Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 17, 2013

Rat the great champion of dictating how others should live at it again.

Well, he’s got a point. I’d probably get a lot more done at work if it weren’t for that pesky Internet (that, and my boss interrupting me to rant for 20 minutes about something that she’s just read on the Internet that she doesn’t like!).

Entertainment? It’s those pop-up ads that get in the way of my work.

I do intend to go and watch one YouTube video, and 2 hours later…

Yeah, I know how hard it is to stay focussed on work when I’ve got all these comments to read on GoComics…..

How dare they put the internet in front of my day?

And Six … me too!

Dunno about across the pond.but over here, they’re trying more and more to limit data use…They try to bribe you into accepting fewer hours of internet usage by offering unlimited talk and text….Excuse me? Do they think I have a smartphone for calling people?

I NEVER use the Internet.

Research never ends. That’s why scientists need endless government grants and why some of us never get our actual work done! So let’s blame it all on the Internet, ’cause that makes us feel better about ourselves….

You have to wonder just what was keeping Rat’s interest for three whole days. I’ve never seen any porn that good.

There’s a text-only browser called Lynx, which is really helpful if you just want to get information without having to download a bunch of distracting graphics.

Sure works great on this site…

“Oh, they have the internet on computers now.” – Homer Simpson

Homer; “Hmmmmm….it says next, press any key. ‘Any’ key, ‘any’ key..where’s the ‘any’ key??”

I’m overqualified for my job and usually get done my work way ahead of schedule. i’d go nuts if not for some internet diversion.

I agree with Goat on this one…

Internet distracts me a lot too.

LOL xxx

The internet, like the printing press, is an incomparable window to knowledge, one of revolutionary impact on the elevation of man. While the need to be selective is important, it is incredible to me that someone, apparently proud of their ignorance, would boast that they never use it (as did an earlier poster).

“Three days” Is that all?

Here’s a sort of strange irony, I’m reading this comic when I should be writing, so a comic about how the internet can keep you from working is keeping me from working.

Must have been caught up on TVTropes.com

I agree with rat whenever i try to get work done i end up playing minecraft instead. Its a problem.
