Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 08, 2011

He lacks Fonzie’s touch

Percussive maintenance!

Pig is apparently not ready for digit-al

Don’t try it for laptops though. They hold their breath and then their faces turn blue.

I agree don’t do it to a laptop. Forget about it holding its breath you on the other hand when the screen turns blue… well that is another issue itself.

Ohh! Must we wait until tomorrow to see if it worked with Pig? Will we ever find out? —His brain is so…delicate…to begin with!

I do have days when my brain ‘is’ working correctly’..but rarely.

Rat should try this technique on Pastis sometime.

Rat is showing his age. Banging the TV set hasn’t worked since they replaced its guts with computer chips.

Every single day, Pig. . .

Not today’s tvs.

I really don’t understand how pig can even ask this question. You have to have a brain first, to realize it’s not working.

Miss the crocs. Tired of rat.

A unique (For Rat) logical action; preventative maintenance.

works with CD players too!

I think I need a bonk every once in a while.

I think someone should bonk Rat’s head to get it to work.

Actually, I heard the Bonk market was tanking due to the EU debt crisis…

Try giving him a (re)boot.

Or maybe a Gibbs slap . . .

Hope Rat doesn’t try to adjust Pig’s knobs next.

You have room to talk, Rat!

LOL xxx

Poor Pig, let me give you a hug!

Hey Stephan, where da crocs? where zeeba??

Obviously, he needs to go back to bed and reboot!

Good thing he isn’t impotent…

If rat keeps this up, he’ll turn pig into a drooling invalid soon..

gotta let Pig’s tubes warm up. Like an old Victrola.

Or just bring out the banjo.

Rat’s brain not functioning? How? That’s not possible!

AHA!! So that’s why Pig is bonkers!!

i really like this strip except for the confusion

I think I just might know why
