Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 20, 2018

I didn’t know Pig could draw so well.

Mmm, that umlaut looks tasty!

Is that a ham & cheese omelet?

Is Rat positive it’s an omelette and not an all yellow breakfast burrito?

Now I want a cheese and bacon unlaut.

I could go for a spanish umlaut.

An umlaut is for German. A diaeresis for French (since “naïve” is a French word).

Thus Pig combines innocence and tastiness!

I could go for a pig in a blanket right now!

i (or e for that matter) in German can never have an umlaut, anyway.

Dear Pigita,

Sorry that sometimes I’m too naïve. I’m gonna eat the German umlaut omelet I made as Rat has told me that I under duress for spelling naïve

I traded my Naive in for a German Umlaut, gets way better gas mileage and drives like a charm.

First use of the word “umlaut” in comic history?!?

Silly pig, you were supposed to draw a Danish prince.

That’s not an umlaut. Umlauts are ä, ö, ü. What rat means is a trema.

You know you’re talking to, Pig, right, Rat?

It sounds so angry when the umlaut is used…like irritable vowel syndrome.

Well, I don’t care what it is called or how you are supposed to use it etc., etc., — this comic is hilarious!

Can someone please fix the landing page of https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine ? It shows the MIDDLE of the comic, and before I can switch to the next page, I see the scenes out of order. Happens every time.

Some people need to get a life.

All this umlaut talk makes me want to dust off my Mötley Crüe records!

A friend of mine had to have diaeresis for years, until he had a kidney transplant…

Umlaut, omelette. Who cares? —Just get rid of that awful Pigita!

Thanks Pig for effortlessly overcoming Rat’s , er, assertiveness.

that is one ugly looking omelette.
