Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 16, 2016
Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig...I have something to tell you, but please don't take offense. Pig: I would never do that without asking. Goat: Asking what? Pig: If I could take your fence or anyone else's. Goat: Let's start over. Pig: Let's. Because so far, it's been very offensive.

I checked the Spanish version, because the pun on “fence” and “offense” only works in English. The Spanish says “I don’t want you to take it badly” and Pig replies “I wouldn’t take it without asking you.” He still says it’s getting offensive in the last panel but that simply sits in isolation.

Don’t start over, Goat. Just jump the fence and run. Pig is a bad influence on any sentient being….

Has everyone noticed how quickly the apparent youngster has figured out how to be a successful troll? Of course it’s pretty easy… just post on a comic how you don’t like it, and you’re guaranteed to get comments…

If you don’t like the comic, no one is forcing you to read it.

(I was not trying to be a hater or a trol. I love the comics and pearls. I was just trying to say that sometimes cartoonists cannot be very creative at times, and it can be tiresome.)

Don’t touch my fence. It will give serious offense.

When someone leads with “Don’t take offense” it’s their way of blaming you for their inconsiderate or insulting comments
