Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 16, 2024

So no double-bagger for Pig.

What does Mr. Tea have to say about this?

Are we allowed to say Pig got teabagged on gocomics? asking for a friend…

Today Stephan made a strip-tease.

They sound like a couple a old bags to me

And then they got into hot water.

Maybe you are lucky, there might have been trouble brewing!

Hey, baby, wanna get steeped?

Tea for two wasn’t in the cards (or was it tea leaves)

Talking tea bags? Now me has seen everythings.

I’ll stick to coffee!

Teas for two, two for teas…

Sumtin’ to do with the Tea Bag Party?

Talking teabags? I’ll have whatever Pig is drinking.

Nice to see Pig talking to inanimate objects again. We saw that a lot in the early days of the strip.

Forgive me but I think Pig got lucky. I They look like old bags to me.

Marla Tea & Carla Tea are both on facebook.

No tea-bagging for Pig tonight :-(

Just a couple of old bags anyway, Pig. Be ageist, it’s okay. We just laugh it off and have another (fill in the blank with drink of choice.. even Geritol, it’s okay).

Cartooning is so confusing.

Time to Lay off the pipe, Pastis

Earl grey. Hot.

Darn those homophones.

Where’s your dignitea, Pignitea?

Honestly, I don’t get this one.

Cheer up, Brother Pig. They’re much worse in the hen house bedeviling the rooster.

DOA

Their only a pair of old bags.

I love this strip but I’m definitely running out of ways to say “OUCH”.

If you’re dating, they’re the pits.

Tea’s tease. I remember that.

Cursing tea bags, now we’ve seen about everything.

Wait, are those teas new, or old bags?

For a minute there, I thought pig was dating Marla and Carla from The Great Muppet Caper.

Please tease me, oh yeah, like I tease you….

Well I see the tea party. Where’s the Clam chowdah?

And here I thought we were being set up for a long pun…

Begins crouching and uncrouching rapidly

Well, trying to date a couple of tea bags could be interesting to somebody I guess…

No to dates with strings attached.

remember it’s @ before # except after $

Sub par comic today.

Pig must be pretty desperate to date teabags. But in Stephan’s world, anything goes!

Why would you want to date a tea bag? Am I missing something? (I do enjoy a nice hot cuppa in the morning.)

Yes, it is.

When you are dating tea bags you have to expect some oddness and confusion in life.

Pun being set up…..

But no!

Marla and Carla ended up going home with Herb.

Marla and Carla may look like tea bags, but I think they’re loose tea.

Those two are a couple of Assams.

Awww, inner-species dating is one thing, but this is a step too far.

I just visualized teabagging Pig… Oh, no! I need a new brainwash now to unsee that…

It’s already weird seeing Pig conversing with teabags

What is confusing is a pig dating tea bags

Less confusing if you stay within your own species.

Wouldn’t tea bags be male

Do I detect a slight dislike for a certain song by Lady Gaga? :D
