Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 10, 2016
Transcript:
Rat: Listen, Kim. It was nice meeting you on 'Tinder'. But I don't think I can date you. For one thing, I don't know how many lovers you had before me. Kim: Fifteen! Rat: Seriously? Is that the real number? Kim: Thirty! Rat: Thirty? That's ridiculous! Were they all just one-night flings or did you actually love any of them? Kim: Love! Rat: Yeah, right...you must think I'm some kind of idiot. Some rube you can take advantage of. Kim: Advantage! Rat: Alright, alright, stop shouting...you just shook the whole counter...unless that was an earthquake...we do live on a- Kim: Fault! Rat: You're a tennis umpire. Pig: Hey, can I borrow a- Kim: Match!

I wonder if Stephan has run out of ideas for background colors. Gray and white is just a little… Well… Dull!

Keep in mind that he is (at least intermittently) running for President. Sincerity is the virtue that properly faked can move the masses.

Sure, you can “borrow” one, but only if you promise to give it back after you’re done using it.

Honest to god, the next strip I read after Pearl’s is Stone Soup. 1st line in the strip: “You can not be serious”

Actually, Rat and Kim would be a match made in — well, a match, anyway. They both have one thing in common: “Life, the Universe itself, being all about me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,…!” — as either one of them would put it!

Just read this today:“Love” is the word used when the score is zero, or goose egg (another term for zero in game), because it originally sounded like egg in French, l’oeuf

I don’t trust her, changing the number of lovers like that. I’d be watching her like a hawk
eye.
