Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 28, 2017
Transcript:
Pig: How come every time I fall asleep while sitting in a chair, my head falls forward and wakes me up? Rat: Sleep gnomes. They push it forward just for the joy of watching it snap back. Goat: Maybe you should tell him about gravity. Rat: And ruin the fun? Pig: This will be my gnome-dome. It will keep out the gnomes.

Don’t tell Trump about this. He’ll build a wall around Nome, Alaska.

I have a feeling that Rat/Trump is thinking that if evolution, and its "smart-[a-word] folks who say we came by descending from monkeys, is only a disproven theory, then so is gravity.

Maybe Pig should march in the streets? That would certainly show those gnomes who’s the boss!

If gravity existed it would pull the birds out of the trees when they go to sleep.

It is fascinating watching someone sleep while sitting, with their head falling slowly forward and then jerking back. I am easily amused I guess.

Pig doesn’t know about the law of gravity, but then he never studied law.

On a train your head falls backwards because of the forward motion?

I would hate to see anybody fall asleep on a stool. The bang on the head when they fall will certainly wake them up!

The Gnome Dome sounds like a dungeons and dragons college football game.

I will refrain from saying how often my forehead has hit my computer keyboard late at night [technically, early in the morning]. It would be unseemly.
And, yet, I will not wear a colander!

Is it canon that Rat is now ALWAYS President? I seems like there continue to be strips like today’s where there is no indication that he is.
