Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 28, 2025

I guess living next door to Rat causes your hair to fall out.

Heh, couple of my friends are identical twins born on a leap year.

I don’t know anybody that was born on the 29th of Feb

That was last year, Rat!

Leap day babies die so young. Tragic.

My wife’s father’s birthday was on the 14th… a valentine baby…

Bob looks different or is this a different Bob.

The question always becomes do you celebrate your birthday on February 28 (because you were born the last day of February) or on March 1 (because you were born after February 28).

But it seems pretty common that every 4 years you get a special celebration.

But this isn’t a leap year.

How many people know what day of the week they were born on? That thought crossed my mind at random a few years ago. I googled the calendar for my birth year and found I was born on a Saturday, which I was happy with.

legally able to go to a bar when you’re 6

My father was a Leap Year child… But we celebrated his birthday on the 28th… RIP, Dad. Miss you!

When the Viet Nam draft was invoked, I was 304 and my brother’s number was 365. He thought he had the highest number, but had forgotten they had to draw 366 numbers because of Leap Year.

Neighbor Bob looks…. weirder, now that he has a neck and light bulb-shaped head.

Bob has no mouth, he can’t complain, or thank you for a gift. Win win.

You don’t have to give him anything, you know.

Somehow I doubt Bob was going to invite him to the party!

A very merry Unbirthday to you,To you, A very merry Unbirthday to you, to you,It’s great to Drink to someone, and I guess that You will do, A very merry Unbirthday to you!

That looks like a different neighbor Bob than before.

Watch it, Rat! Neighbor Bob might have once been a pirate….

Leap year babies usually celebrate off years on February 28, don’t they?

Neighbor Bob doesn’t really care if he gets a present from Rat…. but thanks for the warning

I know someone who doesn’t have a birthday this year. He’s an adult but is officially about 12 or 13 years old.

He acts it too.

My mother-in-law never forgave her son for being born at 11:45pm on Feb 28, depriving her of flowers and a mention in the local newspaper for the first leap year baby.

I was born on Easter. In over 60 years, I’ve observed my birthday on Easter ONCE.

Like Rat needs a reason to be a jerk.

The purpose of Leap Year people is to reset all of earth’s timepieces which are off a whole day.

“Leap year babies are the best.”

The Pirates of Penzance agree.
