Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 19, 2016

Ask Benny, when was the last time he had a date.

Can someone explain why Paris Goat needed to put on trunks?

And perhaps groceries might be nice….with a kitchen to prepare dinner……and a bedroom to sleep in……or for company.

how philosophical of Benny

life is a beach, then you marry one

I wonder, is that dude a kid in a man’s body? Nah, he’s just brain dead. Or just plain lazy.

Who needs groceries? He has all the sandwiches he can eat!

Benny may be a beach bum, but he has mastered the Socratic Method….

Sherlock, Goat donned trunks because the sand is hot to sit on bare-butt! Have you ever sat on a truly hot sandy beach (I have)?

Goat has seen the light!

There’s a 1947 song by Danny Kaye and the Andrews Sisters called “Civilization” with pretty much the same punchline.

All Benny did was cut out the middle part of life and went strait to retirement :-)

Talk about it

But how does Benny get food without money?Also, congrats to Mr. Pastis for resisting the urge to name the man “BOB the Beach Bum.”

Benny hopes Bernie Sanders will win the election..

Sitting on the beach is very boring after the first half hour.

More Larry, please.

Not so pleasant to have no money for food or a place to live, you can’t live at the beach.

Hey I want to get a bicycle and travel to every country thatis mainly friendly to Americans and just ride their bike paths for the rest of my life I’m 41 like that well ever happen.

Something I’ve always wondered, does goat smell like a typical goat? I wouldn’t want him sitting on my beach if he does.

I’d like to find that beer tree that Benny and Paris are picking their free beers from!

There are plenty of girls at the beach – and they bring sandwiches for those cool guys at the beach that know about a place to be alone. And there are always more there so the girls don’t get bored.What a great life – until they get fat.

Being unemployed is like a slow killing cancer. Take it from somebody who is currently in that position. I just want to scream at those who are not even bothered and yet successfully find a job.

Bongo bongo bongo… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEyDNTLlRgU

I’m betting Benny is just like Phil Sanders from Night Court

Yes Mr. Pastis, I saw the irony in your naming the beach bum Benny! After all, you stole this gag from Benny Hill (who probably stole it from someone else)!!!!

How does he eat?

fredd13: He eats fish, silly!

“why?” so you can afford the medicine you’re gonna need for all your skin cancer, and food once you look like a wrinkled piece of leather at age 35 (there’s a reason they call it “tanning”) and the chicks won’t feed you any more..

Am I the only one who hates the beach?
