Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 28, 2012

Uh… did Pig raid Jon Arbuckle’s drawer and closet?

Actually, research indicates that horizontally stripe attired people are perceived to have less weight than vertically striped ones.Which suits me, I adore women in stripes. Tight fitting plain black and white is the best.

All I can say is, WOW! Pig’s sartorial splendor leaves me speechless!

Let’s just hope that the crocs don’t mistake him for a new zeeba neighbor.

Pig has been barred! Stripes in a strip tease! I think several lines have been crossed with this cartoon.

Rat’s an *ss

You ever notice when Rat is actually meant to be helpful it always ends up like this. Most of the time Rat does this to Pig on purpose. But when he’s meant to be helpful it’s either Goat or Zebra (usually Goat) is there with the look Goat and Rat both have in the third panel. Or else the look is one of shock. No annoyed comment from them about not listening to Rat and no gloating from Rat.

Creepy-looking!

I dunno, fer some reason, pig in stripes reminds me of bacon . . . . . ☻

Okay, where is Rat with the bat.

Mmm! ,Pig in stripes!

I can’t believe rat was giving useful advice. Is he broken?

Those sure ain’t pickup lines.

I want one of those Skimmers.

He’s supposed to be fat. He’s a pig!

more crocs

Very fetching!

It would be Rat’s idea.

LOL xxx

Who is this girl? Can it be Fanny?

That outfit will sure get the chicks.

A pig in a burka? The mind boggles.

she’s gonna go horizontal when she sees him

this is so much better here, colored, than in the black and white newspaper. Love the detail, and the different colors of stripes.

If the outfit works for Pig, I might have to borrow it

Ya know he does look thinner…

Um, overkill?
