Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 26, 2013

That’s why Ben Franklin was more of a father than George.

“I cannot tell a lie; I wish to do the wild thing with thee.”:Hmm… Wonder if that would work…

The GEICO commercial with Abraham Lincoln is funnier.

You can do better than that Pig.

There’s a difference between not telling a lie and saying everything that you’re thinking

Bet George would do okay handing out those rectangular pics of himself…

No cherries for George tonight.

I have no mouth …

It’s not necessarily an insult. Perhaps George’s tastes are similar to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s.

Somebody should throw a martini on Pastis.

too bad, in our current political climate, no one would vote for him as president. no nominations from any party. and, cable news will do their thing on him.

Well if you read much about Washington he was not the hero he was supposed to be. Pretty much promoted himself throughout his life and started stories such as the cherry tree to make himself look good.

Very funny, this has potential for a lot of funny strips

George was pretty chill for a slave-owner. He sure knew how to grow weed.

Was Steph trying to draw a certain “hipster” who’s birth name is Stephanie Germanotta?!?

@Bruno Zeigerts—George didn’t chop down a cherry tree…and he was allergic to cherries!

Besides, Neil Diamond did much better with cherry!

“Large” does not equal “bad.”

It’s worth noting that George Washington was known as being very flirtatious.

Waste of a good martini. A kick to the crotch would have done better.However it is best they not get together. She could get splinters.

You say it, Pig! No respect. ;)

Her derriere is NOT where his eyes are focused!!! . . . ☻

O_O whoa! that is one tiny shirt O_O

Makes me wish I could find my old Smothers Brothers LP. Tommy does a great interpretation of the cherry tree thing.

So, now Cartoon-Boy is calling himself “the Miracle of Comics”?! At least Pig reproves him for dousing the Father of His Country (a title that goes back to the Romans, BTW—pater patriae…) with a martini!I cannot tell a lie! (And if you believe that….)

I once saw a girl dump a whole pitcher of beer on a guy’s head, and no, it wasn’t me.

George needs to learn the words of Mr. Spock: “It is not a lie to remain silent.”

Love it!

To continue: bring on Sir Mix A Lot“George likes big butts and I cannot lie”“You other brothers can’t deny that when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist" and a round thing in your face."“You get sprung, wanna pull up tough“Cuz you noticed that butt was stuffed”“Deep in the jeans she’s wearing”“I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring”

Ben Franklin, the original “International Man of Mystery” was shagging his brains out over in Jolly Old England. He is what Austin Powers aspires to be…

I think Pig used too much sunscreen in panel 3

“Honey, does this dress make my rear look fat?”

“Does this shirt make me look stupid?”

“I can honestly say, no, it doesn’t.” (To myself): “It’s got nothing to do with the dress, sweetheart.”

Do not throw ales, booze, tequila, Chardonnay, vodka or definitely not a Molotov cocktail.

Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Hints about tomorrow’s strip!

Rat getting free dinner and Email! Spoiler Alert!

Pigs nose is white in the third panel

Why does the bar-maid look disturbingly like Donald Trump?
