Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 23, 2019

I would say you have a twisted relationship with the characters you have created.

Rat, you only have the life he gives you. Better be nice.

Yeah? I finished a jigsaw puzzle yesterday. A Big one.

Somehow, video games make us insensitive and isolated people. This is a way to waste time and life.

Rat quit poo pooing on Stephen’s life choices!

Woah, massive Rat smackdown!

The next highest player was attacked on BART during the last series of games.

Unless there are no other players, they don’t have lives either.

But at least if the next-highest player has a life, then he’s SO close…

I finished reading my yesterday’s GoComics line up!

Time to re-boot.

Steve makes Timmy Failure. I’m sure he can bring him in Pearls Before Swine to investigate you

Word game? I picture Pastis as Candy Crush guy. I mean, he makes a lot of word games in his comics but they’re really bad ones :D

I know! Damn you Wordscapes, Homescapes and Gardenscapes!

To each their own ….. Croc Power !

Good answer, Rat! Very good answer!

Anybody up for playing Angry Birds Tournament? @#%$&)

Those two really ganged up on Toon Boy.

Actually, I’m not sure that the next highest player, with say, 473 wins, has what a non-player would consider a “life” either. But hey, it keeps them off the streets.

Er, they aren’t playing while driving, are they?

I cleaned out the lint filter on the dryer and refilled the egg holders on the fridge door. Does anyone else remember when you had lint filters on washing machines? That was one icky job.

Sadly, I KNOW some people like Toon-Boy. They DON’T have a life other then what’s on their phone.

I was about to laugh at this and then I remembered that I keep score on my sumoku.

Rat nailed that one down…aren’t we all just a little like Pastis?

I walked into a room yesterday, and remembered what I went in for! For some reason, the local TV station wasn’t interested. :-(

I just finished my color-by-number app for today

Rat just burned Pastis – clever!

Wouldn’t a low scoring gamer have a life?

Who’s the bigger fool, the man who plays 624 word games on his phone,

or the fools that follow him on GoComics?

Steph’s hair is pink.

When did we begin believing that what “having a life” means to anyone else should mean what it means to us? What insufferable arrogance!

That got a giggle out of me.

What hurts, Cartoon-Boy? The Truth? You can’t handle the truth! (Don’t be so soft on him, Pig!)

That is a great response. However, someone could say the same about me reading half a book yesterday

Why does Stephan make his own characters put him through this?
