d have videoed him with a squeaker in his mouth making noise as he chewed it into silence.

Boney should adopt the attitude of shmoos, who loved that their entire existence was devoted to being devoured.

I have to admit, I’ve taken a few squeakers from his chest….

I think someone has finally passed sentence on Pastis:

This strip is a downer.

Sadly, It’s his lot in life. Squeak, squeak……

I remember when my family got our dog a stuffed goose for his birthday. The stuffing was ripped out within days.

…and so are you, Mr. Pastis?

Isn’t that the fate in life for all of us? Being chewed up and spit out?

My dog is pretty gentle with her squeakies, considering she is a hunter. She gets attached, so if a squeaky comes out, I have a bag full of new ones and I just stick them in the toy with some new stuffing and she is very happy! I enjoy the sound of a dog squeaking a toy. Not everyone does.

You need to get some marrow, you-you boner.

Must kill squeakers.

More Crocs, more.crocs, more crocs.

How did Stephan end up in “Rabbits Against Magic”???

It’s your lot in life boney-bone. Making others happy isn’t such a bad way to be.

Chew toys aren’t downers. Dogs are the downers. The chew toys just get stuck in the middle.

Wait, that’s not what life is like for everyone (metaphorically speaking of course)?

My Basset would’ve had that squeaker out lickety split.

The bone was sad. This angered it’s father, who punished him severely (Oversimplified)

Well, Pig, whiny, complaining Chew Toys are equally as bad as any other whiny complainers….
