Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 22, 2018

Pigita is a lousy girlfriend.

Now, that’s just sad.

Get a couple pizzas and YOU’LL be huge, Pig!

People saw a pig with a sign that said “Huge”; they might have mistaken him for The Rump.

Pig could also lose the “e”. It should be known that, because of silent “e”, so many good words become grand. Hence “dam” becoming “dame”,“pan” becoming “pane”, “man” becoming “mane”, “ban” becoming “bane”, etc.Therefore, one could hug the letter “e”.

Oh, don’t worry pig. I’ll hug you. (And eat you after the crushing bear hug. Heh heh heh.)

Let’s all give pig a hug!

…Get some orange hair, Pig. And bigger hands!

Somebody get that pig a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. With marshmallows!

That looked right the first time. Hug E. Also A, I, O, and U. What the heck, sometimes Y. Let your vowels know you appreciate them.

I’ll hug ya, Pig!

I guess the Piagra didn’t work (g,d, rlh)…

Looks like Pig is in dire need of the new UK Minister of Loneliness! Of course, being government, he will need to fill out forms and wait 6 months to get his hug.

I’ve always thought (especially after storms when marquees are almost unreadable) that that’s how Merv Griffen came up with “Wheel of Fortune”

Don’t worry, Pig. It’s not the size that matters.

Tiny little hooves ;~}

“Free hugs” might work. “Hug me” is just pathetic.

I know just how you feel, Pig.

Poor Pig! I will hug him and pet him and call him “Pig”!

Come to think of it, wasn’t this one of the phrases on an episode of “Wheel of Fortune”? Just thinking, cause if the missing letter was an “A”, pig can’t seem to spell.

It will be YUGE!!!!

HUGE HUGS!!
