Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 13, 2015

I’ll drink to that.

Today’s background music: “Any Way You Want It” by Journey.

why does Zebra not have black stripes on his face? The zebra skin on my wall has black stripes everywhere

Dan…for the same, very scientific, reason he has a big round snout…. which may or may not be flat like a pig’s… and floppy ears.

In fact, it’s the same reason he wears a suit, and speaks English….

You see, he’s not like the zebras you catch in Freddy Beach….He’s not Equus Hippotigris, at all…he’s Equus StephanPastis …and he only lives in this one cartoon.

I kinda thought he’d have more of a “Blues Brothers” black-and-white thing happening…..

When it comes to “mating season” I don’t believe in miracles, I depend on them.

What’s “it”? Oh, gawd, has it been that long?!

Is that “Dear” or “Deer” Season ?…….

Let us pray.… Reminds me, I need a new suit….

Is he going to date a penguin?

Johnnie Cochran lives!

Humans do indeed have a mating season. It begins each New Year’s Day and ends on December 31!

Exactly.

Am 80, and still waiting for that call.

Some of us do have an off season (for semi-serious dating), it last from November thru March. That way you don’t have to buy gifts or visit other’s families from Thanksgiving , Christmas, New Years, and Valentines Day.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. We all know how the dance will turn out.

Needs to lose that hairstyle (now figure out who that refers to).

That’s not a real zebra? You’re kidding!

I pity the fool who puts down a Mohawk!But seriously, pun addicts, if you are not getting enough pun-ishment from Mr Pastis, try doing the daily jumble game like I do, sometimes I groan all day!

@dblasseter74—No, but Zebra does have the hots for Fish Mooney!

….and it gets worse AFTER marriage.

This is so funny, I just want to sit here and laugh at it all day.Seriously!! Keep’em coming, Stephan.

Definitely a prayer!

Weird coincidence: I got this strip late last night, and last night there was a new episode of Elementary whose plot involved two pregnant zebras.:Has Zeeba been getting to know the neighbors?

I don’t have a prayer.

Such is life…

I can’t believe they got away with this joke! =D

The world would be a lot more interesting if humans had a once-a-year mating season involving elaborate dances and a wildebeest-style migration

Not only that, but human mating traditions comprise of going on a date with your loved one and then getting constant loudspeaker noises from then one because you forgot your spouse’s birthday.
