Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 10, 2012

Surely, you joust.

How many kilowatts do we get from four hours of schlumperdinking?

Need to connect wires to pig to put him on the grid.

Rat might be on to something here.

We should have realized this years ago! We must have been too stupid…

Right on for Rat once more for Rat and his Writer and portrait artist.

If Rat hasn’t patented that Stupidity Harness idea yet, some bold and enterprising reader of this strip will steal it for sure, ‘cuz, we’re, uhh, smart! And full of energy!

I think you’ve just solved the world energy crisis. An inexhaustible source of aeolian energy!!

Wanna harness stupid? Properly harnessed Rat alone could power the entire world for a couple decades whereas Pig could barely power their house for a couple days using that idiotic harness. Harness Pig properly and he could power their hom for a week. Now if we harness Rat’s ego we could power the world for the next hundred years.

but, isn’t that premise of the matrix? that humans are batteries for the machines.

Facebook, Twitter and celebrity news should easily do the trick!

In a world where 50% of the people fall below median intelligence, half of us are going to get free power.

I think Larry could produce an awful amount of energy.

YES!

Brilliant

Hey, it’s the Windmillls of Your Mind!

Poor Pig

Don Quixote doesn’t seem so stupid now, does he. . .

Years ago, a Dave Letterman “Top Ten List” had the answer.Use Curly from the Three Stooges. Put him on a treadmill. Put a beehive in his pants.

If falling below the median means you are stupid. I like the idea of using the politicians!

Just hook those up to the Fox News staff and we’re set!

Ya say more say more … wait till the rest catch on. its only a matter of time with so many big mouths

A little modification to cell phones and we’ll never have to recharge them.

If that were true, you could power the whole planet for decades with just the folks on capital hill alone!

Since stupid people are sometimes called “dim bulbs,” wouldn’t we get more energy harnessing the brighter idiots out there?

LOL LOL!

I love Pig…

@Pelahnar said,

‘Surely, you joust.’.Is this a reference to Don Quixote or did you mix up the words “joust” and “jest”?*********************************If you can’t tell the difference, then you’ve missed the pun (t)(wink)

Tom Tomorrow had this idea three years ago.

And it’s green too.

Senator Mitch McConnell could power two: one when he proposes a bill, and a second when he filibusters his own bill.

wow, the pig brain cells died

We have enough stupid to power not only the entire planet but several space stations too.

Everyone in my life is that stupid

First stop, the White House, POTUS office. Next, Congress…perpetual wind supply.

Ok, Rat may actually be on to something, the only problem being that it might take more power to harness than it gives

But rat, please notice who is blowing the most wind in this scene!

I hope our current administration doesn’t catch wind of this. There goes another few billion in taxpayers’ dollars.

It’s genius, It would work for most of the worlds population!

I mean, that’s pretty good
