Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 07, 2024

Pig has a way of grating on everyone’s nerves.

Some people just don’t want more zest in their life.

I hope that’s not the same file he uses on his bunions.

Apparently Pig think his zester puts people in a grate (sic) mood.

I don’t know why I didn’t expect to see puns in the Pearls Comment Section, but I did! Wish I had a punny response…

Zest Rat, he is always in a grating mood.

“You’re not fully clean unless you’re Zestfully clean!"

Pig has zest for life now.

Grate. Just grate.

Bless you, Pig!

Do you want to have a grate life? … Add a little zest to your life.

Pig is a Trump supporter. He want’s to Make America Grate Again.

Just don’t grate on people’s nerves, Pig!

When Pig works, he tells all his customers to have a “grate” day!

For Goat, it looks like it might be painful!

Looks like some fell in the tea………TASTY !!!

Eh? Me zest not get it?

I’ve never thought of doing that with soap.

Zest is a personal choice, Pig, it’s not to be forced on people!

You know who he should use that grater on?!….

I’m with ya, Pig. Let’s do this.

I guess microplane zester wouldn’t have been funny…

Not in his face, Pig.

Surely you zest, Pig…

ZESTfully Clean!

Boring

I have a utensil called a grater and another one called a zester. The diff is in the size of the pieces you get from the item. Think grated cheese vs. lemon zest.

I’m pretty sure getting that in his eyes won’t make his day better.

Life has handed Pig lemons and he’s out to make lemonade for everyone.

Ah, if only…

For Pig, it was a grate experience. For Goat, it was degrating.

Today’s kartune reminds me of that old hymn, “How GRATE Thou Art”!

If he wasn’t interested in the answer, why did he ask the question?

Then why did goat ask

We have a zester, Microplane brand. Adds a nice flavor to a gin martini.

Safe to say, Pig adds a lot of flavor in my life.

Okay, is Pig getting lemon zest in Goat’s left eye? Because that seems like it would be incredibly painful.

Zesters don’t work t hat well on human flesh.

They’re also for people who are too lazy to peel the whole fruit

That doesn’t seem like the zest option, Pig.

Well, on a sour note ….

Zestfully clean though

Well…. Pig’s world, anyway..

I’d rather play with a fidget spinner. ( sarcasm)

Zest is Best !

The tea of Goat will improve for sure.

But don’t overdo it. For after the aromatic outer skin comes the white part and that makes everything bitter.

It BUUUUURNS AHHHHH!

Shake a little pepper on Goat and spice up his life.

You’re not fully clean unless you’re Zest Fully Clean!

Grate just the skin, as the white pith is bitter.

And it’s a bitter pithy that there was no pun

He COULD wind up Zestfully Dead!!
