Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 16, 2015
Transcript:
Rat: Hey, Goat, this is my friend Lindsey. I think you met her before. Goat: Yeah, but I think your hair was different. Lindsey: Yeah, I dye it, like, every few months. Which means I have to change my phone cover to match. Plus, I'm always changing my screen saver. I get tired of them after, like, two days. Which reminds me, it's probably time for me to get my hair dyed again. Goat: Well, that's great. And how long do those tattoos last? Rat: My favorite part was when she called you 'a sad old man who's gonna die soon.' Goat: It was a fair question.

Phew! For a moment, I thought it was the setup to a terrible pun.

With a person who changes like that you’d think they’d use temporary tattoos so they could change then every few months along with everything else. But then again think of all the hassle of having to get the proper measurements so the tattoos are always put in the same exact place at the same exact angle day after day until the change comes.

Goat forgot to ask how often she changes her undies.

it WAS a fair question. And I applaud Goat for asking it.

Goat was overly inquisitive, and Lindsey, like, gave him what he deserved….

I apologize for injecting practicality into this discussion, BUT: If she only colored it every few months, wouldn’t her hair be, effectively, two colors – the dyed color at the ends plus whatever her natural color was? Assuming, of course, that she’s “on schedule” when she says it’s time to get it dyed again.

“Sad old man who’s gonna die soon”. I have to remember that. It’s a great come back!

Lindsey’s a moron; why is this funny?

Maybe Goat would have a better chance with Lindsey’s sister Lydia.

Why do I think that Lindsey’s last name may be Lohan?

Growing up I met an old hippie with a tattoo on her face that had become deformed by the wrinkles in her skin. That was enough for me to avoid any identifying marks.

perhaps she would have been better off with henna tattoos. not permanent and artistic. of course you have to pay each time but she’s already doing that with hair. she can probably afford it

Dye it=diet. Curl up and dye. The possibilities are endless.

I’ve been getting tattoos for about 30 years now, and I still am happy with them. Anyone considering a tattoo should think carefully about the fact that they are forever, that you’ll still have them when you are very old and saggy and gray. I’m fine with that. For me they are living works of art.

I think her blue hair really suits her.
Her attitude however…

Either Goat’s horns are flexible or that bowl is much larger than it appears.

Radar: [The tattoo isn’t real] It’ll come off when I take a bath. Hawkeye: My God, it is permanent.
