Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 03, 2021

If Bob already didn’t know, then he was busy doing something else this weekend.

You forgot Bob :(

And they played COVID Roulette (formerly known as Spin the Bottle)!

Bob wasn’t in the list.

Rat had Bob on the wrong list – the games list

Bob N Forapples.

Bob received no invitation to the party?

I would be GLAD to not be invited to a Covid-sharing party, wouldn’t you?

You super spreader event organisers you!

That’s because Rat & Bob hate each other.

In a few days Bob waves goodbye to all his dying neighbours on ventilators in the hospital!

Can you guys still throw parties and invite people??

Aw, poor Bob. Bob should look on the bright side:

Rat did not invite you to his party.

That’s one party I’d rather not be invited to.

It’s okay, he didn’t want to get COVID-19 anyway. (Is this a repeat – no masks?)

Classic sitcom opening.

Reading these comments, I understand why this strip prefers to wallow on COVID pity. I look forward to socializing again; today is a nice reminder of normal life.

Open mouth, insert hoof!

Poor Bob.

Is this how Rat got the inspiration for the “Angry Bob” stories.

Inconsiderate %$+&…

If I was bob I wouldn’t be as sad. Because you know… covid

Rat probably didnt invite him on purpose

Who would willingly attend a party hosted by Rat? BYOB is one thing, but BYOBAFALE?*

*Bring Your Own Bottle, Food, And Leave Early.

The empty plate & the pillow make me wonder if Steph will ever learn how to draw food & furniture!

That wasn’t nice ya’ll

Funny, when I saw his expression in the second panel, I thought it was shock that Pig would be having a party during the pandemic.

Nothing that says that animals cannot have a party.

Pretty much sums up what Oscar Meyer pigs think of their humans.

Going back to normal boys, I see.

oops

When I was a kid, if a family had an outdoor party, the close-by neighbors all got invitations also. This was to foster good relationships.

Got your vaccination already, Stephan?

Pig isn’t the quickest, is he?

The whole neighborhood. Oh no. The COVID police should have shut it down. Help! Help! Panic!

He’s a “nay-Bob of negativity”.

I don’t know what is worse. Not be invited to a party and not going because you have honor, or not being invited to a party and showing up just to prove to everyone why you were not on the guest list. Did the rat invite someone calling himself Allah by aby chance? Maybe misspelled it? If so,, that’s why Mr. Alley Cat Steven’s didn’t show up aka Yusuf to perform Moon Shadow. You boys should be more careful. People put out a lot of money for these parties.

It could not have been that big if neighbor Bob did not hear it.

Why is this a Saturday comic? It should be a Monday comic, and probably not Easter Monday.

If all of their friends were talking animals like themselves, then the party would have been safe. Maybe they left Bob off the list because they were protecting him from the virus?

It’s all right Pig,Bob will invite you to his rib roast.

It’s all right, Pig. That was just Neighbor Bob, and we all know that Neighbor Bobs don’t really count….

Oops.

And thus, the rivalry returns. . .

bobs probably a nerd
