Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 06, 2014

The best thing about today’s strip . . .

NO RAT ! ! !

Why would anyone want to electrocute a toaster?

If you do want to electrocute a toaster, do it on the rise, as the scorched bread is coming up.It is evil and unsporting to electrocute a sitting toaster.

Is this the first time we’ve seen Zebra and Goat together?

Thanks, Mom.

Any chain mail to Happy Tree Friends is useless. They were used to dying anyway..

Prey species parents are so scared of everything.

Rat is fun to laugh as a fictional character, but heaven forbid if I ever meet someone like him in real life

Don’t forget the dish washer! Everyone knows how many deaths they cause!

How do you get a toaster into your pants anyway?

Zeeba Neighba and Goat have similar parental affliction! It is, indeed, quite widespread! But it’s because Mom and/or Dad care, and we secretly are glad of it.

Or you could drop it on your foot, get gangrene, and die. The wonders of technology!

The only character that regularly wears pants is Stephen, killer pants should not too much of a worry.

“Rat is fun to laugh as a fictional character, but heaven forbid if I ever meet someone like him in real life”.I have. [And yes, she is fictional…]

Rat is like each of us in one way or another. Some are amused by that, others horrified.

Never, NEVER, Never wear your pants to tight, stops the blood flow, to parts known.

Chain e-mail isn’t as bad as chain smoking! I know, because I used to be a chain smoker…but I had hard time keeping the chains lit, so I switched to cigarettes!

People still forward annoying chain emails? I thought that was what Facebook was for! (Or, at least, the only useful service Facebook provides…)

AND, I quit them 36 years ago!

I don’t have any parents left, being elderly and all, but I still have ridiculous chain email forwarded to me. My friends and acquaintances have carried out that function quite well, but they have slowed down a lot, since I keep dinging them with Snopes-type rebuttals.

In the 90s it was email warnings. Today it’s Facebook and Twitter.

Not as dangerous as a tea cosy:—http://www.scotsman.com/news/beware-of-the-tea-cosy-it-could-put-you-in-hospital-1-922448

If Pig was there… He would totally freak out!

Thank you, Stephan…

Must use Yahoo as their home page.

If anyone can tell me six ways your pants can kill me I will try to find a toaster, leave it in my brothers room in a lightning storm plugged in and record what happens. Wish me luck. ;)
