Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 09, 2022

I would never say my Mother because I don’t want to blame her for my shortcomings.

No cheese, no beer

Having children is genetic, chances are if your parents didn’t have children, you won’t either.

Can’t fault Pig’s reasoning.

No cheese No happiness

that is making it simple Pig…

You’d think Goat would get tired of his questions being misinterpreted?

Wish I had a wall like that to stand by.

That’s it! The solution to everything: “No ______, no cheese!”The world has become a better place!

No, Goat, I think Pig has got it right.

Ahem. Don’t forget your poor dad, Pig. He also contributes.

Well, he’s not wrong.

You can’t beat Pig’s answer with a stick!

I remember one time when I was a kid and my mother was making lunch. I wanted to help and asked if could cut the cheese. She yelled out, “NO!”. Moms ain’t stupid.

I have an idea. Let’s use the same panel forever.

I believe the correct term is Birthing Person.

No Henson, no Muppets.

No cheese, no peace!

That’s true.

To all the mums.

Poor PIG! Has no clue….

People are caused by accidents (in many cases).

Pig still makes a valid point

To be fair, it’s hard to argue with Pig’s logic. It makes sense.

Actually Pig, because of your mom, you are. There are probably myriad reasons why you are where you are today, but your mom was probably part of that too.

No gas, no squeegee!

Brilliant-Savarin aux truffes, baguette, et vin rouge….

Hm. I suppose that does simple it down.

Goat, next time you ask Pig these sorts of questions, try to be more specific when asking them and explain to Pig what they mean in order to avoid this problem.

Without the cheese, Pigs’ answer is quite valid.

Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease.

Now the schools are saying that you’re supposed to call your mom your ‘birthing person’. What utter absurdity.

You got that right Pig. Thank you Mom for giving me life…..

Pig is me..I am Pig

No bounce, no play. (S. King)

the bigger question is why they dont look at each other when talking

“She’s the reason I am where I am today. If it weren’t for her, I’d be standing over there.”

Yes Pig! Yet another reason my Wisconsin born children are so thankful to their Mom. Pass the cheddar.

No Mac’n’Cheese no purpose in birth and life.

Pig: “All roads lead to Rome, Wisconsin.”

Is something written in the grass down there?

What Pig said is profound. Have a blessed Saturday.

Cheese it, Pig! The Comic Cops are on to you!

and thus, no fun.
