Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 20, 2015

Think Pig is getting closer. Wonder what his next response would be.

No, Pig, it’s when you cook a tiger in a pot of boiling water and then serve it on an English muffin with some ham.

I know, I know. There’s really no such thing as a tiger egg.

Slice Tiger was the name of a restaurant near here once. Can’t remember what the proprietor told me was the significance to his culture…..?

Oh, lord, Pig is so ignorant [not the same as stupid, lest Pig-lovers attack me]! Bless you for your patience, Paris Goat!

you guys cut it out…or I’m tellin hobbes

Just goes to show that words have many different meanings…………. keep trying Pig you will get there.

Pig, and the crocs seem to share the same IQ

This is not funny!

If you’re man enough to kill a tiger with your bare hands, why would you need the equivalent of the “little blue pill”.

When you cook with tigers you have to start from scratch…

I prefer coddled eggs. “Nice egg, such a nice little egg.”

Normally Goat’s question in the second panel would be the height of arrogance, since nobody asked. In Pig’s case, it’s a perfectly safe assumption.

good point. in hebrew baitzim is the word for eggs, in slang the word for that part of the male anatomy. i take it this is not unique to hebrew. poached tiger “eggs” benedict yum!

Channeling his inner Charlie Sheen?As to the poaching epidemic, the same can be said about elephant and rhino. At the current rate of poaching, the rhino will be extinct. Some estimate that might be within 10-15 years.

it depends on whether the word is being used as an intransitive verb or a transitive verb pig. you are thinking of the transitive verb.

Don’t tell Calvin. . .

Goat can be such a condescending twit sometimes. If I didn’t and cared what tiger poaching was, I probably would have asked you self important boob.

Stupid question in the 2nd panel.

But that’s why I love this strip!

Reminds me of an old MAD Magazine article of poachers and pitchers. Wish I could find it online.

Not entirely true, he’s much brighter than Larry and the Eata Eata Zeeba crocs, most of the other crocs that have appeared are smarter than pig and humiliated to be associated with Larry and the fraternity. Especially Patty and Junior.

TIGER BENEDICT: You put a couple of poached eggs with a slice of TIGER on an English muffin with Hollandaise sauce! Also known as a Tiger McMuffin!
