Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 06, 2011

Doesn’t he know you shouldn’t wear Garbanzo’s after Labor Day.

So, it’s a party type of holiday. SweetLet’s all drink too much, get naked, and act stupid.At least until the cops shut the party down.

poor pig got all dressed too :…(

Whoa, Piggy — I do have to say it takes a lotta garbanzos to wear that in public!

Andrea — right.

Today would be jueves-grasbanzos,

A day to butter up fried chickpeas.

If Pig and Rat can find or stage a fun Mardi-Garbanzo Parade, I’ll be there with beans on and will personally throw bean-beads at ladies who cooperate by flashing their garbanzos….

I love the garbanzos bra ;)

Somebody needs to Bean Rat

“Nobody knows the trouble I’ve bean.”

Let me add to that: if it’s on Thursday, it needs to be called Jeudi Grasbanzo.

Nice rack, Pig.

Goat had better be careful, or else he may face another malletization.

That was hilarious, thank you.

Maybe that is why Pig has so much trouble with Pigita.

thats a grasbanzNO!

there is just NO good answer to that, is there?

Hmmmm… roast pig with garbanzo(s) on the side…

Garbanzos!! Goes right along with “Festivus”!!

Way to spill the beans, goat.

Just another pathetic excuse for dressing funny, having a parade, acting silly and drinking!

I LIKE IT!!!!!!!

I sure hope pig don’t confuse his oompa lumpas with all those garbonzos…….☻

Month after month i read this strip and am ready to call out pastis when he does something cockamamie like have a bomb land on a jailhouse freeing a known felon, and still i don’t register because i am afraid my voice won’t be heard in the swelling masses. Now he comes up with all this Fabaceae about garbanzo beans and all i can come up with is :

“Somebody throw pig a chickpea necklace” Lame i know

At first, people of South Pacific taken in by Greta.

When Pastis comes to Portland later this month I’m gonna give him a load o’crap for this thread. Bring on the Croc’s! Zeeba Zeeba Eata!

O_O …….. I think you grabbed the woman’s costume, Pig.

I think you look VERY cute Pig.

xxx

Later today is the Grasbanzo Flash Mob; hundreds of people will gather together, strip down, and shake their garbanzos for the world to see.

Pig looks so sad in the fourth panel.

JDLSU and mjb – I made it “Jueves-Gras-banzos" back there because “Jeudi” is French and Garbanzos is Spanish.

I probably should have said “Jueves-Grasa-banzos” though. :)

And Finkd, I know…. I’m scared of the mallet, I am….

But I was trying for a lame pun about fatty foods, in honor of Mardi Gras……

and in my strange word-twisting mind (and maybe bmonk’s?), “fried chickpeas” could also be drunken girls….

while “fried garbanzos” is…just….. um….scary.

Keep your garbanzos away from my oompa-loompas, Pig!

Dude I’m a garbanzo for Halloween!!

Since when does Rat worry about hurting ANYONE’S feelings, especially Pig’s?
