Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 13, 2013

No, Pig, do it. It couldn’t hurt…Can’t be too careful…..

Maybe Burt the Bear will have a springtime appetite for Crocodiles?

Burt loves bubblewrap.

Better invite Guard Duck over.

Pig! You have 4 months! In that time, even Steph can come up with a pun (like Bacon being too heavy the first thing when you wake up!) to talk you out of getting chomped on! Second thought, looks like the strip will become “Pearls Before Lemmings”

Distract Burt with some frozen penguin popsicles.

Use aluminum foil for keeping bears out of your head. Drives them crazy when it gets on their fillings.Alternatively, you could just duct tape your house shut now, and then wait the 4 months for Bert to wake back up…

maybe Bert the bear likes OREOS !!!!

In four months’ time, Pig, you can easily have completed your move to Vanuatu. Let Rat deal with hungry Burt when he wakes up….

Hey “Burt” you would make a nice carpet ! It goes both ways !

Forget the blanket pig since it won’t help either.

Loving the bear.

I don’t understand why the carnivores here are hating on the carnivore. Jealous of the competition? Or just unaware of the irony involved.

Truth. If Bears could fly they would be the most badass thing imaginable.

Rat should be all over this with burning down Bears house while he’s sleeping. A bit of preventitave care…

They better get an airplane.

Burt’s just giving them the bear facts.

Resistance is FEW-tyle!

I suspect that when Burt nods off, he will be in trouble.

I wonder if they can turn fast too? If not, it’s just a matter of outlasting the bear if you force it to do sudden turns.

The bears arms are too small. I don’t see how he can run, climb, or break down anything with those things.

Just wait ‘til the bear falls asleep, and wrap his head in bubble wrap… and don’t leave an air hole.

Rat doesn’t need to run faster than the bear. He can run faster than Pig.

Pig is just so adorable.

Move to Texas, Pig.

I’ve got it! When he’s not looking, hide his Charmin! ;-)

And belch the alphabet, judging by that bear beer gut.

My point is that everyone here commenting eats meat, but they’re all attacking Bert for doing the same thing. At least he’s being honest about it.(Besides, I hate Pig. I’d love to see Rat trip him on the way out of the yard.)

Because we cheat.

He could roast Pig before chomping him with the bubblewrap still wrapped around

Snap, Crackling and Pop!

Modern problems need modern solutions.

Nerf bears too OP

During his hibernation they have the advantage
