Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 05, 2023

The spider bought a ticket.

This strip made me guffaw.

They heard he was a real pest.

they told him to buzz off!

No fleaing the scene.

The fly was the only one who liked the smell of fart guy, but they wouldn’t let them sit together.

I would like to have a no-fly list on my house.

Are race car drivers racist by definition?

Excellent strip today!

While he was on the plane, the spider couldn’t access his web site.

Now what is the spider going to have for dinner?

Get that Baseball bat!

It may speciesist, but it’s not racist.

McFly? Is he related to Marty?

At least he didn’t get stomped by TSA.

Another useless, intrusive government agency.I am really surprised in that it has been years since they (and Homeland Security) have announced that they had thwarted another “terrorist attack”, OR raised the "threat level’ from yellow to red. (OR took someone off to secondary screening, because his socks did NOT match, or because her middle initial was on the "no-fly’ list.Just another way for the government (and the MEDIA) to instill fear amongst the sheep.

Those arachnids get special treatment! So unfair!

They kept you off for your own protection, since the spider was on.

I’ll bet he was told to buzz off.

Unless they were wearing some sort of sweat pants, athletic/gym shorts, lounge pants or pajama bottoms, men were barred for the same reason.

lmao

cute

Give us a break, Fly, we all know that’s not what happened. We’ve seen the video. You boarded the plane but were removed after causing a disturbance by hysterically claiming the spider was “not real.”

Sounds like a bunch of bugots!

Call me what you want, but my home is a no-fly zone

So who’s carrying your luggage?

I wonder if he’s Mike Pence’s pet fly

Any relation to Marty McFly?

The fly must have packed everything he owns, considering the size of his luggage. I assume that’s his luggage with him.

You’re a fly. Wing it.

It’s NOT racist. It’s speciest.

I’m glad that happened. Flies on an airplane are really annoying.

Did they call the SWAT team?

I never hat an encounter with any insect on any of the planes I boarded in my life. Every single one had the AC on freezing. So had there been a fly it would be lying on the ground barely stirring.

I’m sorry I read this.

TSA is one of the costliest implementations of business socialism in the US. A 7 billion plus subsidy of a commerce already heavily subsidized by the government.

Spiders do balloon. Filled my mouth with them while bike racing in the boonies.

That would bug me too..

I’m guessing this fly came from a local McDonalds.

Tain’t funny, Pastis.

Somebody needs a special reserved spot in punitentiary.

“McFry!”

TSA gave another insect the VIP treatment.

They said he was a beetle.

GROAN.

There’s such a thing as LEFTOVER PIZZA???

Okay, Cartoon-Boy, you’re gonna pay for this one! Such a low-down, scurvy pun! May a wild fly fly up your nose!

Two flies are on the porch. Which one is the movie star? The one on the screen. Two flies are in the kitchen. Which one loves cowboys? The one on the range.

Of course, the spider walked right on. He got his tickets on the web.

… I’ll just see myself out.

Maybe you should’ve tried to go on as the spider’s carrion.
