Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 01, 2013

YOLO

TMI, Pig. That’s not what Goat wanted to know.

Goat, you REALLY need to start thinking of how to word your questions to Pig.

You can’t help but smile….

Oh Pig, why are still seeing that Pigita. She is bad news. There are better prospects.

Hmmm, I never actually thought that they ever kissed. He seemed so naive.

But did lightning strike….?

Innocent little Pig, making out?

Pig got farther at a drive-in than I ever did.

Okay at this point I’m ready to make pig into bacon.

now we know that pig has gotten to second base….

Kids……….don’t watch

Hmmm….this little piggy isn’t as innocent as I thought.

good for pig….making out with his girl.

“How did you make out” has the same meaning as “How did it go” or “How was it”. The other meaning of “making out” is all the things (Kissing, fondling etc) the are the lead up to sex. Hope this helps.

This comic is now rated PG-13.

Think it’s a joke? Wait and see if we don’t have comic ratings soon.

Drive-ins still exist? I think all the ones in Florida have closed, now existing as strip malls or housing developments.

When Goat asked, “How did you make out?” he was asking what they did when the storm hit. Did it ruin their date? That’s what he intended by “How did you make out?” Pig assumed that Goat was asking how the two of them kissed. “Making out” means “faring.” It also means “intimate kissing.”

I grew up (outside of the U.S.) familiar with the first definition, as in “what happened?” Then I went to college in the U.S. — a “Bible college”, no less — and almost every time I used the expression there (innocently, like Goat), someone was sure to make some kind of suggestive comment about it. I learned to avoid the phrase.

April Fools! Right, Pig? Pig doesn’t even talk to Pigita any more…right? Right???

BartJ, “How did you make out?” just means “How did things go? What was the result?”

Goat, being the nerd he is, has never gotten that far with the opposite sex, and is genuinely confused.

Arrgh! Pig! How dense can you be? And why, why, why do you persist with that no-good Pigita? Is it just because she gives you some lip-and-tongue action? Oh, Piggy, Piggy….

I’ve been using a variation of that joke for at least twenty some odd years. It can be very versatile depending on who you’re with and what you were actually doing. :-P

It’s just a question basically asking “How did things work out?” or “How did it go?”

Hope that helps. :-)

I don’t understand why so many people are still explaining it after Bruno Z. did.

That dumb Pig went a little too far with that explanation, not so much though, at the drive-in.

Wow, I wouldn’t have pictured Pigita getting even that far with Pig. Must have been her idea.

Snout to snout?

pig needed to tell some one.

I remember Honor. We lived in Interlochen. Had a job site in Benzie Co. Seems there was only one traffic light in the whole county if I recall.

GO PIG!!! GET YOU SOME!!!

@BartJ385, Goat was asking how Pig was during the storm

The tongue comment was over the top for a , uh, family strip. On second thought, why stop there?

Finally someone tells Goat how to kiss.

I bet he starts dating now.

We are fortunate enough to have TWO family owned drive-ins locally. They have great double features and pack them in all summer. You have to get there early to get a good spot. Trucks in the back.

TMI

TMI

WOW! You guys are making me – ummmm – want to go to a drive-in.

Way to go Pig!

I hope you and Pigita last a very, very long time, Pig.

(Cough!)

LOL xxx

Pig, Pig! You the Man!

Well…all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Presumably, all pornographic movies do include making out (I’ve never actually seen one, but I assume so). However, there are plenty of instances where making out can be shown in a non-porno situation.

You gotta love Pig’s literal replies.

“How did you make out?” means “What happened? Is everyone okay? Was anyone or anything harmed?”

More tan I needed to know…

I loved the drive-in.

The very first time they’ve kissed.

I know pig likes bacon, but… PIG’S TONGUE?????

When fooling around at the drive-in, keep your foot off the brake pedal. The flashing annoys the cars behind you.

At least he got some tongue!

The Cherry Bowl closed? Say it isn’t so! I’m so sorry to hear about the owner! I grew up going there a few times every summer, and took my kids there, too. We haven’t been up that way since 2010, and that was just for a weekend. I’m heartbroken. Such a precious memory. I hope the community can rally to save it.

I actually know folks who are like Pig. Really.

I am mortified.

Goat means, “How did you guys manage to watch a movie at a drive-in in the middle of a storm?” The term “make out” in this instance means to get something done.

“How did you make out” could also be said “how did you fare?” it means how did you do/how was it/…

winces TMI Pig, TMI.
