Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 25, 2016

Do you really want these people looking after your kids?

I really hope those are just pools of beer on the floor…

anyone thinking of Roger Miller song “Chug-a-Lug” right now?

No, no, it’s “Knit a recliner,” and “Sit in Jeopardy…”

Aging Party Animals? ROFL

Where’s Larry the Croc ? I think he’d be right at home there.

As Toby said in a song “I ant’t as good as I once was”

But I’m good once as I ever was!!!!

Neighbor Nancy’s folks’ itinerary is “loaded”.

Those are cans of Ensure….

You have to get old, but you don’t have to grow up.

I was thinking this is a great way to drink your Metamucil (or prune juice or whatever old people drink).

they’re gonna die of alcohol poisoning

HEY! I watch Jeopardy and I’m not old! I’m only sixty——-four….years……Can I come to the party?

Yeah, for me and Robert Earl Keen and rest of the aging party animals, the road goes on forever and the party never ends.

does anyone have the old Far Side where the cow is dancing on the table and wife is telling huuby “I told you that you shouldn’t invite them in for a drink”?

@dinkytown I prefer the Highwaymen’s version. Willie, Waylon, Kris and, Johnny. Legends!

Not all seniors belong to the Legion.. unfair.

Must a contest to see how often they have to run to the restroom, every 30 seconds or so

They’re in their second childhood. It’s their way of playing trains.Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug,Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug,Woo, Woo!

I’m pretty sure this is just how it goes down at my great aunts’ senior citizen apartment complex. They refer to it as Melrose Place.

There’s a difference between want to visit with the grandkids and being forced to be 24/7, 365 unpaid daycare. And that’s what Neighbor Nancy is actually trying to do.

Geritol and Metamucil?

Please, please, NOT strip poker, please, please, please.

Any damned thing they want. They paid their dues. Buzz off!

Sorry but no matter how young you try to be you’ll always be getting older.

Accept it.

I took up chemistry as a hobby after retiring. I successfully turn alcohol into urine several times daily.

My get up and go just passed out!

YAY for Grandma and Grandpa! They are a wild and crazy couple, young at heart (“you have to grow old, but you don’t have to grow up”). I wish Neighbor Nancy would stop bugging them and take responsibility for her own little kids….

Nancy’s parents are only in their mid to upper 40’s. Hiding from her and the grandkids have aged them as well as the drinking from the pressure of bob-and-weave they have to do for the hiding.

Parents like that is why grandparents move to Florida.

As I was reading today’s strip, I was in my recliner, my knitting in my lap, watching Jeopardy. But I was square back in college in the sixties.

time to drink a yard of ale

Roger Miller personified the phrase “Life fast, die young…”I seriously miss that guy…

Wait until YOU get old, Neighbor Nancy…

What if you saw your parents do that!

Old man Johnson then passed away due to his liver deciding to stop existing
