Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 14, 2011

Bears aren’t fussy eaters Pig, So, if you can outrun Goat, you’re safe.

A rifle has a better ROI than a lottery ticket.

More likely to get attacked by two different species of bears than to win the lottery. A very improbable day would be for both to happen. Would you be hapy with winning the lottery if it meant you had to be mauled by two bears? Tough question. Have to think on that one.

My pet peeve. Almost as bad as Adam and Eve cavorting with dinosaurs.

Pig, you should check with the bookmakers for the odds. You could make a killing.

buy two, Pig, one for each bear

Yep. But happiness and percieved cuteness sells products, with or without a foundation in reality.

Pig, that barstool isn’t going to give you much protection when they come for you! You might as well just volitionally roll over and offer yourself as porkchops. Let Li’l Guard Duck handle the rifle-business!

For once Goat is totally sang froid. He has looked into the abyss of Pig’s intellect…

Pig, just clobber Goat a good one ’til he sees stars, buy the lottery ticket. The bears will feed on Goat. He never supported you, anyway.

If the bears get their way it’s going to be ground hog day !

Wanna bet?

I wish we didn’t have to deal with sale’s tax but instead was required to buy a single lottery ticket every day. That would still make it less than what we’d normally pay right? Dunno. It’s 3:50am and I just finished my work before going to sleep so…

Getting anything approaching what you put into the govm’t is like winning the lottery, AnonymousUser.

I’m a little worried about myself. Today’s strip makes a strange sort of sense to me!

Getting mauled by Bears can be painful. Just ask the Detroit Lions.

You mean Tennessee Tuxedo wasn’t a documentary?

There is such a thing now as milk that is marketed under the name of “Silk”. Cows don’t drink it, perhaps they produce it? Haha.

Did anyone see Dude and Dude comic strip today? Someone else playing off of Pearls.

Use an elephant gun. Bears are fast and hard to kill.

@Lovecraft – No, the “S” in “Silk” stands for soy

Old joke:“Is it true that a bear won’t hurt you if you carry a gun?”“It depends on how fast you carry it.”

Baby cows do drink their mother’s milk, so technically it wouldn’t be a wrong answer.BTW, I that bit on CSI too.

We only won £45 on the lottery and then the week after that it was £10.

Can’t remember what we spent it on.. Or rather what my MAM spent it on.

LOL xxx

May I suggest A Ruger Mark II 7mm in stainless steel? Don’t forget to take that Hunter Safety course before you go bear pluggin’. We’ve had 2 hunters killed in Oregon in the past week by friend/family thinking they were elk. Stupid is as stupid does. MANDATORY safety courses please!

either lottery tickets are costy or rifles are cheap

Pig becoming a NRA member? Think Rat will have something to say about that…

“Cows drink water. Only their calves drink milk till weened.”Actually, having grown up on a dairy farm, I can tell you that it’s not completely unheard of for two adult cows to begin nursing each other (though it is quite rare). That happened a couple of times on our farm; my dad had to put rings in their noses to make them stop.

A RIFLE?! Bang bang.

That happens to someone every week? Wow!Here’s one I never forgot: you are more likely to be kicked to death by a donkey than die in a plane crash.

okay, this was just brilliant XD

I’d be armed too if I was made of bacon!

Has ANYONE been attacked by a black bear and a polar bear on the same day? Yes, the lottery has slim slim odds, but I think more people have won the lottery than the other scenario…

I don’t know about you, but if I got mauled by a black bear, I wouldn’t exactly go hanging out with polar bears later
