Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 23, 2020

Stephan, admit the truth and move on.

Is Rat writing Pig’s lines now?

And he needs to be reminded he has a wife every now and then.

Spouse was “working on Christmas Cards” and then suddenly, they were “already mailed out”. Didn’t even ask if I had somebody to add.

SECURITY! Someone stole all of the demo photos from the picture frames.

So Steph and Staci and married again.

Why does Rat look like Pig?

…sounds familiar.

Like the pretty girl’s picture in his wallet that came with the wallet!

More than likely Stephen never saw them!

This one made me laugh. Good show, Cartoon-Boy.

And Pig’s reading of his lines was perfect in just one take!

Hey, I resemble that remark! What’s wrong with dark little caves? :D

I would like to go back to my dark little cave now, too.

Hallmark Movie moment ! … Croc Power !

I love watching people open gifts from my wife and I. I’m just as surprised as they are.

Steph can still erase you just for that.

When did she let him back in the house?

You know what I would have liked for christmas? The kickstarter book, 4 years late.

It’s the stock photo art picture of a couple that was in a frame she bought for 39¢ at a yardsale.

She must have no sense of humor and belives Steph when he tells her he’s funny.

that’s snarkiness is something rat would say …

I wanted a nice photo of the boys for Christmas cards and stood them in front of the tree, but they were feeling silly and goofing off. So I said, “Ok, guys, pretend you like each other.” This caused a little giggling, but they mostly complained. I got a photo of the older looking nice, and the younger looking suspiciously at his brother. It was a great shot for the cards!

Stephen’s wife is a great woman. Stephen, on the other hand….

Pig caught him off guard…LOL

“You can go back to your dark little cave now.”

“No, Stephan. I’ve told you before – you cannot move in with me!”

I guess this is the way in a lot of households.

I didn’t get one?

I enclose a letter illustrated with photos. Only goes to selected recipients who appreciate it.

I expected that attitude from Rat, or Goat

At first I thought this was going to be a spoof of A Charlie Brown Christmas where he says to Violet: Thanks for the Christmas Card, Violet.”…

I send out the Christmas cards; this is usually more accurate for birthday gifts and such for the nieces and nephews.

He has a wife?!

That is them. Do not trust a man who doesn’t have his own cave wherein he hides from a multiplicity of annoyances. I bet Trump doesn’t. I bet they dream on and on about escaping back to their boyhood filled with idleness, and no adult woes.

Never mind, don’t answer that..,.

Sorry folks - deleted XXX-Rated photo. Ed.

I thought they were divorced?

He’s married? No way.

BUSTED!
