Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 16, 2019

1- No ones “gotta hear” about your trip to Europe. Some may want to, but most would rather watch paint dry.

2- If someone says they’re busy on the phone, take the hint and walk away; don’t snoop on them.

I read Steves other series Timmy Failure today. Timmy Failure Now look what you’ve done has Mario in it

If it’s a cat it could be an obscene phone call…

While I have gone on one European trip with my older brother a few years back (just a week in England), I am impressed with my brother going to various places in the world with his flight attendant wife; their approximate three-month-old son hasn’t tagged along yet. So there are times I would like to tag along as well on one of their trips.

Why doesn’t he admit to being jealous of Neighbor Bob instead of being so mousy?

Rat watches cat videos?! Guilty pleasure, indeed.

It seems Rat has no interest in watching what his relatives with bubonic plague are doing in Europe.

To Pig: Europe! From Pig: No, I’m not.

And from last season’s Amazing Race: In Europe, 10 countries, 22 cities, 4 lost passports, 3 muggings, 2 missing contestants, 88 wasted minutes, 5 detour malfunctions, 6 half-hour penalties, and four eliminations later….

Sometimes, neighbour Bob really gets what he deserves.

Poor Bob. No one wants to hear about his trip. Half the joy is gone!

Hey Bob next time keep the money here and visit nine states ! …….Trouble with the new phones and face recognition is the phone can now see what is going on by it’s owner and others. How’s that privacy thing working for you ?

Sometime cat videos are the most important thing in your life.

He went to 9 countries? I guess none would keep him………….

I can browse on my phone while I’m on a call. It’s not difficult. Cat videos wouldn’t be my first choice, though.

Hell is other people’s vacation stories.

Next update will fix it!

Cat videos? I guess Rat is into horror stories.

Sometimes your (Eur)up…sometimes your down(ton Abbey!)lol…

“Well yes, I’m watching cat videos while chatting on the phone, it’s called multitasking, I don’t need my ears to watch the video and I don’t need my eyes to talk…”

Rat was not lying, Neighbor Bob (the Expendable). He was “on phone” watching cat videos; he never said that he was on phone doing something else (like talking to another person, which, in ancient times, is what phones were for)….

No problem, Rat. I’ll just text you the photos – one at a time.

Rat already confirmed he is a phony.

At least Stephan didn’t misspell “Nine”. Bob would have looked stupid for saying he went to Europe and visited zero countries.

Yes, ON his phone …

My neighbors had us over to watch the video they shot of their trip. At one point, they had the camera on the floor of the rental car, and managed to bump “Record.” 30 minutes of idle chit-chat and arguing about their trip while watching the back seat. Actually the most enjoyable part!

That’s a new text bubble, it’s clear

He technically is “on phone”
