Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 21, 2012

So the drawer is like a Tardis. It’s bigger on the inside. Or that’s a rare Amish magician. Like Houdini. Except he was Jewish, not Amish. Slight difference there.

I, a great-grandson of a former Amish man, find an Amish man in that catch-all drawer a bit unusual too.

hahaha…that was random :D

Even without the need for modern technology, the Amish man would not survive long in the catch-all drawer. I don’t think this happened.

Then again, maybe the Amish man foraged for kitchen scraps late at night after everyone was asleep . . .

I think that happens in my drawer

… before somebody asks how a full-grown Amish man can fit inside that little drawer, let me take a moment to remind everybody …… cartoon physics …… anything is possible if it’s funny …

Name this song:“As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grainI take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain…”

Hahaha…my grandaughter and I just cleaned out our junk drawer Friday…found everything but the Amish man, but we did find a Santa Claus.

Maybe this explains the strange things I periodically find in my catch-all drawer. Does every catch-all drawer have an Amish Man acting as manager? Why not?

How does Rat know the Amish man is unusual if he doesn’t even know him?

I think the hat was in the drawer. The guy was just one of those lame guys who won’t grow a mustache, who went in after it.

oh my i think i might have 2 or 3 catch all drawers in my room (with that mysterious key and lighters)

I always call it, “My hardware drawer.”

I cleaned my drawer last week and found a Spiro Agnew watch.

Seriously weird, Stephan… love it!

I ALWAYS clean out my catch-all drawer – haven’t seen any Amish men in months!

haha

Keep looking, Rat. His horse and buggy is probably in there someplace.

I shudder to think what I’ll find in my “catch-all” room upstairs!

I think my apt. Is turning into a catch-all,I hear eBay calling…

Don’t think I like the idea of any guy in my drawers…

Hahahahahaha!

5/5!

Maybe Pigita put the Amish man in there—because now she wants to Menonite?

An Amish man always has an Amish man in his drawers.

Rat looking to Pig for ideas? Pig showing light to Rat?You know they gotta be real friends to each other…Talk about Bungle in the jungle!

He looks too Mennonite to me…

Mine has boxing gloves, college textbooks, a hand-held fan, a German newspaper, an official program from Wrestlemania XX, and the connecting rod from a top fuel drag car.

And there is a picture of an Amish man. I guess everything’s possible in Pearls.

I don’t get it.Sincerely,Amos Stoltzfus

BTW, the song is Living in an Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovich.

I adore the random absurdity of this comic.

Soooo …. they gonna release the Amish dude, or hold him prisoner?

i was wondering what we did with that.

I like Pearls Before Swine so much sometimes I think I’ll freaking explode.

They’re not saying the Amish man himself is unusual, they’re saying it’s unusual that he was where he was.

Nice Pythonesque touch.
