Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 12, 2015

The dog looks and sounds like Snoopy’s evil twin.:Is Neighbor Bob’s last name Brown, by any chance?

Dogs do like bacon.It’s true.I read it on the interwebs.

Really think Pig should keep an eye on that dog, though.

To be fair, the exchange rate of bacon to soul is at an all time high.

im sure rat is on top of it

The man-dog contract is simple: the dog needs to be convinced that by sticking with you his FUTURE bacon is profuse, continual and guaranteed.

what’s a rasher?

I have had great dogs, bad dogs, crazy dogs, stupid dogs. But I have never, ever had a disloyal dog.

I rasher be in Texas!

I’m pretty sure that dogs aren’t supposed to eat pork.

It’s Limerick Day! here’s one worthy of Pastis…

If you catch a Chinchilla in ChileAnd cut off its beard, willy-nillyYou can honestly sayThat you have just madeA Chilean Chinchilla’s chin chilly.

I would trade Bob’s soul for a strip of bacon.

what is with dogs and squirrels? and, dogs when they lay down for sleep, they walk in a circle? and, dogs and their fascination with balls?

and, dogs and their phobia of thunder and vacuums?

1. I asked Google what a rasher of bacon was, and found that this fit in with the mainstream of answers: “A thin slice of fried or broiled bacon. 2. A dish or an order of thin slices of fried or broiled bacon. [Origin unknown.] American Heritage® Dictionary of the English …”2. Cute limerick, kea! This needs more revision, but I amended the short lines to “You can let it be said/That you have just maid,” but that most likely detracts from the closing punch line. Um, just forget what I said . . .

Reminds me of Duke the dog from the Bush’s Baked Beans tv commercials: willing to sell-off the ‘old family recipe’ at any price.

other minuses: noise, stink, expense, worse than having a homeless person camped on your front porch…

Most dogs I know forgive the stink of their owners…….

i think that applies to any number of people as well. they wouldn’t sell their own souls, but one of their nearest and dearest in exchange for bacon——well……

That’ll be the day when my dog gets access to my soul!

Well, in the dog’s defense, it would prove nearly impossible to find any carnivore who wouldn’t betray you for a strip of bacon.

I’d like to think my price is a little higher – 3 strips. Does that make me morally superior?

He says in front of the pig…

Dogs are way better than cats!

For many reasons.

Neighbor Bob has balanced up the plusses and minuses of having a dog for a pet and has a dog. Maybe Neighbor Bob is wising up and won’t be so quick to join the many non-quick Neighbors Bob….Did someone say bacon?

there is something about the smell of bacon. it almost never tastes as good as it smells

If your dog is like this, I feel sorry for you. It’s not typical.

True

Very true

Very very true

Don’t tell your dog Pig is made of bacon.

This was a garfeild joke
