Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 14, 2011

If Rat wanted a smooth wing man, he should have brought LGD along with him.

I’m thinking that it’s not a good sign…if you can hear your pants talk.

I’m thinkin’ if those two just stand there for the afternoonpeople will put enough change in rats cup that he can payfor what he’s lookin’ for.

Maybe Rat is using the cup to try and raise money for a 2 year mission trip.

i was stationed in Key West on submarine duty in the early sixties. Was great then too…..

I ask myself the same thing Rat.

Rhymes with ‘Bock Clocker’…

Pig got his magipants past the TSA! Maybe he’s more cool than you give him credit for, Rat. Women sometimes like a cute little simple guy….

Well, Rat, those Magipants do sort of look like a wingnut, and pigs are sort of smooth… And a lot of girls like a guy with a sense of humor.

Are magipants going to be added to the “Pearls” merchandise?

Eros is more selective these days.

hmmmmmmmm………… trusted mechanic i kind of agree with you eairler pb4s was a litlle bit better than this. And aw man my house is gonna get bombed because i said that about pb4s lol

Agreed Art. Humor is a gamble. You toss something out . . . some people laugh, some people smile, some are offended. You never know for sure.But give Pastis a break, for God’s sake. Cartoonists have to churn this stuff out every day. EVERY day.

I can see Pig trusting his magipants.

and without the pants on his head Pig is the ideal wing man?? lol

Does Pig actually know that pants aren’t supposed to be worn on the head? Or is he trying to start a new fashion trend?

He needs Snuffles along. women adore guys with little fuzzy pets.

I’m with you. I have grown very tired of pants thing. Not funny at all.

I don’t think it’s crude per se….. but it really isn’t super funny… just kind of bizarre. Then again I don’t usually interpret things in a crude way, its not my nature, so perhaps I am missing the crude joke in all this? Either way, I agree it’s time to wrap it up and move on.

“Magipants says hello.” That has to be the greatest opening line.

Why doesn’t rat bring on the Magipants as his wingman?

What more does Rat want? Pig is smoother than most of his neighbors, he’s loyal (to his Magipants at least!), and he’s naive enough to be endearing.

Okay so you have to explain the crude part to me. I just see it as another silly, checked out thing pig is doing. Kinda like magipants, pig looks cute. Some of the outfits I’ve seen people wear for real….. on second thought magipants on the head aren’t all that odd.

Pastis didn’t get the entrance right. There should be one on the north side of the building also. But then again; if he was at the end of his “DUVAL CRAWL” it would be amazing that he even remembered he was there.

Oh…. My….. God.

LOL LOL!

Of course there is the possibility that the “hot women” of Duval St. would not find a small, egocentric, hairy rodent all that attractive to start with. A wingman pig with pajama bottoms on his head might not be that much of a handicap.

Hey! The Magi-Pants made it through TSA scrutiny. I was hoping Lil Guard Duck was gonna show up with his rocket launcher in yesterday’s strip.

Pig is only wearing the Magipants on his head because he believes they told him to, and he promised them he’s never take them off.

I mean, wouldn’t you?OK, maybe not.

Mechanic, I’m very surprised when I don’t agree with something you say, cos it doesn’t happen often, but I can’t see the “crude” in that.

The “crazy”, yes, the “a-little-over-the-top-and-even-Pig-isn’t-usually-THAT-crazy”….. OK, maybe that too — but not the “crude”.

Sounds like the women will need a wing-woman to help each other with him…

MAGIPANTS TALK?!

not only are you in the minority about your view on pig, your also in the minority as a trusted mechanic.

Considering that the more knowledgeable a person is the more wrinkles his brain has, Pig is truly the “smoothest” character around.As for the TSA gropers, I’m guessing that they let Pig through because it’s just not as fun to feel up someone whose pants are on his head.

Hmmm… I think The Trusted Mechanic might be happier restricting himself to Family Circus.

Eros hates you for many reasons

I wonder if sloppy Joe’s licensed this comic
