Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 03, 2011
Transcript:
Pigita: Where you taking me, pig? Pig: To the fireworks show...we all sit on this baseball field and watch. Pigita: It's too crowded. Pig: No it's not. There's a spot right there by second base. Is that your cell phone? Pigita: Yeah. It's in my purse. Will you answer it? My hands are full. Pig: Hello?... It's your dad. He's just checking in on us. Wants to know what we're doing. Pigita: Well, tell him. Pig: I'm trying to get to second base. He's not happy.

As long as he’s already made her dad unhappy, Pig should go and see how the view is from the plate.

You could have added a few more details that would have set his mond at ease.

I think Pig missed the steal sign, either way I don’t think the third base coach will be waving him in…. Kind of refreshing to see a strip with Pigita where she’s not getting mad at Pig.

Do today’s kids know what the bases mean?

Groan! Even baser than the more elaborate Sunday puns! Maybe, if we and Pig are lucky, Pigita’s dad will rush over to whisk her home! [No, no nasties are to be inferred from that wording!]

Now that’s a well set up punch line.The strip’s I mean.

Speaking of strips; are Pig and Pigita the only nudists attending the ballgame? I mean, everybody else has clothes on… And Dad’s worried about second base?

Pig should have said something else like were watching the fireworks at the baseball field.

Donald, not everybody hates puns…I love Pastis! His puns make you groan, then laugh out loud…

Poor Pig. He and Pigita have been dating off and on for years and he still hasn’t gotten to second base.

I laughed really hard. Didn’t see that one coming. Good Job!

Pastis, these puns of yours always make me groan, laugh and then shake my head. You are a sick, sick man. Good for you! Keep up the great work. If you doubt my words, please read Canadian Idiot’s comment. He said it better…

I hope Pig doesn’t forget how bad the fatherly reaction was when he told his date’s father they, “…would have been on time, but your daughter here lost her Virginia tee.” (6/22/03, page 245 in “Sgt. Piggy’s Lonely Hearts Club Comic,” for instance.) At least this time he was on the phone.

What’s with the over sized foreheads?
RogerSkulnik over 13 years ago
I vaguely recall that “second base” had something to do with breasts, an item that Pigita seems to lack!

“I’m trying to get to second base, and we’re expecting fireworks.”
LuckyJazz over 13 years ago
Haha! That has to be the best Pearls yet!

I’m thinking that the fireworks will start when Pig takes Pigita back home to Papa. . . .
