Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 13, 2012

Do they remember your name, Jeff?

Probably not a “Betty” or a “Veronica.”

boy, how about those bike lanes huh…

Stephan Pastis makes an appearance in Dark Side of the Horse on 12 Feb, I think. DSOH is often a bit late updating. It is the current one available at the moment.

Calvin’s dad liked to go out. I don’t’ think he liked to come back, sometimes.

Is he sure his wife & kids are still there?

You mean Lance Armstrong forgot about Sheryl Crow? Not good, dude!

@darth geekboy…well, cycling is a single man’s activity if he’s a hammerhead like the above dude “Jeff”…it can be viewed as a wonderful family activity, too…gets everybody outside and off line!

Aha, Pig! Define “family”! Maybe Jeff is doing just fine with his bicycle and without his Betty (if “Betty” it really is). That’s cyclist Family Values….I’m not advocating, just describing.

What’s up with pig’s head in this strip? His forehead is so BIIIIGGGG

@JoanHelen,

You are right, Pastis is on DSOH today. Thanks.

Any relation to Jef Mallett? :)

Self absorbed schmuck

OK, one is “Raleigh,” another one is “Shimano,” and the little one is named “Trek.” Or was it “Easton,” “Scattante” and “Fuji?”

No wait, I think their names are “Cannondale,” “Bianchi” and “Specialized.” I’ll have to ask my wife, “Selle.”

I’ll never forget ol’ what’s her name…

Ride it while you can. I thought I’d always have the ability to get on a bike…I still do, but the day after and the day after that are no fun whatsoever…too bad, because the bike is the greatest piece of fun equipment ever designed for public use and viewing…

If his dog doesn’t recognize him, that’s when he knows he is gone too long.

Yes, Jeff. Pig is right.

You really should!

Odd. He’s wearing a helmet, so it can’t be from head trauma.

++++

Of course, we all spend plenty of time with our families, and not on gocomics. . . .

that would suck if that happened in rl.

He just has to look at that picture he has with him…oh wait, it came with the wallet!

Jeff’s wife should have ‘spoke up’.And you know what she should have put the spoke up!

You’re Fat! You’re Lazy! Share the road!

Jeff the cyclist better make sure his kids don’t look more like the milkman, or pool boy, or repairman…..

Golf widows, poker widows, even chss widows. Now there are cycling widows? Jeff should protect his equipment if he wants more kids.

I’m sure at least one of them is a “Betty”; his wife would kind of have to be… (I don’t know about roadies, but among mountain bikers, “Betty” is a generic nickname for female riders. Or just women in general.)

How come Pig’s left ear sticks up? Is it a Dilbert tie thing?
