Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 02, 2021

The lady just wanted to get rid of her samples and go home.

Truly, Pig is a follower of Cheeses.

The only place I’ve found free samples was at Costco.

Rat is just jealous that they never give out free samples of Cheez Whiz.

Creative writing: use the French “Fromage” or Italian “Formaggio”. Should sounds exotic.

There’s plenty of free cheese in the bins behind the supermarket. Probably shouldn’t eat it, though.

that would be gouda!

Pig needs to dream bigger. Free crispy bacon!

Well Rat what is your peak moment ? Drinking a Beer or hitting Stephan Pastis with the Rat Bat ?

“You can’t be an anti-Semite and still love cheeses . . .”

At least that’s what I thought he said . . .

Well, along that vein – yesterday I tasted the best German Chocolate cake of my life…maybe, I too, can become a writer?

Pig has a cheesy brain, but I am afraid it is Swiss Cheese!

A sneak peak into Pig’s life.

Aww I was hoping for more crocs and zeebas. This is just cheesy.

Pig and Rat the ___ odd couple?

Gubmint cheese ain’t bad

Let’s cut the cheese and move on to something else.

Pig knows better than to accept Cheez Wiz.

Pigs will do anything for free food.

Free cheese is always gouda

Ham and cheese on rye. But then you’re a cannibal. A fine young one at that.

Pig is really serious about this. His penmanship is MUCH better than usual and no ink sploches on his face.

Hey, Stephan!!! Better send Pig to the moon to see if it really is made of cheese

So Stephan, do you really like cheese?

Pig is a turophile.

I give that essay an A++++++++. #cheeserocks

My sons live in Cheeseconsin, there are Cheeseheads everywhere there.

Cheez Whiz Rat, Pig is writing on a subject that you should be able to relate.

So i took the plate and asked if they had anymore.

Ya gotta be careful with sharp cheese. You’ll cut yourself.

Just enjoy life, Pig. You’re doing fine.

His life does has a very low bar for the peak moment…….

I think mine was one summer evening just before my final semester of college… I was perfectly @ peace, and would have been fine with my life ending just then.

Where did the pen go in that last panel? Perhaps it went out to get Pig some cheese.

To Pig, the Institutor of the Church of Cheese, free Cheese is a miracle.

Gorgonzola…and Coca-cola

That’s all there is,there ain’t no mola.

A really nice variety in letterings.

Am I just old-fashioned? I remember the stereotype being that it was the mice who liked cheese, not the other way around.

Well, here’s some Limburger.

Must have been something that happened 2019 or earlier.

That’s my motto.

Our younger granddaughter discovered Manchego when she was 8. She liked to come up to me and say in a conspiratorial tone of voice, “Manchego.” It’s still her favorite.

Til some one cuts the cheese.

Chocolate and certain cheeses are triggers for my migraines. I can eat some, but not a lot. And if I have cheese, and forget that I’ve had it, and then later eat choc, that’s bad.

Like Pig said early in the strip’s run, cheese makes everything better.

Pig needs rehab! Send him to the Betty Ford Recovering Cheese-aholics Resort and Extended Care Facility!

makes sense to me

Ahh … the power of cheese.
