Transcript:
Pig: Wow. Look at that woman's great jugs. Goat: Pig, that's ridiculously inappropriate. Go say you're sorry. Pig: Sorry. Woman: For what? Pig: I don't know. Goat: I give up.
Reminds me of a “Family Guy” incident. Peter is disliking a guy at a Costco-like place who said Lois has nice melons. Although Peter misunderstood, Lois called out she’s really carrying two watermelons in her arms. “She has nice hooters too” (Lois has two two owls perched on her arm). Then when said she’s hot, Peter starts chasing the son of a gun.
Ok, be honest. How many saw the first panel and thought Pig was talking exactly what he was talking about? Had it been Rat I’d have agreed with Goat. But Pig being the innocent he is I can’t help in this case but think of things like milk jugs or the clay like you think of shine coming in.
Adam Nedens(injured) (aka Snoopster): Did your parents allow you today’s strip? When I was 11 I wouldn’t even have understood it. Hope your leg is healing.
Reminds m of the great line from Young Frankenstein when Terri Garr’s character is being held over Dr. Frankenstein and he’s about to enter the castle and says ’What a set of knockers" and she says ’Thank You." He was supposed to be commenting about the door knockers. Always fine time to bring something from Mel Brooks
Saying sorry for no reason just as bad as that crack about the woman’s $#@&%* so Pig should have said anything although the words he uses always are @#$*& up !
Forgot to say — I probably wouldn’t have been that bolld had I not thought the joke would be obvious …. there’s no caboose any more — just a backwards engine.
I once actually said this to a friend of mine. She was carrying a two-liter of soda in each arm. I said to her, “Nice jugs!” It took her a second but then she cracked up laughing!
Similar thing happened to me! Told my sister that the store we were in had huge pickles. She thought I was talking about some random guy who walked past.

Poor Pig, so innocent and misunderstood.

Stephan did another strip kinda like this years ago. i think it was when Pig got his ears cut off and accidentally got implants.

Before you give up, Goat, you owe Pig and The Lady with the Jugs both an apology.
Hillbillyman over 12 years ago
Well!…They are pretty nice.

Goat should know by now how Pig is.

Pig needs to talk to Austin Powers. Maybe he could keep this up all week, and never apologize.

I had a friend who just said hello to a girl he just met. She said she was married and he apologised. I laughed about it for days.

Pastis is just staying abreast of the subject.

This can go on my fridge under the strip from 2009 where Pig tells Goat to ‘look at that cute chick’.

Yes, it’s been on my fridge since 2009. What can I say- it still cracks me up!

I once made a train conductor laugh by walking up behind him, when he was headed towards the end of the train, and saying “nice caboose.”
I very quickly (to erase any doubt) said “Bet you hear that one all the time.”
"He said “No, you’re the first — but I plan to steal it!”
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 12 years ago
Forgot to say — I probably wouldn’t have been that bolld had I not thought the joke would be obvious …. there’s no caboose any more — just a backwards engine.
Trains are like Pushmi-pullyus.
And the guy looked about 70.

codedaddy over 12 years ago
It might be even funnier if, instead of “I don’t know”, pig would answer “your inappropriate jugs”. I fear Pig would come out much worse though.
AB9SS over 12 years ago
Definitely not “Lil Brown Jugs”

I wonder how many papers will refuse to run this strip…
