Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 18, 2015

Important is in the eye of the beholder.

Duck will respond with an emoji.

Yep. Seemed Pig’s message pretty important.

Jeez. For the last 30 years, my brother has been showing Thoreau how to do it. He lives very deliberately in the woods in a small house he built himself by a pond he build as well. No job, no wife, no ex-wife, no dog (yes, a cat), no kids, no debt, no worries to speak of and he keeps himself busy doing just as he pleases. Simplify, simplify, simplify! But even HE has a (new) car and DSL internet!

Guard Duck’s response: “WTF?”

If that “Yo” is the sum-total of Pig’s message, Guard Duck and the Pony Express Rider both have a right to feel p*ssed off. On the other hand, we have to make allowances for the fact that it is Pig who wrote (!) it….

When did Pig start channeling Rocky?

Porn. Most men consider porn as important enough. But, this is Pig.

Is the rider waiting for a tip?

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Whuzup?

I certainly enjoyed this today.

Is it just me or does that Pony Express rider look a lot like Pastis?

upon further consideration, the rider looks more like stefan than teddy roosevelt. is this a relative, or did cartoon boy need a side job? should we be worried about his finances?

I’m not gonna ask how he grew a beard…

the delivery guy looks like Stephan Pastis

See the arrow in his hat? Knott’s Berry Farm used to have arrows riddling the train, until they took them out so they wouldn’t be offensive. Yup.

Anticlimax.

He must’ve rode through an Indian casino based on the arrow in his hat.

Why does the pony express guy look so much like Stephan? Except for the beard and hair color they look the same.

I wonder how the Pony Express got to be so famous. They only lasted for 18 months…..April 1860 – October 1861.

At least he doesn’t have to worry about Indian attacks. And before you ask, yes, I am. And if you call me a squaw, I’ll smack you upside the head!;)
