Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 06, 2013

Don’t forget that lint in your belly buttons, guys!

But Rat and Pig don’t wear clothes …

You could at least try felting it first.

isn’t lint really flammable?

First, what the heck are Rat and Pig washing and drying? They don’t wear clothes. Second, Pig looks like Chuckie the sheep in his “outfit” there.

All good questions.

Recycle your lint! And dye it Green!

It’s lintsane

Actually, most lint is sloughed off human skin cells. Ever wonder why it is usually grey? And why even synthetics have lint?

Jukeofurl…. no, it’s excel-lint!And Bruno…that’s what I sai….oh, you knew that.:)

Gee thanks, Otto!Hey, maybe that’s why pig’s get-up fits him like a second skin.

(Actually, to me he looks like a snowbaby in one of those old paperweights.)

If the dryer steals the lint, how do you clean your new lint clothing?

Nice idea, unless you live in apartment buiding with hairy neighbours with cats. shudder

OMG, Pig! What has Rat done to you? You look so… linty!Goat, let’s amscray….

Everytime I use my dryer I clean the lint trap. Helps prevent a fire as the lint doesn’t build up inside the dryer and the venting as quickly as if it’s not cleaned out. Also every so often take a dryer brush to get more lint out and further reduce the risk of a dryer fire. Smart to clean it out.

But Pig and Rat are complete idiots here. You ever notice how dirty your hand feels cleaning that lint trap? I mean your clothes are supposed to be clean when they go in. But the lint feels nasty like it’s made up of what dirt the washing machine didn’t get out completely.

A pig in sheep’s clothing…

Lintsanity.

At least Pig has warm……….clothes!?

Coming to an Etsy store soon

So….what are you giving up for lint? I’m going without fabric softener……..and Fat Tuesday is once again right before Ash Wednesday…..what are the odds?.Packzi for everyone!

That’s a bad pun.

Household DUST consists mostly of shed skin cells. Lint is cloth fiber shed by clothing, as per Rat. We used the latter as kindling in Boy Scouts for flint and steel firestarting contests.

I saw a story one time about a lady who washes and dries different colored towels and then glues the pieces of lint onto a canvas. They were pretty.

I thought that lint was always the missing sock!

Didn’t Pooh have a friend named Piglint?

Pig plans on giving up his clothes for lint this Easter.

A head to toe lint suit would only look good on Pig.

I’d throw them, for sure!

I always say – with all the lint in the dryer, I’m surprised our clothes aren’t falling off of us in pieces.

Otto ……. household DUST is mostly comprised of shed human skin cells. Rat is right about the origin of lint. Btw, in my Boy Scout days, we used lint as tinder in the flint and steel firestarting contests.

Looks like Pig has been on navel maneuvers.

Dran right. You save enough lint then pretty soon you have a new towel.

Know how you can tell if you’re related to Raggedy Andy?

Check your belly-button for lint!

Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy was he?

The lint in my dryer screen is about 90% dog hair. I could build a whole kennel full of dogs with my dryer lint.

That must be so soft.

if pig painted his face, he would look like a black sheep
