Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 12, 2012
Transcript:
Chef: Can I help you? Pig: Yeah. Gimme a triple bacon cheese burger. Chef: Anything else? Pig: How 'bout a large order of chili cheese fries. Chef: Sure. Is that all? Pig: Throw in a salad with chunky blue cheese dressing. But make sure it's lowfat. I'm trying to lose weight.

Pig forgot the Diet Coke…

It’s still weird that Pig is eating bacon. Though it is very good…
Harryfan over 11 years ago
The Diet Coke washes all that fattening stuff right through you.

Is Pig going cannibal? He’s having a burger with BACON! But if it’s turkey bacon, never mind.

If Pig’s order was to go, it would be a heart attack in a sack.

Pig’s eating bacon?

I remember when Potsie did this gag with Al on Happy Days … albeit without the cannibalism angle.

I wonder what Pig thinks bacon is?
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
Yes, yes, Pig loves bacon! (I suspect he doesn’t know whence it comes.) And, yes, the diet Coke is the clincher in this deal. But Pig’s heart is in the right place—for now….

The first ever (I think) Pearls treasury was subtitled “BLTs Taste So Darn Good”…
That was Pig’s excuse for eating them… and he’s munching one on the cover.

Just stop using the shampoos that promise “extra volume.” After all, if you get it on your body below the neck, you know what to expect, don’t you!

I bet a real pig would eat bacon..

That sounds like my sister. Get a third of a pie or cake, round over a ceral bowl with ice cream, get three helpings of a meal all at once on one plate, then eat it with a baby spoon because shes “trying to loose weight.” Then pig out on junk food between meals and not understand why she’s not loosing the weight.

Pig eating bacon is no more grotesque than the entire premise of Ham Shears.

You should see Pig eat pork sausage on ground hog day.

Pig sounds like my sister (exact same modus operandi-“But I’m on a diet!” Suuuuure you are…).

There’s something very wrong about Pig eating bacon.

Number Three over 11 years ago

Don’t lose weight. You have to keep your baco… uh, strength up.

I could stand to lose some weight. I think I will try pig’s diet.

That’s cannibalism, Pig!

I jest don’t get it – - everyone’s upset over pig eating bacon! What about the HAMburger!!!! And he should have lite beer for a chaser . . . ☻
Defective Premium Member over 11 years ago
I’m not sure what’s wrong with Pig eating Pig anyway. IRL, animals are given feed that includes animal parts all the time. How do you think mad cow disease spreads?

pig is a cannibal
cyberguy over 11 years ago
Oh, pig knows where bacon comes from. He’s looked at packages of bacon, checked the date, and said something like ‘oh, that’s aunt and uncle so and so’. A variety of his relatives have ended up in their fridge, and I believe he has still eaten some of them

No pig, not the bacon!

This is like a cutaway gag they had on Family Guy; a fat woman takes a sip of diet cola, then says, “Now I can eat anything!”

Here’s the ultimate diet plan: You can eat whatever you want, as long as you eat it while standing naked in front of a full-length mirror.

“Welcome to McDonald’s, whaddya want?” “I’ll have, uhhh, five quarter pounders with cheese, but low-fat cheese.” “Anything else?” “Yeah, nachos with extra cheese, uh, and, hmm… maybe a salad for the side? I’m trying to lose weight.”
