Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 24, 2018

F

Well, Pastis CAN dish it out.

uh… what?

That sure is a tiny highway.

Groan.

Pastis has gone around the bend.

Where is Rat when you need him?

Good grief, Stephan!

If somebody has to take the low road, why not Cartoon Boy…?

A bell curve would sound better.

How about the cartoonist that drew it… several hours that you won’t get back

PASTIS, YOU ARE CRUEL!!

The twists and curves of life grade us.

Pastis: Talk about getting time back! How long did it take for this genius creation?

Actually more than six. I had to wait for it to load on the computer and then I read the comments….sigh.

Ah Yes the good old “How stupid am I compared to the rest of the class”

I wasn’t using it anyway.

At least there are no potholes.

I’m not getting bent out shape about this.

Mine too! Thanks Steve, Steph, Stephan, as the case may be.

That was too short, punish me again.

Better than 6 seconds reading the news

That might be a highway for remote control cars…

The professor and Pig are on the inside of the curve – much safer than where Stephan is standing.

How many Bob’s are in this strip?

Bob has been downgraded, Stephan is just degrading. Pig is now Grade A Pork, a grade up from Grade B Pork. And I downgrade on a curve so I don’t hit guys like Bob here.

On the “rote” again.

No pig left behind! Which means no pig can get ahead either. It’s a lose/lose situation. But under the “New Rules,” lose isn’t lose anymore, it’s a win!

If he’s going to grade, whether on a curve or somewhere else, shouldn’t he be using a bulldozer?

I wasn’t doing anything with it anyway….sigh….

If I get a low grade on that system, can I negotiate the curve?

That’s the route of the problem.

If he’ll sit on a small incline, he’ll get a good grade, too.

good one Stephen!

That’s a mighty tight curve!

On the next episode, Professor Bob grades on a scale. Maybe a sliding scale.

I WANT MY SIX SECONDS BACK!!!!!!!!

And here my wife has spent the day grading her student’s biology exams… in our house on Circle Drive!

Cartoon-Boy, may a speeding car careen off the curve and squash you into an even flatter 2-D existence!

Get your motor runnin’

Head out on the highway

I well remember those classes. Passing was always a big surprize. Electricity and Magnatism was not my strength, nor a lot more others or so it seems.

Checkmate Toon Boy – I took 5

NO! I WANT MY SIX SECONDS BACK!

when crocks come back?
