    Isn’t interesting how there are only a three “Pearls Before Swine” character who are actually in the Chinese Zodiac? It’s just Pig, Rat, and Goat. There’s hardly a dog, snake, tiger, monkey, rooster, horse, rabbit, nor dragon.

    Pig, everything will be fulfilled to you when the pigs fly.

    “Year of the pig” means pigs pay for everything, all year long!

    It’s a shame that you can’t pick your own animal. Being a pig or rat your entire life would kind of suck.

    It means people will be eating a lot of pork, bacon, and ham.

    That’s a pretty neat way to look at it, Pig. Let me go try my luck with my family – it’s my year after all!

    Pig should be thankful that it isn’t associated with Eat More Pork!

    I thought it was “Chinese embassy” spam calling pig about “expiring visa” or “important mail”.

    The crocs have delusional self fantasies of being dragons.

    The Chinese already buy our national debt, so why not our personal debt? They’re not much of a cheese culture, though.

    Don’t get a Tesla! If you do there is NO PLACE to service it. So pray that it works perfectly forever or you’ll be walking. But hey, walking is good for you and the environment.

    His mistake is confusing the item with the category. He’s a pig, not the pig concept.

    Does announcing the comic strip in which you appear constitute “breaking the fourth wall”?

    I was born in the Year of the Dragon. I understand (unlike Pig) that it symbolic, not literal.

    But I applaud Pig’s initiative in calling the Chinese Embassy. and displaying his ignorance. It takes a special kind of naiveté to do that!
