Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 11, 2020

No wonder things are so tenuous with Pigita.

“And I am unanimous about it!”

Sounds like he’s confused…

He should have signed it “Anthropomorphous”.

What’s worse? The absolutely gong word or the nearly rite one?

What did Pig what about to the newspaper?

Pig: “Also, I didn’t sign my real name”

Pig signed the letter to the editor “Androgynously yours, Rat.”

Pig is anomolous.

I thought he’d sign it “Delicious”.

Signed “eponymous”.

Did he write about the androgynous zone?

Okay, who gave Pig the dictionary?

I like “callipygous”. Encountered it in a book on music, which has its own meaning, but not in the sense of “What did he mean by that?” or “What does the word ‘callipygous’ mean?” Usually, I’m too lazy to get out the dictionary, but this time I did, and I’m glad! “Having well-shaped buttocks”.

Did you send it by mail or femail, Pig?

He also has an intervention planned to persuade Rat to join Alcoholics Androgynus.

Pig likes to keep us on our toes ! … Croc Power !

I wonder if Pig is right or left handed. Maybe he’s amphibious?:-)

I wonder what he wrote about.

I knew Pastis was old, but, egads! – letter?! newspaper?!

Stay tuned for the feature film version of this, Pig/Pigita.

They just sit there in the second panel.

This strip is always an education; saw that word and had to look it up before reading on to Goat’s explanation.

Pig is protesting again…..about stupid people being belligerent about wearing masks…if they only would stop making a world health issue a political issue….can’t fix stupid…

My sister got upset when I tried to compliment her about her new hairstyle looking like David Bowie.

Gender used to be binary, assigned at birth. Now we offer a gender buffet, and you can sample as many as you like. If you can’t find something that fits in our LGBTQQIP2SAA Cafe, feel free to ask for something special (stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex, pansexual, two-spirit (2S), androgynous and asexual). I think options and choice are better than binary assignment, but not everyone agrees.

I identify as human and let it go at that.

Mark Twain once suggested that you should “always use the right word and not its second cousin.” He also opined that the difference between the “right word” and the “almost right word” was the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.

So it’s no surprise that pig’s vocabulary is limited. But where is the joke/gag today?

What’s a newspaper?

I’m not going there . . .

They should stay six feet apart

His real name is “ampiguous” (sic).

What’s a newspaper?

Pig may be dumb, or “ignorant” if it makes you feel better, but at least he is distinctive!

I’m learning French so I can be bisexual.

we knew that
