Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 29, 2022

Rat should get an extended warranty.

And if you throw in a few loaves and fishes, you can feed the whole neighborhood!

Now THAT’S the washing machine the orc invaders in Ukraine really need and want to steal…

Ooh, that gives me a chill, like a puff of frigid air.

Can I fit in there?

That appliance salesperson must have had one amazing spiel.

So … it’s sort of like a baptismal washing machine?

You’re gonna need a whole lot of detergent and bleach for that to work

In Rat’s case, it might be easier just to remove the sinner.

You have to wash with the blood of the lamb.

You still have to confess their existence.

I hope they sell a lot of them!!

They must fill up with holy water!

One of then is needed here in Michigan for the type of campaign promises that are being made , Whew ! ? One lies and then the other one lies ….and on and on : (

Sounds more like a baptising machine.

Rat must’ve washed himself, maybe that’s why Rat is missing in the fourth panel!

Getting Blood of the Lamb laundry detergent must be difficult.

unfortunately the folks who need it don’t think THEY are sinning

Confession is good for the soiled.

Let’s keep religion where it belongs…politics. /s. Sarcasm .

And the agitator gets them all stirred up.

There was an episode of Tales From The Darkside that had a laundry that would wash sins away. Then the owner won lottery and closed. It did not end well for the person having his sins washed.

He should get a Forgive-O-Matic.

dude, you got gipt.

Probably sold by Scientology.

So they’re delivering the Bible.

I’m down for that.

When Rat sins he gets it all over his clothes.

Makes sense, a lot of religions have an intense spin cycle.

Must have a pre-wash Oxy cycle

Which brand? Christian Aid, GD, WhirlPope or SamSin?

Guaranteed to make your whites get whiter.

The “Baptismal 500 Wash Machine”. It comes with the “Hang ’em High On the Cross Dryer”.

With Rat, that is the one appliance they definitely need the extended warranty for.

Put that next to his Fantasy Dryer. You tumble around in there and come out in the real world

Martin Luther might have some comments about the practice of buying forgiveness…

I can say without hesitation, none of my clothes or linens have ever committed a sin.

Hershel uses one every day, along with the Stable Genius, his Messiah.

Rat will wear it out in weeks.

The problem is that you don’t know if it washed away your sins until you die.

Sorry, Rat. You got scammed. I know others already mentioned this but Jesus Christ takes away your sins for free. You could have save yourself a few hundred/thousand dollars.

Check out Plenary Indulgence! The Bishop needs money for the wine!

Reminds me of the joke about the young couple that ends with,

“Washing machine.”

“It was a light load. I did it by hand.”

I have this model. Unfortunately the dryer that comes with it is a portal to Hell.

I really wish Pastis would not go down this path.

Technology that can remove sins?! You wish, brother!

… or the advertising is getting way out of hand.

Whose clothes are they washing in the original machine anyway?

what temperature to wash at?

The washing machine only takes holy water.
