The PBS Little Theatre Players are in fine fettle today-fortunately, not in Cleveland, the city where the river caught fire….

At first I thought it was my phone going off. I must have the same ringtone as the clevelander.

You know, when PeeWee got arrested, the court offered to appoint a lawyer for him, but he said he could get HIMSELF off.

Maybe we’re waking up. They sold us tap water in plastic bottles…what a fraud. Now people are waking up to the electronic leash that cellphones are…and expensive, too.
At least plastic water bottles didn’t give you cancer. Oh, wait…what does that say about cellphones?“Oh, nothing. What about you?”

that’s spooky . . . Rat and Pig can see me . . . see all of you other commenters . . . right now . . . Strange how the guy from Cleveland is off to the left of me. I’m facing north, to the west of him.

In the first panel Pig is in two places at once.Does that mean this strip was prerecorded?

There’s only one Pearls reader in Cleveland (“the Cleveland man”)? Doesn’t say much for their sense of humor. ‘Course, I’ve never been there, so can’t say for sure.

If my mobile phone ever rang in a classroom I would go beetroot red since my ringtone is The Pussycat Dolls.

Jeez, guy (girl?) – F Minus has over 37,000 subscribers on Go Comics, including me. He must be doing SOMETHING right with his strip.

Careful, nighthawks – jtpozenel is an old Cleveland boy…that may not be HIS phone ringing, of course.

who the hell has a cell phone that rings? Everyone has to have some clever little ditty to express themselves. Mine plays Popeye The Sailorman. (just kidding). Rats would play “One of These Days” by Pink Floyd. Pig’s would play “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. Rat would smash it with a bat.

That Cleveland guy really steams me.(Wondering how many will admit they got that…)

Wow. Some people just do not listen.

I want a device that causes massive feedback in cellphones that build in a loop eventually causing catastrophic explosion.

I have used 28 minutes so far this month. I’m not exactly tied to mine.

If you think you can yammer away on the phone without Rat finding out – guess again!

A comic doesn’t have to be funny all the time. I read Pearls Before Swine and other comics because I like a good story.
