Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 31, 2021

You can get locks for your refrigerators on Amazon.

Sometime Truth hurts.

At least you found out about your missing food. You also can tell the truth about your April fools

Goat already knew that.

Goat says, “I think I need better friends.”

I’m with Goat in the final panel.

I think I better not speak to anyone all day.

Uh, those weren’t exactly cheese…

No, Rat. Truth is rare a precious. Don’t spread it around like that.

Reminds me of an episode of THE WIZARD OF ID:

King (to Sir Rodney): “Go tell my subjects that this is National Truth Week… a week in which everyone says exactly what he thinks!”

Sir Rodney (with a smirk): “Is that an order, fink?”

(Sir Rodney ends up in the dungeon.)

This holiday doesn’t really do anything for me; I say true things all the time.

BTW, I have no idea who chopped down the cherry tree, and this isn’t my hatchet.

March truth: My real name isn’t Aldew Yellowson. So if you’re trying to find out my true identity, that narrows down the possibilities to 7.674 billion people.

Rule #1: NEVER celebrate “March Truths” with Rat.

Does Rat think this is like “Truth and Reconciliation”?

Goat had multiple cheese balls?

“No, dear, your new jeans don’t make you look fat. Your azz makes you look fat. The jeans are doing all they can to contain the spill.” (stolen from jeff foxworthy)

That is actually a pretty good idea though it would never really work because too many people generate their own version of the truth (present company included at times I am sad to admit)

Your picanic baskets and foods didn’t just disappear. I steals em and eats em.

Please let it catch on in Washington!

Trump would be dead from exhaustion by the end of the day!!!

Truthiness just Marches on!

Goat: My turn: I had replaced the beer with old urine and the cheese balls came from between my toes.

It’s easy to believe Rat when it involves quasi-criminal activity.

From this fateful day on, March 31 became a popular date to start new wars.

Warning: Be careful what you say and to whom you say it. There may be some consequences. (I’m particularly saying this with Rat in mind.)

Today’s strip was not funny. March truths.

I’m in: “Hey, tRumpkins. You’re all a bunch of morons”.

And this comic strip sucks! :D Hey! Let’s do that more often. It is fun!

Beware of the Ides of March ! Although today is late for the Ides ;-(

And I stole all your cheese!

That dumb Pig just had to observe Truths Day too.

The words “truth” and “fact” are not synonyms. I really, really wish people would look this up.

I miss Snuffles.

The earth is round, and revolves around the sun! Covid is real! Vaccines work and are safe!

This is of course a parallel to Hallowe’en and All Saints Day. Except in Stephan’s case, the good day comes before the bad day. And that is March madness.

… I like Pastis Puns. March Truths!

I am sick to death of this whole “woke agenda” nonsense! March Truths!

Pig and Goat has MALE cheeses?

You won’t find many politicians speaking on this day!

I feel bad for Goat here.

On April 1st 1952 I arrived at the Navy Training Center, Great Lakes Illinois for my first day of boot camp. That’s an April Fool’s day I will never forget!

Trump would really suck at this game.

Truth be told, I envision a few problems with the concept…..

“We penguins don’t really like sub-zero temperatures” (My truth for today)

Reminds me of Mark Twain’s claim to be the moral superior of George Washington. Washington said, “I cannot tell a lie.” Twain said, “I can, but sometimes I choose not to.”

NO NO NO!!! NOT THE CHEESE BALLS

Does March Truths Day come with absolution for the sinner? Or at least a head start before you get beaten up?

Is Trump still locked in a rubber room and straitjacketed?

“And I took all your retirement fund. That’s not what this is for?”

After these examples of truth, it’s time for Consequences Day.

Steven, I don’t really like your cartoons, but I do admit they are clever and I’m addicted.

Truth be told, most people are hypocritical eejits unworthy of my respect. Fortunately, you’re not one of them yet.

Rat: And I’m gonna make from you bacon.

And the dinner you cooked last night was really awful.

I hacked your go comics account. MARCH TRUTHS

March Truths Day might not always go so well for you, Rat and Pig!

Poor Goat is too timid to take any action this time, though….

I bet in a future comic rats going to finally burp when he drank all of beer

C’mon, this totally uproots the moral and ethical facets of Rat’s character!

Pig ate Goat’s balls?
