Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 10, 2024

If nothing else, good place to take an afternoon nap.

When pigs fly.

Who doesn’t larva good nap?

You can buy butterfly wings at the Halloween store, but they don’t work.

Sorry, Pig; you are what you are.

Look out Pog, when pigs transform into something wonderful it usually means bacon!

Pig is hoping to eventually demonstrate that pigs really can fly!

Pig identities as a BUG

Ray Bradbury wrote a short story about this. I think it was Bradbury. Long time ago.

I’ve heard of the butterfly effect. I can only hope the pig effect means a bacon tornado.

He would turn into a baconfly.

Quite a trick Pig!

Just don’t Pupa in there Pig!

As long as you don’t end up getting mothballed, Pig.

Butter chicken is deeleeshus. Me wonder how butter pig be.

Well, it seems to have worked in 2008 … www.gocomics. Com/ pearlsbeforeswine/ 2008/ 04/ 28

Dream big, Pig.

behave like bee hive

A butterfly of that size would be terrifying!

Until some kid comes along and says, “Oh look, a piñata!”

[becomes antisocial butterfly overnight]

A flying pig? Sounds pretty cool.

Delenn on Babylon 5 spent the last few episodes of Season 1 and the first. of Season 2 in a chrysalis.

Easier – yes.

more effective – no.

Poor Pig is going to be in a world of hurt when the hornets come to take their hive back.

He comes out looking like Wilford Brimley

Poor Pig! Some desires can’t be obtained.

Well… you tried.

Pig is taking the easy way out to changing his life for the better. He’ll be there a while and realize nothing will change unless he vacates the cacoon.

& then there’s Kafka….

Oh, I thought that Pig was trying to hide from the world again

If only, Pig.

Hope blooms eternal, eh Pig?

Butterflies are fragile. Do rhinoceroses hatch?

The elevator was broken. I had to take the steps.

Unfortunately, word has already gotten around to the lepidopterists. They’re coming with huge nets.

That is one sturdy limb on that tree!

Rat,Goat, back away,That isn’t Pig, it’s an invasive Body Snatcher,Pod pig.

Never met a morphosis I didn’t like.

believe it or not, I once saw it on an episode of Kablam! a long time ago.

Nothing like a shortcut when it comes to life improvement.

does he realize his body would dissolve and then reform

Well, cocooning works for me!

One morning, when Gregor Pig woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed into a pupa.

If the transformation doesn’t work out, go for a good hibernation. I swear, one of these years I’m going to manage it.

For the record, I’ve heard that the butterfly used to be called the flutter-by, until some letters switched …

Pig is eccentric, to say the least. Besides, everyone knows, pigs can’t fly, and Pig will never become a social butterfly!
