Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 05, 2022

And whiskey in a jacuzzi is as close as you’re going to get to nirvana short of dying.

Whoa. Isn’t drinking in bathtub dangerous and cause death?

I like pizza on a couch, myself.

A good glass of Barolo is the non plus ultra.

Just great. Now I have a vision in my head of a donkey in a bathtub.

I may have to vote for hot chocolate instead. Though maybe some of those fancy 1/2 ounce chocolate bottles of wine?

“says the Ass sitting on the hill”

And with a ggod book!

You would think pig would rather wallow in mud while drinking wine.

Pig be careful handling that wine – pouring the wine in the tub could aid in the marinating.

Done that many times. Very relaxing. A little medicinal smoke beforehand adds to the serenity of it all as well.

Right on Steph!

You should really keep the wine box next to the tub so you don’t have to get out for the refill.

He didn’t have to climb the hill to find that out. He could have just asked Janis.

Don’t forget the cheese.

I wonder where the bubbles came from?

18 year-old Glendiddich… aroma-therapy candles… soothing Classical music radio station… a favourite book… nice warm bath, hot water trickling from the tap, to keep it at the right temperature… My idea of the secret of happiness…

Miles of smooth ice, speed skates, and Glen Miller at high volume.

Drinking wine sounds more like a punishment to me.

Sometimes, it is : )

’Till the water gets cold.

For me thats jsut a huge headache

Drinking wine and gaming…

This is obviously a shout-out to Arlo and Janis.

I prefer bathing without drinking.

Works for me.

I love the fact that Stephan gets away with putting “wise ass” in a comic strip, just by making him a donkey.

I have occasionally enjoyed a tiny glass of Galliano while bathing.

If you swallow the rubber duck.

Well, back when I could safely get into and out of a tub, one of life’s greatest pleasures was sitting in a bubble bath with a lovely martini and a book (held by a tub tray). And a wonderful husband who would come in and top it off with hot water if it started to cool a little.

Whatever floats your vino….

The great philosophers apparently didn’t have bubble baths.

The true secret to happiness: comics.

A nice cheese plate and a good movie will do it, too. Ditto for a vodka cocktail and a fun video game.

Interestingly enough, according to dolphins, that’s what their God did on the 42nd day of creation.

Or in a hot tub with a bunch of pretty naked women AND wine….

Ah, I used to do that when I came home from work, and we had my Husband’s Grandma’s old whirlpool attachment ! It looked kind of like an outboard motor, and only fit in the big old claw tub.

I like this idea! I don’t remember the last time I drank OR took a bubblebath!

I don’t drink, and I hate long baths, they bore me, so I guess it’s some coffee sitting in front of my computer like right now. (I pause and sip my coffee.).

HE FORGOT THE PEPPERONI PIZZA!!!

My idea of heaven! Though on a cold winter night I prefer a nice warm saki.

Works for me!

I prefer shower beer. but to each their own

Note: Doesn’t work in the shower.

too funny!

Only red and man it sounds good. Darn Lent

A lot depends on how dep the water is…

Need your cheese Pig!!!!

Yeah, sucking those soapy bubbles up sure brings joy.

It’s nirvana because you don’t have to get up to pee.

If you don’t mind the wrinkly skin, I guess marinating in the bubble bath is not so bad. And wine makes everything better.

But I still say that the Wise Ass is not so wise….

In the second frame, pig’s center of gravity was clearly behind his back leg. I guess it’s handy that there was a tub full of soapy water at the bottom of the fall….

there is no hope for shower guy like me…

What about the North and South? Don’t they have religions and philosophies?
