Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 21, 2012

Call the ACLU…

hah!

I’m with Goast on this one. >__<

How is that racist to pig?

she’s a pig, she overeats a bit, maybe the Dr is gluten intolerant

Heavy, guys! I agree with J man. What’s racist about that?

Good question, really don’t know. Have had run-ins a few times with really good friends who are SDA, need to ask them next time. Can’t today, because they won’t respond to phones calls, SMS or e-mails on a Saturday.

Pig supposes his toeses are missingBut Pig supposes erroneouslyFor everyone knowsesThat toeses ain’t missingWhen lactose intolerant’s all that you be

PS: @Stephan

More like pap-ist

Pigita’s an anti-milkite!

If she is lack-toes intolerant, she would hate pobbles, and that’s racist….if pobbles are a race.

Anyway Pig calls any sort of intolerance based on a physical characteristic “racist”… cos it’s easier to spell than “physical-characteristic-intolerant.”

Otto!

Um….bats, insects, camels…. probably not tasty, diseased animals, pretty disgusting…. and all banned…

Beef steak, chocolate, cheese ….all quite tasty and not banned.

No, Pig, that’s not racist; that’s paronomasia. (Be patient with him, Goat!)

How can Mr. Pastis sleep at night

She has swine flu?

If the doctor is intolerant of those who lack toes (like pigs), that is what makes him racist in pig’s eyes.

Didn’t they break up, Pig and Pigita?

SP just cracks me up with his strips that have a play on words. Love him!

aren’t bad puns illegal ;)

I wonder if Pig had to foot the bill for this?

Jews and SDA observe kashrut from Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. The Muslim dhabiha halal is mostly similar (but a little less restrictive) and comes from a number of verses in the Qur’an.Both sets of dietary laws are extremely effective in preventing food-borne disease in a pre-refrigeration desert environment.Poor Pig is neither kosher nor halal.

Pastis worked hard for this joke.

Still chuckling about this one!

really??????

i bet pig is gluten intolerant

Rat please shoot Steph

Pigita has stephed in it this time..

I just love Goat’s expression in the last panel. He uses it a LOT when Rat’s about.

Gotta be a record for you Stephen. A solid punt in only three frames!

Yeah to me it’s eracerist.

WOW, this one was really weak!

This little piggy went to market; this little piggy stayed at home; . . . . . . .How do you play that game with someone who lacks toes?

HAHA! Only Stephan’s distorted brain could come up with that one… :-D

Maybe Pigita’s afraid of someone stepping on her hair and giving her toe-mane poisoning.

OMG! That’s hysterical!

Pigita wouldn’t hate me, because I have mytosis.

I guess Pig would see someone who is lack-toes intolerant as racist, because he, like many other hooved animals, don’t have apparent toes.

Something is fishy about a person who is lack-toes intolerant.

Yeah, that’s not racist, that’s disability-ist… or something… ;-)

Racist against white?
