Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 10, 2011
Transcript:
Goat: Where is Pig? Rat: Reading the newspaper on my iPad. He was fascinated that the whole newspaper was on such an easy-to-read device. Well, how was it? Pig: Great! I read the whole newspaper? Rat: Where's the iPad? Pig: I used it to line my bird cage. Guess he doesn't like birds.

Rat may better hope that the iPAD is also a easy to clean device….

MAD Magazine had this joke as their cover several months ago. Say, since when does Pig have a pet bird?

You can’t swat a misbehaving dog with an iPad.(Or maybe you can. It would get messy, though.)

Rat is getting soft! He left Pig conscious and able to speak! Those iPads are more expensive than a newspaper….

I LIKE Rat. At this distance and perspective, of course.
What’s he like when the Jehovah’s Witnesses knock?

The first PBS strip to make me laugh. I’ve been reading for 2 years in hopes this day would come.

Pig would should actually be bacon after that stunt. The current punishment certainly does not equal the crime.

My sister gave me a toilet brush for my birthday, it works OK, but still prefer to use toilet paper. That brush is really scratchy……………

Corzak, at my granny’s in the 40’s, we really, truly used old Sears Roebuck catalogs in the backhouse. Had to roll the pages around in our hands and soften them up good, because those points – youch! There was also a stock of dried corncobs, but they were WAY too scratchy.

iPads are overpriced pieces of crap anyway. It’ll be right at home in a birdcage.
StefanoMSala over 12 years ago
