Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 07, 2021

Pig will make some mighty sweet bacon.

Hey! That’s me in panel #3

The French Vanilla diet—one of my favorites!

Pig is also eating a 12-course meal for lunch.

sounds like a similar conversation in today’s Garfield

Never too cold for some ice cream – sadly I haven’t had a lot recently.

If you were lactose intolerant, a gallon of ice cream before bed would not improve your sleep.

I even like to drink melted ice cream.

My favorite: two good scoops of a creamy French vanilla ice cream a tall glass topped off with a good cream soda like Barqs (the red or French vanilla variety) or A & W if Barqs is not available to make a killer float.

I make do with a pint of Haagen-Daz (vanilla bean) and I’m losing weight; of course I also only eat two meals a day.

The containers of ice cream are shrinking instead of my stomach. Who remembers when ice cream came in 64 oz. containers? Now they are 48 oz.

Been there done that lol

Pig no sneak snacks !

Oh, woe. I fear that the days of a pint of Ben & Jerry’s for supper are past and gone…

I can identify with Pig here….

How are you spying on me Pastis? I covered my PC camera.

I had a small dinner b/c I got home late & DH was hungry, and just ate a pint of Magnum ice cream. That’s as rich as a gallon of normal ice cream.

i eat a small dinner precisely because i’m leaving room for chocolate and ice cream…

Got to eat that gallon before 8PM.

Think small and grow big, Pig…how do you manage that? :D

PIG just doesn’t get things straight…ever..lol

Pigs have to eat a lot of food to have their proper body weight.

I think there’s a reason behind this.

Whats with this “on ear up and one ear down” thing?

Wasn’t spam, it was ICE CREAM. Idiot. Why would PIG eat SPAM anyway? That’d be cannibalism, right?

How do you sleep after eating ice cream?

But I washed it all down with a Diet Coke…

I’m guessing that “self-control” is not in Pig’s vocabulary.

Yum.

Do tell……

Smaller portions make it hard? Senior men will try anything.

I am not sure which is worse, someone talking to you about their diet or a vegan talking about how wrong you are.

It came as a shocking “revelation” to some people, when the report came out that salads can have as much calories as a Big Mac. Yes, there are green leaves in a salad, but the cup of mayonnaise you just poured over it, does not get beamed into space after you gobble it down.

Sounds typical

Are they insinuating that ice cream is not health food?

Arrgh! Pig, you just don’t get it, do you? (Hint: I am not talking about getting the ice cream….)

oddly indeed…

This is exactly why my experiment with intermittent fasting was short lived :p

“Just skip meals to loose weight” turned into periodic binging on everything and anything I could get my hands on.
