Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 20, 2013

Pig is too funny, and too literal.

Wounder what kind of ice cream “chunky monkey”?

Pig – Take a banana & split…

Someone needs to enunciate, someone needs to clean out his ears. And someone may need a new curtain-rod….

Oh, good grief!

Amazing. I didn’t even know that gibbons eat ice cream.

That’s funky, Gibbon.

Be glad he’s not a taking it as a bonobo, Goat…

ok I laughed out loud for this, usually I just grin or chuckle, but today you got a guffaw

Pig, stop monkeying around.

..someone is in a rut…

I hope that’s ice cream on the floor.

Gibbon’s Beer (don’t know whether it still exists) used to have two gibbons as mascots. They would sit in the cage and swill the product. Sometimes swing while swilling.

so stupid but funny

At least he didn’t take it a a ‘gibbous’… I don’t know how pig would have imitated a gibbous moon…

Put some rhesus pieces on that ice cream.

Take the Ice Cream, leave the rod.

I saw a misspelling once, “orange-utan”; I have never been able to get the image out of my head.

Goat won’t ever say that again. It’s a sure bet.

@corzak;

You win.

Goat, don’t just make Pig go home, make him mop your floor on which he’s dripping ice cream.

No wonder this is a Saturday strip.

And now for a musical interlude: “Gorilla My Dreams.”

Those of you who get the Sunday comics on Saturday, check out tomorrow’s “Non Sequitur.”

Was there ever a sillier comic than “Pearls”?

Very cute!

Dumb. Gibbon and given don’t even sound alike.

Thanks Pig, me want banana too…

Hey! Misunderstanding is truth, and understanding is a lie. The rest is unreliable! So. There!

Are you sure he didn’t hear it as “Take it as a croc”?

Must be rum raisin.

Stick around! This is one of the better ones!

Can I ape Pig?

I’m actually surprised that Goat, being Goat, didn’t say to Pig, ‘Yes, you CAN, Pig. But, NO, you MAY not’!!
