Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig, how's that neighbor of yours... The one who works in the factory? Pig: You mean neighbor Bob? Goat: Yeah. I haven't talked to him in a while. Pig: Oh, so you didn't hear? Goat: Hear what? Pig: He got his pink slip. Goat: Oh, that poor guy. HE must be so depressed. Pig: Why wold he be depressed. Goat: Keep your perversities to yourself.

Freudian slip?

So is that Robert or Roberta?

That’s to be expected from a guy that still thinks girls have cooties.

Man, now even Goat’s complaining. Really, Stephan — you deserve a bat upside the head for that one. Where’s Rat when you really need him?

Did he get that pink slip from Heidi over at “The Argyle Sweater” imporium?

What do you expect from a guy who can’t even spell “Steven”?

Technically, that is a skirt, not a slip. But I’m rather happy as it covers a little more of Bob.
scpandich over 11 years ago
Being ignorant of the finer points of women’s (or Robert’s) fashion, what’s the point of wearing a slip?

I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say we’re glad Bob didn’t get black-balled.

I notice that Goat had to get something off his chest (while Bob was putting something on his……..)

Good choice Bob, since you look like you have “Summer colors” Lots of pinks and blues — both light and dark shades — make up your color palette. Still, Bob, don’t forget to explore the purples and browns. Just make sure to keep the colors cool. As for accessories, silver-toned ones complement you better than gold-toned ones.

Officially, Bob’s wearing a pink bra and half-slip.Unofficially…Heavens to Betsy! (whoever she is)

I would say HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY to you, Stephan Pastis.But after that pun, forget it!
rgcviper over 11 years ago
That’s just wrong—on a few levels.
@Cyre“Snerk” is our (un?)-official GoComics way of laughing at a really good (or bad) joke.
EXCALABUR over 11 years ago
THAT IS SOOOO WRONG!

At my company the employee’s copy of the vacation request is pink. Go figure.

I suppose if Neighbor Bob had been laid off this would have been an X-rated strip.

Old joke is old…
Gokie5 over 11 years ago
It also prevents – uh – skirt wedgies, as it were.

Now even Goat is getting fed up with Pastis!

Is there something you’re trying to tell us. Just come out with it.LOL

I thought that Goat should have said “perversions” rather than “perversities”, but apparently the former is one of the meanings of the latter.
