Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 26, 2023

Pig has a dirty mind.

He said “check”, not “chick”. Meanwhile, my hearing aids have been ordered from the local VA center down the road.

I want to make a joke about the Bureau of Indian Affairs, but I just know that a bunch of people will go on the warpath about it.

not to mention Consumer Affairs!

I’m a Vietnam vet and I don’t want anyone probing into my affairs.

Those Vets have so many affairs, they need a whole government department to deal with them.

Never knew you could pick up a check at VA affairs, except travel

Ain’t touchin’ THIS one….

I guess it’s one way of showing our appreciation…

Ain’t nobody’s business but my own. At least, that’s what the song says.

Oh pig, pig, its a miracle you’re not bacon.

Good one, Pig. But you could end up being bacon if you keep talking like that.

Makes me glad I never enlisted.

I’m a Vietnam vet also. Also a veterinarian . Would that make me a “vet vet”?

It’s no affair of YOURS Pig.

It’s affair assumption.

My affairs are my own affair.

Pig is absolutely correct.

they are only foreign affairs

Perhaps he should’ve shortened it to the VA.

Pig is confused.

Suddenly Pig wants to join the army

This is arguably one of Mr Pastis’ blandest efforts at a pun. And I’m a fan.

To all the veterans, thank you for your service!

Poor PIG! Never has a clue…☹️

Some types of “affairs” do not necessarily mean committing adultery.

Now Pig has me confused. What Veteran is a having an affair ?

face palm

With Pig, it’s never a matter of “may be confused”. It’s a state of being.

There is no department for Government Affairs because they would rather prod into other people’s affairs.

Thank you for your “service.”

Confused Pig is redundant

Oh, come on, Pastis…….

Somebody needs to send this to the excellent Last Kiss author. There are a lot of affairs going on over there in that thrice-weekly comic.

Calling Emily Litella …

Direct deposit.

Actually, If a married man cheats it would also be the business of the other husband (usually), as well as the cheater’s wife (also usually) as well as several children (often).

Tisk, tisk, tisk!!!

Pig is always confused. It shows sometimes more than others, however….

I don’t think it has to be cheating to be called an affair

LMFAO

Toooooo darn funny!
