Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 13, 2011

Goat should have spelled it out a little more…

How about this game, Pig; flip a coin, and see who can tell which side is up in just two guesses.

I cents a lame brain.

Of course the way to really win with this is to stick something in the middle of the jar; that way, no one can use a volume calculation.

Proginoskes — Those three pennies don’t produce much volume. In fact, I can hardly hear them.

Sherlock! I know! I know in one guess!

Is it….. (ta dah!)….. the …. outside?

Pig, I’ve got some pennies I could give you. See, with many more pennies, the guessing is harder! Isn’t that cool?!

How does Rat do that?

What a jar-head.

Rat R Very Smart

Be nice….that was Pig’s life savings.

Rat may be a savant after all.

The jokes on Rat: the party bags are filled with Purina® Pig Chow and sugarless candy.

Actually the rat is wrong. The goat glued another penny to the inside of the lid.

Poor Pig…is Rat the only guest at his party?I’d party with Pig any day. He’d be sure to have good cake and nibbles.

The party bags have different combinations of pig treats: corn, wheat, lupin seed, fish meal, blood meal, oyster shell, groundnut husk, etc.

Pig would be excellent party guest. He would have everyone in stitches. Literally.

If the Crocs crash the party, the pig may become ham.

Awwwww, Cute!

Jeeze, even the croc’s could win that one. That’s one dumb pig.

Didn’t Monk once guess how many jellybeans were in a jar? He saw 15 boxes of 200 each (or whatever the numbers), figured there should be 3000 jellybeans, less the 15-20 the guy who poured them in ate—and so guessed 2982.

pig, pig, pig…………

I would’ve guessed four… Oh, well…

I’m going to pig’s party if he is tap-dancing!
