Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 08, 2022

Better than a carbon copy that smears ink.

It’s an illustration for his new book, Great Expectorations.

looks like Pog can hack it after all…

Glad it was a spitting image rather than an image that rhymes with spitting.

Aw, I thought that was rather cute of him.

His spitting image looks just like him.

The phrase is actually “spit and image.” Doug K is right—-it means looks just like.

It IS a weird/silly expression when you think about it.

PIG always gets into these messy scenes. Best not to think too much, PIG. It hurts your brain!

Pig is an artiste.

It was actually “spirit and image”

Love how every time Pig writes or draws he has ink on his face. So cute!

Well… he’s not wrong.

Rip the paper in half and you will split an image.

Sung to the tune of “Toreador” from Carmen:

♬ "Toreador, don’t spit on the floor…

..use the cuspidor…

…that’s what it’s for!" ♬

This made me laugh way too much.

Okay, this actually made me laugh. And come on, Rat! You gotta admit that that’s a good one!

Where are the alligators?

Spitting Image was also a very funny British satirical show. Long running but now cancelled, but worth looking up. Those of a certain age might remember the music video they did for Land of Confusion by genesis.

I’d spit on his image of I were reading by his in a newspaper. Don’t want to spit on my Kindle.

Spitting Image? Great show…..I’m off to youtube!!!

Now why did I think he meant splitting image?

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle….

Hehehe so punny

@StevenPastis: Self-deprecation so suits your brand of humor.

Spit on me Once….

This hasn’t been bad week when it ends with Pig being literal. May that well never run dry. Unfortunately, the well that is Rat being a cynic is VERY deep.

Sorry, Rat. Not gonna be me. Make a mess of my laptop.

PTUI! I spit in your general direction, Cartoon-Boy!

Pig is no lickspittle!

Ew.
