Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 18, 2024

He put the lemonade in the bag with the chili dogs? Ewww!

Good move, Pig!

Is Bob a Chili dog chihuahua?

That was probably a small lemonade.

Small amount of business. I guess it goes with the small business itself.

Bob? Isn’t Bob Rat’s and Pig’s neighbor? Or is it coincidental – or Stephan ran out of names?

Pig likes to help the little people.

Facepalm

Pig is a cannibal?

Rat should be hitting Stephen with a bat.

If that what it means to support small businesses, I’ll go with the big business pizza shops.

Truly a small business!

Pig! Remember, then, to support the Lollipop Guild!!

Yeah, better grab 2 DOZEN if you wanna stop the ol’ tummy from growling.

Bob must be from Lilliput. He certainly not look like a BOBdingnagian.

There’s something about small businesses that feel more authentic.

Careful what you put in his tip jar, Pig. You don’t want to “tip” over his business.

Cute.

Really, Stephan? Really?

That money is as big as Bob! It should help him go far.

Did Pig pay him in small change?

Yay for supporting local, but boo for that pun!

You really phoned that one in Steph.

even shrink them down to make money seem bigger for them too. :}

Groan.

Using modern economics, this must have been a micro transaction.

“Small businesses”? groan

I guess the punch line here is the double take on the word “small”. Not Pastis’ best strip; may be just OK.

It even comes in easy to swallow pill form.

“Do you want to super-size that?”

What is Bob ? A tiny bird ?

What drink size do you want?

Who doesn’t love small businesses? (Besides some politicians)

that should hold ya for about 5 minutes…

Where’s the lemonade?

pretty much everyone else is bobbing along.. and named thusly

Those must be Vienna sausage chili dogs…

So what happened to rats wife?

Should’ve waited until Nov 30 to run this one!

Small business is a big deal.

G R O A N — LOLOL

I do go

Yep. That’s why we like this comic. :D Those bigger comics with hundreds or fans are less fun. :P
