Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 15, 2014

I’m a fan of Epictetus:I prefer Breyers.

I am with Pig on this one, particularly if it is Ben&Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

It looks like Big Ice Cream was a little short in their product placement pay packet. JusSayin

All the above are heretics! It’s Blue Bell or nothing!

A philosophy that goes straight to your thighs.That’s where pig keeps his brains.

Vanilla. Especially Bluebell Homemade Vanilla. I like it plain, with chocolate syrup, or with a scoop of strawberry alongside.

The only true philosophy is Breyers French Vanilla. All the rest are but frozen dairy and non-dairy products and by-products..That’s Pig’s story.

Goat’s version is: Aristotle or nothing!

Chocolate mint!

How can you not see the wisdom in Tin Roof Sundae??? Seriously, people…

They’re both epicurean.

There are more things in heaven and Earth, Pig, than are dreamt of in your philosophy…Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla with chocolate and caramel syrup.

When things get really, really bad, nothing beats mint chocolate chip w/ chocolate syrup and me wrapped in a blanket curled up on the couch watching some silly movie.

I’m a Dairy Nondenominational. If it’s ice cream, I’ll eat it regardless of denomination.

Mango and vanilla ice-cream or any sorbet will do!

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that in Canada you can not get ice cream labeled “Made in Canada” because 100% of the ingredients MUST come from Canada………no coco or vanilla beans up there.

Has Pastis temporarily given up on puns? “Intellectually sound” is a very weak punchline. Normally, Pig makes some crucial error in using an idiom. Here, he’s just talking nonsense.

I find that those Nestle’s ice cream cones help. I can stop at one, but I don’t always choose to. Unless there’s only one left.

Where did pig find a gallon sized carton of ice cream these days?

@Neil FI’m not sure just how something that is notorious for brain freezes is “intellectually sound.” Maybe Pastis had a brain freeze when he tried to come up with a punchline for this one?

CROCS!

I eat, therefore I Ham.

Ooooo, brain freeze (apropos for pig)!Baskin Robbin’s Peanut butter & chocolate works for me.

I tend to agree with Epicurus in going whole hog for Island Licorice from Vancouver Island.

I’m all for Pig’s philosophy!xxx

Read the Bible…does explain why we are so wretched, why we are so selfish toward each other, and our eternal redemption which we celebrate this Christmas.

Trader Joe’s Ultra Chocolate!

Give me Gelato or give me death!

I ate ice cream before reading this.

True dat, Pig!

the drone from last strip will now drop a bomb on pig.

Mint chocolate chip for me. Cookies ’n cream is good to, but not as good.
