Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 13, 2023

At least Rat has a reason to meet new people.

How often is one unlucky enough to meet an accordion player?

Could be an interesting game!

Lucky Rat!

Smokes? Rat, you smoke. Don’t be a hypocrite, that’s even worse.

In high school, people kept asking “Is that book any good?” when I was reading. I replied “No, but I’m a miserable sinner and must make up for my sins by reading this book forever. Or until I reach the end. Whichever comes first.”

And with only 1 person.

Then again that 1 person can possibly cover the card.

Rat plays the American idiot game, he is quite brave!

My brother does most of those things, I do the rest.

Someone playing a similar game of bingo with a similar bingo card could probably pretty easily get a bingo from Rat.

I like “cyclist”. Don’t let “One f Jef” see it.

He’s missing a square for annoying rodent.

“Unless of course it’s Myron Floren music…” from the album “A Child’s Garden of Grass”.

You forgot, slapping the bar.

lmao

Wears sunglasses indoors should add “at night” and there should be a place for “Farts, including silent church sneakers”

Uh oh, I frequently whistle

I could care less about most of those traits. Most, not all.

Cyclist. LOL

Annoying Rat Game: Hits people with bats; Mean; Polarized; Judgmental; Doesn’t like puns; ….

I think Rat might fit some of those options just fine.

We used to play “buzzword BINGO” at work. The card was filled with phrases such as “Synergy”, “Think Outside the Box”, “Bandwidth”, etc. Play these at staff meetings..

Should also have blows nose in public.Far worse than a cyclist

Five right in a row. Lucky find, Rat!

bingo on 1 guy. cool. shocked some of the others weren’t circled

Shouldn’t cyclist be a free space?

My grandfather, from Italy, played the accordion‼️

Those are the most fondness memories I have of him ‼️

Me just knews cyclist would be there somewhere on that list.

Jason Webley – none better

Rat’s just telling it like it is…

I wear sunglasses because I’m afraid of getting cataracts, but don’t think it helps

Reminds me of walmart bingo: poopy diaper in parking lot; dude with 3 teeth; kid with dirty t-shirt tuned inside out; woman 4 feet wide inthe beam on a scooter 12 inches wide…

Also forgotten: “Passes Gas!” :)

If you were my Norwegian mother who loved Lawrence Welk and got to see Myron Floren in action doing his thang.

forgot " —takes “service” dog into grocery store

Go for the coverall!

Thank you Stephan, I thought you have given up, or had someone else write/draw for a while, or were phoning them in – but lo and behold a really great one, Bravo bravissimo…

You forgot the ENTIRE BOTTOM ROW: brings up politics for no reason. Instabingo!

I like this game! :-)

you forgot Leg Shaker

Feel like on phone should be marked. If not, I want to eat in that cafe.

No one mentioned Wisconsin especially during October Fest. Polka On!

As if Rat doesn’t smoke.

Reminds me of working register during a cold snap and having at least three brain-dead old men stromp up and go “COLD ENOUGH FOR YA!”. The mindless things people do for recreation when their heads don’t work so well anymore…

I’d get Bingo all the time with my neighbor.

I see quite a few that apply to Rat on that board.

Like Barney’s bingo game from an episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’, Rat is the only playing this game.

The Annoying Guy Bingo Game is a true winner, Rat! I’d play it anytime!

“Sits next to me in an otherwise empty restaurant and plays their phone at max volume while I’m trying to read” wouldn’t fit, I suppose.

As a cyclist, can confirm.

You missed “Plays videos/games on phone with speaker volume up”
