Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 20, 2023

It’s official—Pig is in the closet.

There are no barriers against the world.

Pig is always depicted in this strip with one ear up and one ear down. But it’s not the same ear from one panel to the next. Is there some hidden significance to this that I arrived too late to know about?

If he fits in the closet, he’s not a hoarder.

Well, you do need to leave to eat, and the opposite.

He could. always hide under his bed covers. I’d prefer pigs in a blanket to pigs in a closet.

Surely in 2023 Pig doesn’t need to be in the closet?

Say hi to Binky.

Fake news. Pig isn’t gay and in the closet. He and Pigetta are an item.

Pig modeling his Aaron Rodgers.

Whatever works for you, Pig. As for me… well, I have a life to live.

…And this little piggy when into the closet…

Sorry Pig, ignoring the problems doesn’t really make them go away. Doesn’t seem to work with people either.

You need to get a life…..

Political humor is good [and good for you], but isn’t it also supposed to be funny. This strip used to be…

Pig needs to learn a lesson about the concepts of phrases.

Sometimes I feel like Pig, I just want to run away from everything going on in the world.

What if the house catches on fire?

PIG is afraid of his shadow..lol

Just drink your coffee…

Pig is trying to stay happy from last Friday.

Pig is onto something.

Hikikomori.

Agreed, and maybe it’s he who is the monster in there.

So Rat judges them both as crazy. I think it takes one to know one.

I think Binkley from Bloom County needs to talk to Pig about a non-anxiety closet.

While he’s in there he could get Tom Cruise’s autograph

Under the covers is far better to hide from the vile evils of this cruel world and this strip, why do I torture myself, why do I keep on reading it, day after day, week after week, I ask you, why? And who cares…

The key to happiness is … staying away from Rat.

With or without snacks?

I wish the crocodiles were in this strip more often. They are nice morons.

We all share a little bit of crazy.

Rat is just more up front in pointing at it….
