Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 04, 2021

Call Goat and have him bring over a pizza.

Rat and Pig have been going to bed together a lot lately. Makes me wonder . . .

Jeez, this strip is depressing

Hmmm, Never thought about it this way pig.

And you may get the sheets wet.

Where does the second pillow come from?

A good excuse for never having to make the bed.

Y’all sure are spending a lot of time in bed lately. I’m impressed.

Nothing else mattress to you, eh?

At least Rat has a supply of bacon and pork chops!

Pig nice to see you took your Debbie Downer pills again ! … You may sleep all you want after you are turned into bacon ;-) … Croc Power !

I really don’t like hanging out in bed. I hang out on my sofa.

Someone else put it this way, “Every day I spend 16 hours getting ready for bedtime.”

we all have days where we wanna just stay in bed. but we push on, to get stuff done; even if it’s only to read the comics.

That’s OK. Rat can live off bacon until help arrives.

so, feel comfortable using a diaper?

What happened to noteman?

And may also wet the bed

I felt that way this morning, but I don’t want to starve.

Well have to take turns to get food……Oy I hate crumbs in my bed….

So we don’t get hungry.

Just leave instructions for DoorDash to leave your food on the window sill.

Because cheese.

Starting to sound like Groundhog day

And unless you have a bedpan in there……..

I swear he’s done this comic 30 times now

I think pastis has done 6 or 7 different versions of this same plot. (rat asking pig why he’s still in bed and then pig explaining then rat getting in the bed) kinda getting old. We need the puns PUNS PUNS PUNS. Comment & like if you agree

You may want to rethink this, Pig. To paraphrase Omar Kayyám, “A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread — and Rat?” I don’t think so.

this cartoon has been on repeat for 4 months now.this cartoon has been on repeat for 4 months now.this cartoon has been on repeat for 4 months now.

To pee, preferably. And to eat. And if you’re 30-something to run five miles before breakfast.

Cue up Sonny & Cher on the radio AGAIN !

Oh no! Rats and pigs sleeping together!!

This used to be my favorite comic…now it’s just a daily dose of depression

Interesting. I don’t remember Stephan ever drawing Rat with his face looking forward before. His nose always points to the side.

At least you’ll die comfy.

I don’t remember ever seeing Rat’s face straight on before. If it has been, I must have missed it…

Pig may starve. Rat will eat high off the hog!

Years later, when the pandemic finally was declared to have ended, the desiccated corpses of Rat and Pig were found in a mummified condition, still in bed. They probably died hungry but happy….

There is always that.
