Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 10, 2020

At least we don’t have to anymore go through that social awkwardness of trying to figure whom to kiss hello.

every autistic person’s dream!

I certainly wouldn’t want a rat within 6 feet of me, coronavirus or no.

Not that Rat, anyway.

No Rat , you are asocial .

During all of this I have discovered many people I actually would touch with a 10’ pole. Well, not so much “touch” as strike forcibly and repeatedly.

All of us at GoComics maintain total social distancing.

So what are the general rules of engagement if you have the Modelovirus?

Rat joined Bucky Katt’s antisocial networking a long time ago!

Hummmm …. wonder how the Crocs are handling this virus ? … Croc Power !

i’m with rat – i want my neighbors to stay far, far away…

You forgot that we a virus? When you consume alcohol, you lose all matter of attention.

Rat, all you have to do is go six feet under, and all your neighbours would be happier! :D

Think we’ve all been social distancing from certain people for years.

Same here, Rat, Same here

I was commenting to my grandson the other day as we were in a local store that having people stay six feet away from me no longer feels anti-social or creepy.

If you can judge lengths in the first three panels by Neighbor Bob’s height, then Rat has gotten a lot close to him than 6 feet.

I used to think that some people were standing uncomfortably close to me when we spoke; now everyone is uncomfortably far away.

While Rat is at most 4 ft away from him.

At least nobody will get in our face.

I want social distancing all the time !!!!!!

“Social Distancing” could be the title of my autobiography. Something I have gotten very used to over the decades. But now, I find that I resent being told that this is what I am supposed to do. How dare they tell me to live my “normal” lifestyle!

Pig might be hoping for a little distancing right now.

So Rat seriously was not aware of COVID-19?

I am ahead of the times… I am a professional.

We can run, but we cannot escape. Time for my morning Prozac.

So the Pizza Hut $7.99 carry out special is now the $9.99 delivery special. Way to gouge us, you’ve lost me as a customer.

Since social distancing was instituted, my inappropriate groping has become much more challenging.

Speaking of one being ahead of their time, it seems Gene Roddenberry had it right with the Vulcan salute. Shaking hands is so 20th century.

See, if we all had 6’ poles the problem would be solved. Well, for rat maybe a 10 footer would be better.

Steering well clear of Rat works for me….

Neighbor Bob seemed like the kind of idiot that would totally ignore all guidelines and probably doesn’t even believe the virus is a threat. Like, he still has his obnoxiously loud parties at night regardless.
