Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 12, 2015

Short People got no reasonTo Live.

Was he expecting to see “The Rocky Horror Show”?

Is it me, or is goat growing in each panel? Maybe the seats are shrinking.

Never did school plays. Don’t think I missed out on much.

What’s puzzling me is, what are they doing at an elementary school play?

Chair backs are different. The guy gets larger. Goat gets larger. Stephan has an attention to detail problem. He must be concentrating on funny. Once again another lack of concentration.

I’m 4 feet 11 inches tall. Thanks a lot Stephan! You too, Randy. Boo to you both! Don’t forget, good things come in small packages. :)

Shame on Pig for his anti-short people prejudice!You’re not all that tall yourself, Pig!(From Rat, I expect no better.)

Was this a Larry and Bob Croc production ?

My wife’s a shade over 5’1" and a real DIY dynamo. I love how other guys (especially independent contractors) will underestimate her until she shuts them up by proving them wrong. Good things DO come in small packages and if you don’t think so, speak softly…some of them can swing a hammer.

@SukieCrandall (from yesterday)A Christmas Carol is one of my favs too. Every Christmas, I read the original Dickens book and then watch at least one or two productions including Scrooged.

This has nothing to do with today’s strip, but I saw a coupon for “Italy’s Most Loved” pasta yesterday, and it occurred to me that if the Gilda Radner character got a package of it and then added some of the stuff the Israelites survived on while they wandered in the wilderness, the result would be Roseanne Roseannadanna’s Giovanni Rana can o’manna recipe.

I never thought Rat could sink that low.Oh wait. Yes I could.xxx

Short or tall, He gives us all his love. Randy Newman’s “He Gives Us All His Love” – just the song or, with clips from “Cold Turkey.” (Song starts at 1:48.)

Says Pig who has to stand on his seat to be seen.

Wednesday Addams: “Your work is puerile and under-dramatized. You lack any sense of structure, character and the Aristotelian unities.”

Gary: “Young lady, I am getting just a tad tired of your attitude problem.”
