Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 02, 2013

Or at least a segment of one. Ewww!

One good thing about today’s strip:

NO RAT!

I wonder how well will Goat’s Parisian trip will go compared to Zebra’s trip to a small island with only an unhelpful, snooty, disappearing female bartender.

Pig, always thinking of his fellow creatures…

It’s been established that Goat’s real name is Paris; do you suppose his last name is Cite?

Pig always thinking of yucky things . . .

Well then, you guys, we shouldn’t make assumptions…Maybe he’s not even going to France.

Maybe he’s just going to see places from his own life….

“Paris sites” like his birthplace, his Mom’s house, his old grade school…. the restaurant where he went with the first girl goat he ever dated ….oh… wait….that hasn’t happened yet.

Pig is about as dense as a US Rep trying for the 48th time to repeal Obamacare

I’m just wondering what it is that Goat does that he can even afford a trip to Paris.

I guess well see, Germany will be easy.

Paris is dressed for Paris, France, with his beret and scarf. I wish him well—he certainly deserves a good vacation after all the abuse he’s taken in the strip, mainly from Rat. As for Pig, I guess raw pork could end up hosting a tapeworm, but I’d really rather not see it….

Next character on PBS: Pig’s Tapeworm?

First time I ever read Why’s in a sentence..What a wise guy Stephen is.

I would have expected Pig to show him a trichina worm.

Pigs are known to host parasites such as trichinosis, cysticercosis, and brucellosis, as well as large concentrations of ascarid worms in their digestive tract.I’ll comment more on this later . . . after I finish this ham and bacon breakfast. Along with a few under-cooked leftover pork chops.

And when in Italy buying a rare vase, watch for those Rome Ming charges.

@Jerry Kelly—that comparison is VERY demeaning and unfair…to Pig!!

There is also a Paris Texas

Pig thinks Goat is going to wall street

Well, we went through a segment where Stephen insertedmhimself into his cartoon. Then we had a polar bear in Antarctica, and now we are finally back to his normal story lines. Or are we??

Don’t know where we are but I love these little fellows.

I have been to Paris.I have to warn you: full of French people.

Love it Love it Love it!

Thank god there isnt any Romesites because Im seeing them

“We’ll always have Parasites…” Is that what they meant by “a beautiful friendship”? ( Good one!) Here’s looking at you, Pig!
