Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Bob and Betty Bluebird. How goes it? Bob: Good, were forming a group dedicated to a non-violence. Here, have one of our hats. Pig: Well, thank you. How come you're forming a group? Betty: Because we're tired of all the violence in the world. All the wars. All the killing. It pains us greatly and it needs to stop. Pig: That's great. Bob: YEs, but there's lots to do. Today, we have to get our posters made and then go and get them shipped. Pig: You know. If you go to the shipping place downtown. They can do both those things. Then you can kill two birds with one stone. It was sad when they took the hat back.

Did they get that hat from The Penguin?

And to think Pig has misunderstandings with figures of speech.

Isn’t it funny how pigs always make birds angry?
Sherlock Watson over 9 years ago
Maybe those birds were inspired by Pig to go get stoned.

I’ve got a tough gang of vicious, snarling bluebirds who dominate the birdbath all day long!

It’s better to get two birds stoned at once.

So a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, until you kill those two with one stone…..

We don’t have bluebirds around here that I’m aware of, but as someone who’s actually watched doves interact, they’re a lousy choice for the symbol of peace. I’ve seen them peck each other bloody over access to a puddle of water.

I think Pastis was beating a dead horse with this one.

I’ve have come to delight in the people who comment on the strip and who clearly enjoy it as much as I. To all these I recommend a website called Tarzan’s Tripes Forever which I dip into from time to time. The site will introduce you to Feghoots, a character and type of shaggy dog story from a science fiction writer, Stanislaw Lem, who could have been nominated for a Nobel in literature. That is the only stone I think left unturned.

That’s quite a large hat for a bird that size to be casually carrying around.

Geez, Pig! you had one shot to repair the relationship between pigs and birds. Don’t be surprised if they start lobbing themselves into your house soon.

It’s so hard to be politically correct all the time. You never know who’ll take offence (sometimes on behalf of others even if unasked)!
