Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 30, 2021

What about that sideways horse’s head called Africa? Reminds me of a scene from The Godfather.

He should put up an Italy poster; he’d get a real kick out of that.

Why-oming does he have that? Tell me the Maine reason. Is he getting Ill-inois from that? Are-kansas you gonna take that thing down, Pig? I’d-aho get rid of it soon if I-o-were (Iowa) You-tah.

At least shave the beard off.

My stepmother is from Montana. I don’t think I’ve been there even the years way before I knew her.

Additionally… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOzCoXznfNo

We have a Montana poster who contributes to this thread, among others.

That poster trumps any other state poster he could have put up…

With global warming, Pig might consider getting an ARK-n-SAW

Ha, that’s pretty good. He should get one of the Dakotas, they’re pretty bland-looking.

Whatever Pastis has, you caught it.

Why did he put that up?

Well, go ahead Pig.

I never “noticed” that before. It’s like “I’m watching you, Idaho. I’m watching you, Oregon.” And now, “I’m watching you, Pig.”

Same thing with Germany, looks like a guy with a snub nose wearing a hat.

Poor Pig… he’s haunted

There’s that meme that shows how Alfred Hitchcock neatly fits against Minnesota. And the one where the Canadian maple leaf looks like two angry men, forehead to forehead, yelling at each other….

June 25 + 26 1876 ….. Custer’s Last Stand …. Little BigHorn River …. Montanna

Go a-head, Pig, but be careful…! :D

If you turn the map sideways, the Western Hemisphere looks like a duck.

I had plans of moving to Montana in my younger days. I was going to ride my pygmy pony and become a dental floss tycoon.

Well, maybe you could get a Joe Montana poster.

Why do I feel like someone is watching meeeee?

this one’s a butte…

Like the Dorchester gas tanks. Especially the blue stripe https://caughtinsouthie.com/arts-entertainment/tales-behind-tank/

Face it — it’s time.

Why does he look down on Idaho? I’d guess its all the Californians moving in.

Good fishing on the double chin.

Good work today guys, give yourselves a pat on the back.

That state is having record breaking heatwave for the first time ever

My home’s in Montana, I wear a bandana, My spurs are of silver, my pony is grey. While riding the ranges, my luck never changes-With boot in the stirrup I just ride away.

Looks like Alfred Hitchcock’s profile.

Montana’s one big @$$ state. Takes many days to cross on a bicycle.

Rat on the pillow watching TV. RAT ON THE PILLOW WATCHING TV.

I lived in Montana for 4 years in the 90s, loved it.

Big Brother is watching!

Yes Pig. We ARE judging you!

Did Tennessee what Arkansas when Mississippi went swimming?

He should not replace it with a Wisconsin poster either.

He’s gawking at Miss Idaho’s magnificent Rockies

Lower left corner looks like Trump.

Ok…

“Gonna be a dental floss tycoon…”

Post No Bills

And why do you have that?

Paint it blue and put it on the ceiling.

Try a poster of Wales Pig, it resembles the ears, snout and jowls of a pig.

Is that Richard Nixon?

oh Pig, you’ve never noticed the Old Man of the Mountains before? i think he’s my spirit animal, even though i (sob! weep! lament!) don’t live in sweet Montana any more.

At first, I didn’t get the joke, but when I realized that the lower left side of Montana really does look like the side of a man’s head, I understand it now. But boy is that poster going to kick you in the Butte.

LOL, I love the subtle political humor.

Nixon

As a Helena resident, I say leave it up. It is the best state, after all.

Second panel looks more like Trump….which would be more topical than Nixon

Why take down a poster of the greatest state in the Union? Even California has banned us! What could be better?

Is it Montana or is it a Richard Nixon Pez Dispenser?

Excelent

looks like a bowlegged cowboy

Don’t let the poster get you down, Pig!

—Even if it is huge, all black but for the label, and has a western edge looking suspiciously like a face staring you down….

Wut

I thought that the Old Man Of The Montana fell down years ago.
