Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 25, 2013

Pig: Hey, Goat. This is my friend, Patty...she doesn't like to communicate very much. Goat: Why is that/ Pig: I don't know, but she likes 'Silly Putty.' So I told her to form it into words if she'd lie. Goat: Oh, good idea. Pig: Yeah, but then she wanted privacy, so she took it into the bathroom and then came back with very few words. Goat: That's too bad. Pig: I know. Would you mind trying to talk to her? Goat: Sure. Pity you're so pithy with the putty in the potty, Patty. Pig: Did I mention she likes putt-putt golf? Rat: STOP! Goat: Please, Rat. Don't be petty to pithy Patty.
Perhaps Patty was having a pity party in the potty… and had no time for petty parlance with a pig….even a pretty patient pig like Pig.
Or perhaps she dropped some putty into the potty, and had only enough left for a pithy point. (You wouldn’t want Patty to play with peed-on putty!)..Please, people! Don’t pick on ME….Pastis put the picture of Patty and Pig’s putty into the panel. Poor me, I just picked it up, like a pathetic pox.
