Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 29, 2013
Transcript:
Pig: You know, Steph, I'm sorry, but I don't think any of us asked you to join our basketball team. Would you like to? Pastis: Sure, Pig. I played a lot of basketball in the early '80s. Matter fact, I probably still have my old basketball shorts. Pig: Shorts are a little longer now, Steph. Rat: The horror! The horror!

So that’s why his eyes bug out!

for once, rat and I are in agreement!

He could use some Michael Cooper length socks to cover up a bit.
Bilan almost 12 years ago
Somehow, that’s even worse than seeing Rat with no shorts.
water_moon almost 12 years ago
I’m not sure it’s any worse than the “shorts” that are longer than my capri’s and hang half off their butts to boot.
Templo S.U.D. almost 12 years ago
The horror indeed, Rat. When Stephan goes back to the locker room to shower, destroy those shorts!

Could be worse…he could try to play in his Speedo.

rat’s ass is still preferable…

The only thing worse in 1980s sports than the shorts were the hairdos. At least Mr. Pastis does not put on a wig.

Basketball fashion..yay…-Please excuse me while I try to un-see this…

Too early to be subjected to such tragic images.
ajr58 almost 12 years ago
It could be worse – he could have thug sleeve tats.
imbaldeagle almost 12 years ago
No worse than an old guy in Speedos.
knight1192a almost 12 years ago
Looks almost like a fat man in a speedo. Just three sizes bigger than that horror

Apairo’legs Now!
And, if Stephen hasn’t played much since the ‘80s, tomorrow we’ll be hearing,
I love the smell of Bengay in the morning.

What has been seen…cannot be unseen.
Packratjohn Premium Member almost 12 years ago
That does it. From now on, I’m getting my fashion advice from “The Dinette Set”. Say, can I get these Speedos in a smaller size?
sarah413 Premium Member almost 12 years ago
Could be worse. Could be the Kardashian tribe in those shorts.
GoodQuestion Premium Member almost 12 years ago
I think I saw Steph wearing those in WalMart yesterday!! . . . ☻
ncalifgirl58 almost 12 years ago
One of the reasons I like basketball is the muscles. Bring on the short shorts! lol
singlefemalelaywer almost 12 years ago
That’s dead sexy………………………………….

I miss the shorter shorts in NBA matches. They were kinda sexy.
Digital Frog almost 12 years ago
Somebody short sheeted his shorts
Lyons Group, Inc. almost 12 years ago
I can see now why the NBA never drafted him.
CartoonServices.Com almost 12 years ago
You can almost see his dribbler!
Sherlock Watson almost 12 years ago
This could work to Stephan’s advantage; whenever a short person on the other team has the ball, Steph can make him give it up by getting in his face.:Enjoy that image, folks.

Gah my eyes
Digital Frog almost 12 years ago
That’s similar to Furniture Disease – where your chest falls into your drawers
GerardoDreadful almost 12 years ago
In the eighties, all the soccer players wore that kind or shorts all over the world.

Zebra’s been stuck on that island for a long time now.

My eyes! They burn!
P_Before_S_Fan almost 12 years ago
But Rat, Pig, Larry, Zebra, Goat, Mr.Snuffles and Guard Duck are all in the newd

Konrad used that line to describe the deep failings that can lurk in the heart of men. Here, it is used to describe really hairy legs, shown off in short shorts. Close second?
cindyrom4jesus almost 12 years ago
Magnum, PI would not have been the same if Tom Selleck had been wearing longer shorts.
rgcviper almost 12 years ago
Hey—today’s is still better than one from 2011 (I believe in November) where the characters discuss wearing clothes and then Pastis … makes an entrance. “My eyes!” times a bundle on that one.
