Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 21, 2024

Being single means you’ll have more time to pop bubble wrap.

Weird Al would call him white and nerdy.

Better off without her.

Sorry to pops your bubble, Pig, but this way you is always will be single.

Take your bubble wrap to an NRA convention and see if it sounds like guns.

Congrats pig, a cheap way out

Bubble pop bubble pop help me help me I can’t stop!

Shouldn’t Pigita’s name be “Sow”?

Pigita, meet Velma and Luby from Over the Hedge. If you’re looking for adventure of a new and different kind, they might be up to accommodate you.

Lucky you!

Pig, are you “Swining” for her?!

Pigita! Haven’t seen her for a while!

“They” have actually discontinued production of the brand named “Bubble Wrap”, so I’m told. Though something very similar does arrive at our house far too often for my preferences.

Pro tip: Fold it into a 6 inch strip and drive over it with your car.

Pig should’ve popped over to Pigita’s place instead.

Stick by your decision, Pig. When scheduling one’s day, one must set priorities!

There is a bubble wrap popping app on the apple site

He should have invited her.

She should have squealed with delight, popped over there, then they could ham it up together.

Your bubble done been popped!!

That, and at least it wasn’t just: “Pig, we need to talk….”

I don’t think that’s six hours worth of wrap there, Pig.

He shouldn’t have called her on a day that he was going to be so busy.

Forget her, Pig. She clearly expects way too much from you!

We haven’t seen Pigita in a while. Too bad her return ends up in another breakup.

Bubble Wrap is awesome! Nobody is going to call it “Bubble Cushioning”.

Bubble wrap > having a girlfriend.

My grandkids would do that for 6 hours.

I once had a relationship that could easily have been replaced by bubble wrap if I had been a bit older and wiser at the time.

He’s happier than a pig in sl—bubble wrap.

I wish I had some bubble wrap to pop.

No matter what one is doing, when the girlfriend says, “We have to talk about your …” you know the relationship is finished.

I guess Pigita thinks that popping bubble wrap is not mature.

I used to put it on the floor and roll my office chair over it. It made a great, rapid firing sound.

Doesn’t

Pigita? I didn’t realize she was still around.

And there’s nothing immature about popping bubble wrap.

She was too mature for him anyway

At work, I used to run over it with my chair! Fun :-)

Wait…you mean…she’s not okay with popping bubble wrap?? You dodged a bullet there, Pig!…(altho six hours does seem a bit extreme)

I work as a custodian at an elementary school. Recently I hear popping sounds and was wondering what it could be as there were only two people on campus (myself and another custodian). I went to check on him as I wasn’t sure what the noise was. Turned out he found some bubble wrap being tossed out in the curriculum room and he was popping it! The sound were echoing off the portable buildings giving the faint hint of sounding like gun fire. I guess popping bubble wrap is something you never outgrow.

You don’t do that unless you’re planning to really annoy somebody who deserves it

Not even close.

Bubble wrap is now unpoppable. An era has ended,

Yeah..
