Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 15, 2012

Nope, I heard he likes death

Now THAT had to hurt. Now rush Pig to the E.R., Rat.

Rat, you lived up to your name yet again…

Akin scenario—-“Check it out i found a brand new hand grenade! awww… it wants me to pull it’s finger!—-”

“Thin the herd! Thin the herd!”

Had Skippy in my house last week blending in with the kitchen floor. Bang! Bang! May Skippy rest in peace.

I met Skippy’s big cousin overseas. Didn’t get along well at all, and at least I didn’t try to shake his “hand”! (Oh, BTW: poor Pig!)

He put the sting on you, Pig.

In general, with scorpions, the smaller they are, the more dangerous. So I’d say Pig is in trouble.

Rat runs with his own kind…the abominable.

The sting is in…….Pig’s hand.

Nature isn’t the only thing that confuses that dumb Pig.

Well, at least pig got the point this time . . . . ☻

XD

piggy as mitt

Isn’t this the start of an Al Pacino movie?

Look at how the purple haze around Pig intensifies as he is stung. Good effect!

Awwwwwwww! Poor Pig…

Naughty Scorpion!

LOL xxx

Remind me to introduce you to Skippy the Scorpion sometime.

Skippy’s real name was Gordan Sumner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_(musician)

Next, Rat is going to introduce Pig to Ricky, the Brown Recluse Spider…

OMG! You killed PIG!!!! You bastards!!!!

This is a switch…the character called “Skippy” survives a strip..Oh, and too bad for Pig. I’m not sorry because Pig probably going to be fine the next day.

Tomorrow’s strip:

Rat: “I’d like you to meet my new friend, Bo the boa constrictor.”

Pig: “Oh look, he wants to kiss me—OOOMPH!!!”

Someone this stupid deserves to die. Let him die and replace him with Cuddly Curmen the Caiman, or something else. We already have the crocs for stupid, pig is redundant and obnoxious.

☺

Like I’ve always said, “Why do you think they call them scare-pians?!”

No matter what feelings you have for Pig, this strip is a perfect definition of the phrase, “Too stupid to live.”

Thus leaving less food available for the crocs…

To the “self proclaimed” Trusted Mechanic: You’re right. That “dumb” Pig is, sweet, kind, trusting, innocent & naive.

@ several posters stating that the smaller the scorpion, the potent the venom: not always true. We have small ones in Florida and they are less than a bee sting..Pig was just being his naive, friendly self.

A big shoe will take care of Mr. Skippy.

Am I the only one thinking this should have been about a fist bump?

And also why didn’t scorpy say anything since everyone is suppose to anamorphic?

This reminds me of the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog.

Ahh! Get the antitoxin!
