Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 19, 2023

Is that the punchline?

Sounds like bacon for all

nicest comic all week! thanks Pig

It looks like a final strip for the series. I hope it isn’t.

Does Pig realize we read the strip for the bad puns? Would he still love us?

We love you, too, Pig.

I HATE bacon and ham and pork chops.

Pig is true to form.

Me is love Pig too. Mmmm… Delicious!

You’ve been replaced, Stephen!!!

❣️

Love cheese danish, hate danish cheese. – Dr. John Becker.

sweet

Aww…

“What this world needs now is love, sweet love.” Perhaps now more than ever.

Pig love is big love.

Way to go Pig!

Love you too, Pig!

I love ham…. er…. you too, Pig.

Pig is all heart <3

…um…

…it’s “y’all”…

Awww.

We love you, too, PIG! Nicely done! ❤❤❤

I think pigs are intelligent creatures. I don’t eat meat anymore anyway, but pork would be last on my list. Not only that, but a pig valve saved my Dad’s life. I have great respect for pigs.

This is officially my favorite Pearls Before Swine comic strip of all-time.

Millions???? It’s just us Steph… :D

We love you back, Pig. Always have.

Awww, Pig! You just made my day!

Well, its not funny, but I’ll take it.

Rat’s turn tomorrow? He’ll say quite the opposite, I’m sure.

Dark but funny strip takes a brief side trip for a positive message, from a pig. Why not?

I love you too, Pig.

Love you too, everyone

Thank goodness he didn’t choose Rat to do it!

At least he didn’t say anything about stolen elections and send money to my defense fund.

I love you too Pig

We love you too, Pig!

Right back atcha, pig — and you, too, Mr. Pastis. Sorry about Detroit; the rest of Michigan is rather ambivalent about that city (and not too happy about Lansing, Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Hamtramk). Hope you stay out of jail down south.

We love you too, Pig.

We could all use a friend like Pig.

Thank you, Stephan. This strip made my day. Or should I give Pig my gratitude…

PURCHASE MOORE HAMANN BACON. Just Google it. LOL

Pinned this one.

Nice. Thank you pig!

Love you too!!

Love you too!!

We love you too, Pig. Fortunately you’re a cartoon character so we won’t be tempted to eat you. Can’t say the same for your relatives full of bacon, sausage and ham.

The pigs alright.

Love you too Pig!

Good reminder to us all as to how we should like our lives……

Hmm… I’m sensing a theme here.

Touching but The Count is looking forward to tomorrow when ❤️Rat❤️ does the strip. Sunday will be done by Larry the Croc.

Is Steph walking to all these book signings? I bet even Jef Mallett doesn’t do that.

That was the last thing my young teenager wrote before he hanged himself. My tears are not your fault. Just had to let you know.

Every time I eat bacon I will remember you Pig with gratitude. :-q

A friend gave me Pig and Rat for a retirement present.

And I love you, Pig; with sauer kraut and red-eye gravy on mashed potatoes.

Best comic strip! Thank you, PIG !! … :)

Thanks pig! That was great! Love you too little buddy!

Aww!

That’ll do, Pig. That’ll do.

And tomorrow… Rat’s chance!

I LOVE YOU MORE.

Pig loves Bacon.

Awwwww! We love you too, PIG, regardless ..l..☺️❤️

Good thing he didn’t get Rat to do it. It probably would have been slightly shorter, though still ending in “you all”…

Aw, sweet. Glad he didn’t ask Rat.

Better safe than sorry.

Wow, that says it all!

Je suis cochon….

Yeah pig!

Love the eyes on this guy!

Love you too

And thus was the end of Pearls Vs Swine

WE LOVE YOU TOO PIG ♥♥♥

I love you period.

Do you love me question maaarrk?

Please please exclamation point!

I wanna hold you in parentheses.

(See who remembers that one………)

Straight to the heart. Thank you.

Pig for the WIN. Again.

We love you too, Pig. We love bacon with eggs for breakfast, ham on rye for lunch, and pork with gravy for dinner.

THANKS STEPH!

We love you too, Pig!

St.Louis and Memphis are championship pork barbecue towns,so Pig is safest at home doing the strip

Right back at you, Pig!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a strip with this many “Likes” before. 776 and counting. Way to go, Stephan and Pig!

Pig is the compassionate person I wish we could all be. Love you too, pig! (and a big hug to Stephan)

You rock Pig!

We love bacon! :D

Sorry Stephan. But Pig just did the best “Pearls” strip ever.

Esther the wonder pig died last night.

We love you, too, Pig!!!!!!

I love you too pig

Pig says it all. Pab can retire now.

I love you too Pig ♥♥♥

Thank you, Pig.

This was the sweetest ever. I don’t know why, but it really touched my cold, dead heart.

Give it to Rat.

Back at ‘cha Pig!

Pig is the best!!! Now where are the people who are like Pig???? I think another great pig is Ham Shears…

I love you too, Pig!!! So very, very much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ace! Cartoon-Boy and his pal, Pig, score big today!

With Pig’s help, Love is all around us!

Back atcha, Pig—as others have said. Don’t change a bit.

You infected me with a very big smile. Very good that you are thinking around the box…. Such a wise a@@ on the hill .

This could be one of my most favorite Pearls of all time!
