Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 21, 2011
Transcript:
Rat: Why is it that all of us characters have to appear in this comic strip without clothes? What am I, eye candy for millions of lascivious readers? Pig: I guess it's just because we're animals and we're not expected to wear clothes. Rat: Yeah, well I don't care. It makes me mad, and that's why I'm doing something about it. Pastis: Give me my pants now. Rat: Come and get 'em, cartoon boy. Pig: Hey, look! I'm a Stephan!

A veritable instant classic, Naked Man! This is really hilarious! Can we all be Stephans, along with our ideal, Pig?

Luckily, Stephan has a pen, and a huge wardrobe he can draw on.

I think maybe he’s hiding the fact that, being Greek, he’s… ahem…… not a natural redhead.

This strip seems to be a direct result of yesterday’s when one commenter remarked that Pig usually doesn’t wear clothes except at the beach.

I know I’m heartily sick of linoleum everywhere today.

Pig looks cute in a t-shirt!

One has to wonder how they got Stephan naked. Did they steal his clothes while he was in the shower? Or did Rat manage to overpower him (using his banjo as a weapon)?

Wow. Pig’s UNO-boob gets covered up!

I thought that’s why they called it a comic strip?

Mark Twain said, “Clothes make the man. Naked people rarely have much influence on world history.”

I think I should add, Stephan is smoking!
Not, that is, that he’s attractive. He’s got a butt in his mouth!

“No naked humans in comic strips..” Actually, wasn’t it Stephan who got Ziggy to finally wear pants for once in his comic strip? I can’t remember when that was, but it was hilarious since the Zig never wears pants. Also, daily reader here just don’t comment much, but I just HAD to check out the comments because I knew that at least one person would say something about the smoking! Oh come on, like anyone is going to be influenced to smoke because Rat and Stephan do, “It must be cool!” :P
maxjaja over 12 years ago
Did ziggy start the protest on other characters to be on no pants?
dougbalcom over 12 years ago
What I’d like to know is, what’s that pink lump that shows through the hole in the “back” of Stephan’s hat above pig’s forehead? Both of pig’s ears are accounted for, and his head isn’t (normally) shaped in a way that would put any skin up there.
Does pig suddenly have a scalp tumor? No wonder he needed to borrow the hat.

Just as long as it’s not Jerry from “Dinette Set”!!!!

You can’t blame the rat. He thought Stephan said, “Give me my plants!”
tegm over 12 years ago
The plant is in the way.
burleigh2 over 12 years ago
My question is how in the world Rat got all those clothes off of Stephen without a fight… :-s

Er… it was neither France nor Finland. The RUMOR was that it was Finland, but in reality all that happened was a few cities in Finland, during a financial pinch in the 1970’s voted to discontinue buying Donald Duck comic books for youth centers to save money to go towards hobby and sports publications. But, you know… we keep on repeating the same old ‘facts’ with certainty that they are true.
