Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 27, 2016

While Pig has the trimmer, he could use it on the hedge fund manager.

You’re going to trim brushes, not trees. Put the chainsaw down!

Sing along with Sherlock: “It’s a long way to topiary…”

You’re supposed to let them grow?

Strange one is told to go to school and be successful and if you are to successful then the media beats you up for it :-)

I’m surprised his name isn’t Bob

Groovy.

That pun caught me by surprise. I “am bushed.”

Hmmm … Ed bears something of a resemblance to Hugo Weaving.

While he may have made millions, it is equally possible that he lost millions – otherwise why would he live in their neighborhood?

O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery.

Pig looks like he’s going to trim Ed’s head off.

One of my big disappointments was watching Monty Python with my teenage daughter. She said “This isn’t funny, its just stupid.” I tried to explain, but to no avail. . . sigh.

I could probably make tribble shaped hedges pretty well.

Pig’s handiwork?

Shady, slim, white-shirted bald guy? Are you sure this isn’t a scene from a wacky new Bruce Willis comic-thriller? Pig, did the Prop Department supply you with the safety goggles and hedge-trimmer? This is a movie set, isn’t it?Can’t fool me….

Ooh … this looks dangerous, and could turn ugly.

@comiclass:that’s not a chainsaw, that’s a hedge trimmer!(I have an electric one, also a gas chainsaw.)

You’ll carve them into little stumps with that!
