Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 31, 2017

Pig, get a new girlfriend.

Pigita should stop being such a tsundere when it comes to Pig’s misworded phrases.

Maybe he should have said he was going downtown to look at some G-strings and spend a few dollars.

PS: Bring back Sweet Fanny!

Makes A and E an’ he’s workin’ on B…

Get one for Pigita too.

If Pig was careful about the phrases he picked, he’d have less to fret about.

Pigita is too high-strung.

G-string jokes…classic guitarist humor!

What Pigita and PIg have is failure to communicate!

From the first panel I knew a pun was coming!

Oh Pig, you’ve done it again!

Or as Glen Campbell used to say “It’s embarrassing coming out here with a flat G-string. This is an ancient Chinese custom called Tun Ning,”

Pig and Tobias Funke would get along really well, minus the never-nude issue.

Pig studied language with Drax the Destroyer.

I’m sure he lost Pigita at “to get this girl”. Why would he be getting some girl anything?

I actually used for Gibson, Inc and worked a machine that wound G- [A,B,C,D.E. and F also] strings – for both guitar and banjo. And a few times for special orders, strings for a big, standing bass. [Those included a cotton core for strength – because of their length.]

off to the store with a thong stuck in his head…

Actually, well done, Pig! Maybe now Pigita will leave you (and us!) for good! And I do mean for good!

Little Jimmy Dickens covered this a long time ago:

Jenny needs a g-string, a g-string, a g-string,for her old guitar.Jenny needs a g-string, a g-string, a g-string,to get to be a star.

Now most humorous singers would have sang “guitar” last, but Jimmy didn’t want to sound R-rated for any longer than absolutely necessary.

If her guitar was tuned to Standard D the joke wouldn’t work.

Did Pig give Pigita the pearl necklace

I assume her guitar is tuned to standard E..

She should be put away for domestic abuse…

So what are they wearing here?
