Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 30, 2011
Transcript:
Pig: Why do they call Philadelphia the 'City of Brotherly Love'? Goat: Well, as with most words, you just need to break down the word. Pig: How do you mean? Goat: Well, 'Phileo' is Greek for 'to love'...and 'Adelphos' means 'brother'. Pig: Oooh...that's neat! Lemme try that with a word! Goat: Sure. Pig: Okay...'ra'...what does that mean? Goat: You mean, as in the cheer, 'rah rah'? Pig: Yeah...and what about 'ag'? Goat: Ag?...That's often showrf for 'agriculture'. Pig: What about 'vi'? Goat: 'Vie'?...That means 'to compete'. Pig: So 'Viagra' is to help you cheer at an agricultural competition? Man: May I have that back please? Pig: I'll take a bunch and cheer great! Goat: Check please.

look out, pigita!
fatjimi over 13 years ago
Thatâs going to be hard to explain.
Arianne over 13 years ago
Buckle your seatbelts, itâs going to be a bumpy night!!! The ribaldry will flow like a raging river from which there is no Deliverance.

Omega â to provide fodder for a cartoon, silly!
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 13 years ago
Meanwhile, looks like Pigâs gonna be up unexpectedly early.And late.
legaleagle48 over 13 years ago
For once, Pig just might be a match for Pigita.
orinoco womble over 13 years ago
Thanks, Arianne, I now have the music from Deliverance in my head. Not quite the thing for Sunday morning!!
Sisyphos over 13 years ago
Is there a doctor in the house?!
AnonymousUser over 13 years ago
Does the thing even work on pigs?

So if you take Viagra do youâŠâŠbecome a member in good standingâŠ..oh that was so goooood.
BlueRaven over 13 years ago
Right. Because every erection must be satisfied and one orgasm is all itâll take to cure the problem. And rape is funny. Give unto me a break.
fmasroor over 13 years ago
Not good.
hariseldon59 over 13 years ago
Up until now I wasnât sure if Pig was anatomically correct.
chris_weaver over 13 years ago
Well, it does assist with âseed plantingâ!
Snoopy_Fan over 13 years ago
Yes⊠and Pig will be an âex-spurtâ when heâs done with the viagraâŠ
Snoopy_Fan over 13 years ago
Boy, I canât wait to see tomorrowâs stripâŠ
evanisdaman over 13 years ago
Thatâs not appropriate ODDBALL that could cause kids to think bad thingsâŠIâm just joshinâ ya
Snoopy_Fan over 13 years ago
Is Goat asking for the check because heâs embarassed, or because he doesnât want to be around when the viagra kicks in?
Snoopy_Fan over 13 years ago
I think Pig could use a stiff drinkâŠ
RonaldDavis over 13 years ago
I figure the âViâ in Viagra is from the Latin âvirâ meaning âmanâ. Agra is a city in India, containing the Taj Mahal, which is a monument built by Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. It is the greatest erection ever put up by a man for a woman.
Arianne over 13 years ago
Pig will be makinâ bacon, come the dawn. (Shameless recidivist, thatâs me.)
Lowtech over 13 years ago
oh my god he actually sneaked viagra into the comics page!
nancyroy2 over 13 years ago

There was the guy that spent all his money on Viagra and complained about being hard up for the rest of the month.

Democrat â from demonic rat.
Republican â from Rep (a salesman), pub (a place for the purchase of intoxicating liquor), li(e) â to be prone, can â toilet, so salesman that gets drunk and falls flat out on the toilet.
Independent â equivalent to the English phrase âJohnny No-Matesâ
hariseldon59 over 13 years ago
In his books Stephan sometimes prints letters from angry readers who are offended by his strip. I canât wait to see the letters this one generates.

Pig really made a boner this time.Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·Ă·This might finally put Pigita in a good mood. If sheâs not home, Pig can always go âsee Aliceâ (Cialis).
klaude over 13 years ago
I always call Philly the city of brotherly shove.
ineza over 13 years ago
Man! Pastis! Convolute! I wish I was rat, with a bat, to go upside your head (cartoon wise of course)!!!!!
pocounohamster over 13 years ago
I believe I was in that diner when that occurred :)

ââNumbâ is when you canât really feel, and then âbrr,â is what you say when youâre cold, so Iâm going to say that ânumberâ is someone who canât feel when theyâre cold.â
Also, I shudder to think of the Rule 34 images this will inspireâŠ

P-I-G: The lovemaking machine!!
Keno21 over 13 years ago
Hope he doesnât OD. Hate to see Pig die. Especially since heâd have to have an open-casket funeral.
Keno21 over 13 years ago
You know, I donât recall ever seeing a boner joke on Family CircusâŠ
bmonk over 13 years ago
I like the stories about the fellow who got a pill stuck in his throatânow he has a stiff neckâand the gang who hijacked a truck full of a Viagra shipment. THe cops are looking for a gang of hardened criminals. . . .++++The problem with Pigâs plan is that heâs gonna spend a few months watching grass grow. . . .

It does enable you to plow your partnerâs garden.
jkhandy over 13 years ago
Pathetic that we live in a society in which men have to take a pill to obtain an erection. If your penis isnât working the way in which it was designed naturally, then you have some serious mental issues and should be working on that instead of popping a pill in order to ejaculate your emotions into some female. And, any female who allows her partner to do so is either in porn or truly lacking in the self worth department. God Bless America!

I was working at customer service for a certain web site and a site member wrote in to complain about another memberâs user name (which was also his email address). The part that the complainant objected to was the domain name, which was VIAGRAFIX.com. We had to write and tell her that even though she was offended, we couldnât just change his user name since email addresses were allowable (although not exactly advised) for use as a user name. The kicker was that it was not âViagra-Fixâ, as she had read it, but instead âVia-Grafixâ and he was a graphic artist.

OohâŠmy ooba kanoobsas!
KatP Premium Member about 12 years ago
Kind of strange that some guy just leaves his Viagra sitting on the table at a diner. O_o
