Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 02, 2012

HAHAHAHA…Stephan names a lot of stuff “something ’o Something” … lol :D

poor pig :(

Beer does make you smarter … It made Budweiser.

Boiled ham, anyone?

Ahhhh, beer. Both the source and solution to all our problems.*

*homage to Homer Simpson

Brewsky, the fount of wisdom.

I get a few in me and I turn into a professor.

You’re wrong Rat, eight beers do not bring wisdom. It’s the shot of Tequila before and after each beer that provide the enlightenment.

Rat actually did it! He got Pig to drink beer. And not just one but eight! Pastis said that Pig being so child-like he always pictured him as only drinking juice or soda and everyone else, especially Rat, would drink beer. But Rat actually did it.

In Bavaria(Germany), beer is taxed in the same category as ‘Staple food products’. I love it here!!!

“When I am this drunk, I become brazen and arrogant to the last degree. I perform the most difficult feats flawlessly. And all of you, my dears, because it’s true, look as big as cockroaches, or some other quite unimportant things.” (Doctor Astrov in “Vanya on 42nd Street.”)

@jukeofurl: In the US regular food is not taxed in grocery stores, only “drinks” (not juices, but soda and alcoholic beverages) as well as pet food, etc.

Oh, my, my! Pig has made a pig of himself and become sloshed. Since he has not hitherto been drunk in our presence, he will likely develop a massive hangover and be unavailable for comic relief for some time. I hope Rat and Goat have some amusing routines scripted for use at times like these….

Beer is what gets idiots out driving around crashing into cars killing inocent folks. Just because your old enough to drink beer don’t mean you have too.

I like beer/ It makes me a jolly good fellow/ It helps me unwind and makes me feel mellow/Whiskey’s too rough/Champagne costs too much/And vodka puts my mouth in gear… (Tom T. Hall song)

Ahhh, reminds me of an old favorite dinner from college: cookies and beer. Ever dunk a chocolate chip cookie in a Budweiser? Maybe I did…I don’t remember.

Speaking of which, it isn’t the beer that brings wisdom, it’s the hangover, as in “I did WHAT???”

It’s gotta be Beer:30 somewhere… bottoms up!

Let’s do some cheese rolling…

I don’t think I’m smarter after a few beers but I do paint models better.

@LiveToSurfAnd in Greece, beer is taxed with a “sin” tax. Therein lies the difference.

If it takes eight, why then does beer come in sixpacks?

..yes,I know this will get lost in the massive posting on this strip..Rat is a practitioner of the lost art of Ty Wun On…when you Ty Wun On you become much more brave;you feel no pain…etc,etc and so forth…

OH MAH GAWD THAT WAS NOT THE IMAGE OF PIG I WANTED TO SEE AT 7:57 AM

I think this might be the first time we’ve seen Pig drink beer.

There’s a belligerent Einstein in every dozen.

Poor Pig. I can almost hear Don Henley singing “The End of the Innocence”.

My guess is it only took 2 to do in Pig.

Inspirational strip just in time for the weekend.

Baked Ham

Reminds me of Cliff Clavin explaining to Norm how beer makes you smarter through the natural selection of brain cells…

That is EXCELLENT!

Just as well he didn’t put bubble bath in his mouth which he thought was mouthwash like my cousin did!

He said ‘That mouthwash tastes bloody awful’

LOL. Good one Rat!

xxx

so true

“Beeeeeeer……..Mooore Beeeeeer……..”

So sayeth the zombiefied barfly.

Oh, PIg! You’ve had a few too many!

Im getting this comic framed
