Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 30, 2019

Headphones are just as effective without the risk of suffocating.

Does that block sounds coming from the inside, too? In that case, I’ll take 537. Or one big enough to cover DC.

We are already living in a society of people in bubbles who only listen to what they want to hear.

needs that Staples “that was easy” button

Rat, remember it. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court.

Rat’s ex girlfriend (Farina?) lived in a bubble, but it wasn’t soundproofed.

Sensitive guy would appreciate a burrito, some broccoli and cauliflower, and a pint of lager.

That will keep him happy until he suffocates from lack of air…

I LOVE IT !! Great idea, all those who are offended by real life should go and live in a bubble. Problem Solved !!

Rat gets a point on the big board for this one ! …. Croc Power !

Won’t be long till the air runs out !

Don’t forget to not put air holes in it.

Rat and Pig are on an inventing streak these last few weeks.

Freedom of speech is in danger……everyone seems to get offended….WTF? Grow up and get a life! PC needs to banned, not freedom of speech!

Sound proof bubbles… I’ve found my million dollar idea…, I mean I’ve COME UP with my million dollar idea!!!

Should have made that bubble air tight too, Better yet be environmentally friendly, rather than letting him exhale all that nasty carbon into the air in the bubble make the bubble into a vacuum. Then it will be soundproof.

And no air holes!

Can we get the moderator one of them?

Problem is, so A.S.S.s are so far into their mental illness they have issues with someone somewhere saying things they may not like even though they are not hearing the speech.

Now, cut off the air to that bubble and the problem solves itself…

I wish they all would.

In these sensitive PC times, it’s almost as if we aren’t allowed speak at all.

… projecting a credible treat of violence is much more effective…

If only….

Can’t he just move to a different spot?

I guarantee that Pastis dropped the “N” bomb at some point and is trying to justify it with these comics.

I am offended that we can still see him. The contents would be less offensive if outside had some artwork.

Do you have a bubble that would cover California and Congress?

Next time try headphones and white noise.

My wife is a special ed teacher, so she always keeps me up to date on words I can no longer use.

Maxwell Smart: “Say, Chief – shouldn’t we activate the cone of silence?”

“Hell is other people!!!” ~ Sartre

Respect goes both ways and the offensive people are…..the offensive ones with low respect for others. duh. It’s a society wide symptom of lower and lower standards of behavior. Nothing can be done about it.

Yeah yeah…“pc sucks”. I get it. But I tell you what, the people I run into who are most offended by having to be “pc” are the folks who are griping about not being able to use racist, anti-gay, and anti-woman language. When someone like that is in his/her kla…er, circle of close friends, they can go nuts.

On the downside, we now have to waste valuable moments of our lives learning if someone is a bag of summer’s eve or a sack of dung. Of course, hearing the words “globalist” or “urban” is a real time saver.

And before someone starts yarbling on about “hey, man…free speech!” hear this: That person calling you out on something you said is practicing free speech as well. It’s like the Circle of Life, just with insults.

And a growing number who want to shut up everyone who disagrees with them

Was the way we used to live our lives that great?

Can we next see Sensitive Guy running around like a gerbil?

Make it air tight as well.

honestly I don’t see a difference in these remarks from the pc crowd. Most everyone is denying the first amendment to each other.

Well there ya go. Problem solved.

Hey Rat, why do you have a hairpin?

Great idea. Rat solves the “Woke Culture” problem.

I’m surprised he didn’t take offense at the suggestion.

No worries. Sooner or later that obnoxious pussy is going to fart, thus removing himself from this plane of existence.

Final thought for the day. Context is everything. We don’t know what Rat and Pig were talking about. Perhaps sensitive guy is a Packers fan. Were Rat and Pig talking about how much the Packers suck? In this case, SensDude, unless he wants a fight, should move away. But, if rat was throwing down some ignorant claptrap, SensDude would be justified in telling Rat to STFU.

So, as much as I like PBS, I’m calling out Pastis. Dude…what’s the context here? Is Rat talking real shite or are your panties in a bunch because you can’t tell N-jokes anymore? Inquiring minds want to know.

i’d be happy to loan the cone of silence…

Is everybody happy?

I can barely believe this is a PBS strip. Too saccharine….

Kind of surprised Pastis went that direction but…I like it!

I want to know why Pastis never toons about the white cat!!!!

It makes me upset that you don’t want to talk about things that I want to hear. And that’s discrimination!

You can have any opinion you want. But don’t be surprised when people tell you where you can put it – in no uncertain terms.

Wait… if that bubble is sound-proof, how is the whistle getting through?
