Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 12, 2017

Here’s Pig’s consolation prize: he is better liked than Rat or Larry.

I wonder how many people reacted to the sign in panel 7 by saying, “I am not! How dare you say such a thing!”

Homer: “Mmmm… bacon”

Spam?

Pig go listen to Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side Of The Moon” then try again :-)

I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW the answer to Rat’s question.

I love you, Pig, No matter how matter how dumb you’re

Panel 11: Never Mind!

Panel 12: Free Bacon!

“Just leave me alone.”

Pig just needs a hug. Everyone go hug someone who needs a hug today. (With their permission of course, I will not bail you out if you end up in jail.)

Brace yourself for nothing, Pig.

Well, there’s “Don’t Kick Me,” and “Don’t Kick Me Hard,” and “Don’t Keep Kicking me.”

.Hey! It’s just like those Facebook people.

It’s funny because it’s true!

Next lower step? The realization that no one is even reading your signs.

and sadly he’s not even charging for hugs.

Please acknowledge my existance.

Mr. Pig, I like you even though you’re not real.

I don’t care what people think of me.

I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I’m not.

Ah, Pig! The solution to your loneliness is NOT to prostitute yourself to the heedless masses. Especially not when you’ve got a community of mainly sympathetic PBS fans here right in front of your Fourth Wall!

Hey guys! After reading the new Pearls Before Swine treasury Pearls Takes a Wrong Turn, I decided to read all the PBS comics in 2017, with some of my comments. Remember, I was reading all the 2018 comics during the big half-year of Big Nate reruns, so I decided to read the 2017 comics to complete my PBS reading history (I already had every single PBS collection at one point). This might take a few days, but it’s worth the long time. Anyway, it’s reading time!

He’s in Limbo.

I love you Pig!

er… Sadness limbo?

Next sign: “acknowledge me”

How low? “I’ll pay you to pretend to like me.”
