Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 17, 2017

Pig, go take a cold shower.

Where’s the comics censor? I think he’s needed on this one…

…sounds like how our real estate developer in chief “made out.”

Pig knows the meaning of ‘making out’?

<< Cackle! >>

No, they touch inappropriate private funds!

Real estate developers don’t have any concept of “private”, whether it’s “parts” or anything else.

What private parts aren’t inappropriate?

This looks like a dirty plot…

My question was going to be, In making out, what private parts ARE inappropriate?

Great, Cindy’s going to be reading when it’s 8:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time (10 a.m. eastern here).

Does Pigita wear a Pussy Hat?

Ummm…. this is kind of “odd” for Pastis. Do not really appreciate today’s strip.

I think he missed a bet. The bandit way of making out should involve pirate parts.

Jeez, I thought this one was humorous. Not knee-slapping Pastis, but cute. Why the negative comments? Are we that easily offended? If so, don’t turn on the TV!

Bunch of soft-shelled, lately-come types commenting today. Please go freak out somewhere, far away. And don’t worry, my dear and honored RW friends….I can almost guarantee you that you will have your chances again to behave badly to fellow citizens you have been told to disagree with. LEAVE PASTIS ALONE.

I wondered why we don’t see more of Pigita, and now we know. She ran away from home to protect herself from Pig, that lascivious animal………

It’s not the private parts that are inappropriate; it’s the touching. (I know, I’m being a grammar hammer)

Today’s strip is totally gross.

This seems out of character for Pig.

Strange, because last week I got an idea for a Pearls Before Swine strip, or maybe I’m just remembering a past strip. Pig is waiting for Pigita at the bar when a woman starts talking to him

Woman: “Hey, you look like the type of person I need for a sales and manufacturing opportunity. Do you have a rat in your house?”

Pig: “As a matter of fact, I do.”

Woman: “I’m from the makers of Off. We’re expanding to make products to scare away lager pests. It’s called Out, and it emits a high-frequency noise to drive away vermin. I’m starting a sales network, but you have to be on board with assembling the items. Can I count you in?”

Then, as Pigita enters the room, Pig raises his hands and enthusiastically says, “Yes, I want to make ‘Out’!” The last panel shows him beat up, saying, “I don’t understand women.” The pun would have had more impact if presented this way.

It’s a touching strip today.

My, dont you guys think your overreacting just a little? This was an indirect reference to Trump, but a reaction as big as the ones you were making would make it seem like the strip said “Trump is an auwful president” Secondly, I have seen much worse jokes in the somics strips. Pastis seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to people complaining. If you guys let up a little, it would make Poor stephens life a little better.

I don’t care if I’m 22 years old and laughing immaturely at this strip.

I had my parts appraised. They’re all appropriate.

Someone reading this strip with me had a suggestion. She thinks I should put my private parts up for public auction. She won’t say what she means by that! Should I be miffed?

“Inappropriate private parts”? Sounds to me like Pig is looking for love in all the wrong places.

PS: Bring back Sweet Fanny!

Good grief!

I’m old enough to remember “sweet, innocent” Pig!

What have you done with Our Pig, Cartoon-Boy? You beer-swilling Dirty Old Man!

Pig grew up

I’ll come back later..
