Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 16, 2020

“No, you can’t. I forgot the WiFi password ;-).

These are also terrible times for goodness .

oh, drat

I never really liked genies…

Pig shouldn’t have been rubbing the lamp anyway; he doesn’t seem to have any hand sanitizer.

I farted so hard, any Covid that was in me got blasted out my bungus at Mach 2.

Can he at least open their garage door?

So, is Rat saying all the Genie’s are now Meany Wienies? That sucks!

To quote a famous Bugs/Daffy cartoon: You have desecrated the spirit of the lamp. Prepare to take the consequences!

Rat: “They’re not so flippin’ ingenious after all!”

Zoom was the center piece of O.T.H. today ! … Croc Power !

so we can’t wish covid-19 away

I thought genies didn’t like pigs.

Your every wish is not exactly his command.

He didn’t even ask “Are you in, genius”?

I thought Genie had light brown hair? Oh, that’s Jeanie, but then there is Barbara Eden…!

But what would Pig have wished?

None of them are wearing masks either!

Even magical creatures aren’t safe from this.

Where are the maaaasks???!!

If Pig and Rat knew what genies really are, they would not touch that lamp with a barge pole. Genies were the original gods of Arabia before being banished by Muhammad, and they were a nasty lot even before being banished.

Wow Barbara Eden, you’ve let yourself go, but I’ll be happy to rub you anyway.

That genie is a genius.

The long reach of COVID-19…

I dream of genie with the light brown hair..and I get a bald one, with an Amish beard? What’s wrong with this lamp?

Practical, bearded genie. And I’m glad to see that he’s technologically au courant.

What did you expect these gloomy days, Pig? You should have ignored Rat’s advice to rub a random Magic Lamp—it might have housed an Evil Genie, ya know….

What if I wished Covid-19 never existed?

I have a shoebox full of wishes. Should probably donate a few

This is The sheeples favorite strip

I prefer Barbara Eden anyway.
