Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 12, 2015
Transcript:
Rat: BOOOOOOO. Goat: What do you think you're doing? Rat: Booing this play. The acting is amateurish. The singing is poor. And the production value is not up to par. Goat: It's a fifth grade school play. Rat: I THOUGHT they were rather short. Pig: Booooo, short people!

Is it me, or is goat growing in each panel? Maybe the seats are shrinking.

What’s puzzling me is, what are they doing at an elementary school play?

Chair backs are different. The guy gets larger. Goat gets larger. Stephan has an attention to detail problem. He must be concentrating on funny. Once again another lack of concentration.

I’m 4 feet 11 inches tall. Thanks a lot Stephan! You too, Randy. Boo to you both! Don’t forget, good things come in small packages. :)

My wife’s a shade over 5’1" and a real DIY dynamo. I love how other guys (especially independent contractors) will underestimate her until she shuts them up by proving them wrong. Good things DO come in small packages and if you don’t think so, speak softly…some of them can swing a hammer.

@SukieCrandall (from yesterday)A Christmas Carol is one of my favs too. Every Christmas, I read the original Dickens book and then watch at least one or two productions including Scrooged.

This has nothing to do with today’s strip, but I saw a coupon for “Italy’s Most Loved” pasta yesterday, and it occurred to me that if the Gilda Radner character got a package of it and then added some of the stuff the Israelites survived on while they wandered in the wilderness, the result would be Roseanne Roseannadanna’s Giovanni Rana can o’manna recipe.

Short or tall, He gives us all his love. Randy Newman’s “He Gives Us All His Love” – just the song or, with clips from “Cold Turkey.” (Song starts at 1:48.)

Wednesday Addams: “Your work is puerile and under-dramatized. You lack any sense of structure, character and the Aristotelian unities.”
Gary: “Young lady, I am getting just a tad tired of your attitude problem.”
