Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 03, 2012

wonder if I should forward this to my gf

Remember, kids, “marriage” isn’t a word — it’s a sentence. And that’s one to grow on.

The problem I see here is that Ellie was asking for someone to share her life, not a “husband” like poor Rita has. Rita needs someone to share her life. They shouldn’t have smashed the marriage fairy, but put her to work fixing the issues.

I’m afraid it’s hopeless, Pig. The condiments always catch up.

Maybe Rita is a nag and a bore.

Does an elephant really need to use something to crush a fairy?

Pig seems always a little late, and a good bit short, with his patented Sunday last-panel rants/exclamations! That said, i do think Elly Elephant’s direct action should have aimed at Rita rather than at the Marriage Fairy….

the condom-mints are even worse…

@hawgowar….or maybe she’s just plum worn him out…she is a rabbit.

Goat can be facetious at times.

Oh sure, take it out on the MF . . . ☻

..heck yeah..

In a country where so many Gen-x men look to the far right is what makes them so called “practicing Christians”. They have been led to their version of Christianity by their extreme political beliefs.

…and Elle stands up to leave…and Rita’s hubby is wedged in her butt …

I suspect the husband rabbit has his own story to tell concerning Rita.

She got creamed……

I was raised as a “practicing Christian”, but I could never get it right and eventually gave it up. Now I’m a born again Pagan.

Just wait ’til Elly gets to the ketchup bottle.

Can the Lil’ fairy cut the mustard?

Poor Rita. You can’t understand men sometimes.

I love how Pig goes CRAZY!

Forgive me, I may be wrong…but I think real practicing Christians NEVER marry anybody who isn’t one of THEM.I may have known two real Christians in my whole life. Used to go to a LOT of churches, though. Met and still know a LOT of really nice people.

Tried to be a Christian back when I was young. Couldn’t do it. It was a LOT easier to become a Green Beret.

Don’t pay much attention to your ‘minister’…or priest…read the Book, you’ll see what I mean.

fairy could have told rabbit to set her clock up to daylight saving time.

The brain drain in those areas in those decades affected men more than women, leaving a paucity of matches for bright females. People like Perry can even become governor with the competition having fled.

good point.

Does Stephan’s wife write this sometimes? Like when he’s running or late, or doesn’t show up, she takes up the pen and sends it to his editor without him knowing. Just a thought :-)

They say the biggest mistake a woman makes when marrying a man is thinking he’ll change. The biggest mistake a man makes when marrying a woman is thinking she won’t.

And Rita Rabbit’s husband is sitting at the bar drinking a beer and eating beer nuts, oblivious to the whole situation, God I love beer.

Do you hear that?“Run from the condiments, Li’l fairy!”Neither me nor Monita (my profile picture) has ever heard that anywhere!

I guess Stephen was still upset about his divorce at that time…
