Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 28, 2012

Be careful not to bruise the bacon.

hahaha…i love pig :D

Usually they just play jai-alai; Pig says “Hi,” and Rat says a lie.

Pig should be thankful Rat doesn’t suggest playing “doctor”.

Now I have to paddle you because you made me paddle you,

Sometimes, even I can’t like Rat’s m.o.

Why does Pig even have a paddle?

I the U.S. we usually call it a paddle…. but I’d say Rat has quite a racquet going on.Haris — maybe he’s allowed to duck and cover.(If he’s allowed duck, though, he needs Guard Duck, not that little wooden thing.

yeh, when is his turn?

Rat is the ultimate Ponger pretending to be a Pinger. As Pig’s too naive for his own good, it seems it’s time Goat takes the paddle from him and uses it on that giant ping pong ball at the end of Rat’s face. Then uses it on Rat’s head.

F65Hellcat, you’ve named yourself well…….

“Now I have to paddle you for asking.” Rat is starting to sound like my wife.

Yeah, beating up of people who can’t fairly respond…it’s almost conservative. The beginning, anyway.

Rat is such a rat! He layeth the smack on Pig, who doesn’t even know he’s being jobbed. When the Ponger pings the Pinger, Justice Will Be Served!

Sometimes I feel like the pinger.

Pig should use his big ears as paddles. One for ping the other for pong.

But can you build a quick trick brick stack?

I say we put Rat in a room with Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris and let him start insulting the three of them… I’d pay to watch.

I think it would funny if Stephen added a cat.

It takes balls to play ping-pong with rat . . . ☻

Rat’s next game: Kng Kong playning Ping Pong with his Ding Dong

Pong was my first video game.

Those “Fox in Sox” references remind me that when my nieces and nephews were little I used to read that to them BACKWARDS. (Which is a very tough challenge….)

..love it…

Trust Rat to find an evil spin to put in the game.

rat needs to be in trap, if only for a short time, so he comes to his relisations that others maters

RAT’S AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the sudden urge to “PONG” Rat. I get the feeling Goat, and even innocent Pig, would back me up, too.

Who’s with me?

Pig is asking to be a pinger, but that is what he has been. Must be the blows to the head have confused him.
