Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 27, 2011

It took me a few minutes…

No Pig, but they might pear you up with someone nicer than Pigita.

You know, this is the first time I’ve actually seen a date depicted in a comic in conjunction with the joke. I still have yet to see the same fruit in real life.

Actually, looks like Pig got THREE dates! Wow! Now if he could just unload that vile Pigita, all would well in Pig’s little world!

It took me two minutes………..

Don’t give a fig for his opinion, Pig!! Orange you glad you finally got that date? The fruit of your labour will be sweet indeed!

Looks like he got more than one date actually.

Pig, if you want a new sweetie, you could find a real peach at the produce market.

No raisin to look any farther.

How about a nice prune? She’s not such a hot tomato, but underneath she’s a plum, with a grape personality.

Corny as it sounds, she’ll soon be the apple of your eye.

At least she beets your currant girlfriend, who doesn’t carrot all about you.

OK OK!! I’ll stop!I heard those raspberries!

So I thought it was “a week of croc strips I need to run”?When do we get to the Pastis in Guantanamo story arc??

@orinoco womble, Susan Sunshine: Have you two been hanging out with Pastis?

Though the joke seems a little Dated, I’m a Rasin(able) guy. So i’ll just say “Grape job Pastis”.And SusanSunshine, no one comPears to you.Yeah, I know, that was pretty Lime.

This reminds me of the “fruit buddies” strips of a few years ago.

Looks like we’ll probably have to wait until at least Monday to find out if Zebra’s wall and Melvin are still standing.

Pig, you’re a real cool cucumber, but I hope you didn’t get yourself a lemon.

It flows, nice

WOW!! Pig’s got himself a threesome!

He must have lots of cabbage to keep them around. If not, he will soon be very *melon*choly.

Love it, SusanSunshine!!! You crack me up every thyme! Pig, I believe match.com specializes in matches. The kind you light a fire with…

I dated a cashier that I met grocery shopping. When she met my friends, one of my friends asked where did I find her. I said the grocery store.His response – :Which aisle?" (In front of her)

I once dated a “meloncally” girl.; she was shaped like a melon and had a face like a collie. Badump-bump

At least your ‘friend’ didn’t ask if she was a unit price or by the pound.

The answer to your question Pig - is, yes. Sorry nobody else said. They were obviously too busy punishing you. . ..

Good Luck Pig!

Those dates look like animal droppings….

I’ve never eaten a date before.

I know the late Don Hawkins would have loved this strip.

I hope there’s a follow-up to this strip referencing the “bad dates” from Raiders Of The Lost Ark…

Poor pig :(

They’re a perfect match; fruits and a vegetable.

Rat would have beaned him one for that.

Pig, if you don’t dump Pigita after this, you’re nuts!

Oh, this is great Pig…

Let’s hope he doesn’t get all crazy and just start going for cheesecake!! Keep your soul, pig :-)

hahahaha fruits? on match.com only nuts ;P

I don’t give a fig what anybody else says. SusanSunshine, you’re a peach! Orange you glad we love you?

I live in Indio, CA – Date capital of the United States. Our Riverside County Fair is also the National Date Festival. My out of town friends never understand why we have a festival for singles….

Enough with the bad puns… these are worse than Pastis’
