Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 20, 2024

Goat will be included as an accessory if any criminal charges are filed.

Goat say potaato Rat say potaahto.

Goat should have said to the Rat on the roof, “Get off it.”

I’ll take the potatoes.

Remember that exchange in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s COMMANDO?

“What did you do with him?”

“I let him go.”

Not what Frozen meant by Let it Go.

That was so cold. One might even say “Frozen”.

So the potatoes mashed neighbor Bob?

We’re going to need another neighbor Bob.

Neighbour Bob is now Mr. Potato Head.

Be careful what you say, how you say it, and who you say it to.

Today is National Cheese Lover’s Day. I thought of Pig. ;-)

Can you say that without Elsa’s permission?

What a waste of good potatoes!

Somebody should throw that sack on Rat.

Gravity is a harsh mistress.

Some people call it a potato, I call it a Billy club.

Goat usually doesn’t have precise timing….LOL!

But it made a pretty sound.

Oh, dear.

Goat, that was the worst thing you have ever said to Rat, especially while he was holding a sack of potatoes. You should have rephrased that.

Speaking of Great Advice… “Yo, Rat, my man! Next time use a bag of bowling balls. You’re Welcome”.

Not what I meant! Just to set the record straight.

“Rat, let me have it.”

[WHAM!]

“I meant hand me the sack of potatoes…”

Yea, release your feelings, do not hold on to them. Zee 1:2

English is a very un-precise language.

Grammar police here. Rat is not “holding on his (Bob’s) head”. “so on his head I’m going to drop this sack of potatoes”. Sounds Shakespearean, but is correct.

He could’ve also said: “Look, why don’t you just drop it?”

Neighbor Bob is now Mr. Potato Head

Search for “Derek Bentley” in Wikipedia.

My initial assumption is that this is Rat’s roof. But if so, why would Neighbor Bob walk right under it? But how would he get up on someone else’s roof?

Unsolicited advice has consequences.

Can we state that neighbor Bob has been sacked?

Another person unclear on the concept

Frozen potatoes

We’ve all wanted to do this to some one at some point

I’d like to know why Rat was holding them on Neighbor Bob’s head.

OMG! I’m laughing so hard I just starting coughing!!!

Ow … that’ll leave a mark. Sorry, Neighbor Bob.

Just like The Joker said in THE DARK KNIGHT: “Very poor choice of words.”

Next time use turnips. The world NEEDS potatoes

Let this Bob (R.I.P.) be on you, Goat. Think before you speak!
