Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 04, 2015

Today’s background music: “Five O’Clock World” by The Vogues.

…never understood why it’s called that…

Probably the first PBS strip that has no bad pun whatsoever. Great job!

I’ll never understand the modern concept of happy hour. You gotta go out and down alcohol, possibly getting drunk, just to be happy makes no sense to me. They oughta call it drown your sorrows hour.

Don’t much favor Happy Hour as a commercial concept, but I’ll endorse a Tea Time Refreshing Beverage—especially if with it comes Pig dancing on the bar!

You should have seen him back at 4:20.

I’d drink too, if I was only happy one hour out of twenty-four.

We have ways to make you smile… Be happy or else!

That’s the spirit!

I think it’s because people are happy to be off work.

Rat is doing shots and chasers.

They will be as soon as they get hammered

Because it’s five o’clock -— happy to be done with work for the day.

Happy Hour specials are hard to find these days. Too many restrictions in place. As I write this, it’s 5:47 in Zanzibar. Skol. Prosit. Chin chin. Salut and all that stuff!!

Not since 1972.

well i got up this morning and i got myself a beer…

? why is happy hour usually anywhere from 2 to 7 hours? shouldn’t it be happy hours?

If only rush hour were just one hour.

I smiled at Pig’s joy!

folk song from australia" nothing so dark and so drear, as to find that the pub has run out of beer" something like that, haven’t heard it in a while

Rat looks ill.

Oh right… It’s the booze and cigarettes.

Silly me.
