Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 14, 2013

Hmmmm its $10 here is the Philippines, BWaaaa Haaaa haaaa Haaaaaa

Pig, just get her some nice jewelry. You can get some REALLY good stuff from your local pawn shop at that price. A diamond lasts forever, a rose lasts a few days.

In Japan, girls give us GUYS chocolates on Valentines Day! Bwahahahahaa!!! Take that, Coinguy! :-D

@ Coinguy: Yeah, but the last-minute air fare and there kind of ruins it.

That florist . . . sounds like the sap has gone to his head . . .

And that’s why Valentine’s Day is in the winter. If it were summer, everyone could grow and pick their own roses!

I’m an idiot. I just paid 3 Euros for half a dozen small tulips from Lidl. I know, they won’t last. But I like cut flowers and DH doesn’t see the need.

Hey flowers are free on the internet:

They kinda smell like a monitor, though…

Pig brings the roses to Rat. Just as I thought!

My wife used to be a florist. Worked hard all year for tiny profits, but a couple times a year (V-day and Mother’s Day) supply and demand helped make it worthwhile. The laborer is worthy of his (or her) reward.

From today’s Lost Side of Suburbia… “Prolonged pun exposure can be perilous. Have you ever had to write puns, Mr. Slynderfell?… Try doing it for years, Mr. Slynderfell. Years and years of bad puns. It’s soul sucking work, Mr. Slynderfell. You die inside.”

Of course the price will go up. Everything for Valentine’s goes up so that you can be “romantic” for just one day of the year.

screw flowers, just get them jewelry.

Doubling the price is not exponential growth.

I paid under $15 for the dozen roses I bought … the US attempts to refocus the Columbian drug growers has really affected rose prices.

Pastis NEVER thinly disguises his puns.

They won’t even try giving them away tomorrow, either. They’ll just go back to their regular price, no 75% or 80% off sale. Jack the price up rather than lowering it for the day. Imagine lowering the price of a dozen roses by 25%, Pig would probably buy two dozen roses for Pigita if he had to pay $56.25 a dozen.

Susan, I love the smell of monitors in the morning….BTW, how was your tomato crop this year?….Mine was the best ever!

ditto.

It may be a thinly disguised pun (which I though of as well), but it’s not a Pastis pun. Pastis puns are horrible, in your face affairs. They cannot_be_ thinly disguised, because their whole point simply abhors disguise of any kind.

That florist has thorns!

Set your girlfriend/wife’s clocks back 24 hours.Celebrate Valentines on the 15th when flowers are cheaper again.

Where did Pig get $150???

It’s probably a sign of some sickness that the most disturbing thing to me from this comic is the misuse of the mathematical term. Going from $75 to $150 is a linear power expansion, not an exponential one.

Why hasn’t obama complained about this obvious price gouging. He’s totally useless.

Love the flowers Susan. LOL Funny one today. Happy heart day all.

Very funny!

LOL xxx

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, EVERYONE!

May you all have a wonderful day.

It’s the aroma of all those flowers that makes them crazy.

Ah Valentine’s day, the one day I enjoy being single.

m,

“Send me dead flowers on my wedding and I won’t forget to put roses on your grave”

I go by a furneral home twice a day…

Pig, it’s your fault for waiting until the day to buy flowers. Anyway, Pigita doesn’t deserve flowers, nor anything else. She is an abomination.Un-die Sweet Fanny!

This gag was done a lot funnier in the Married with Children episode “Valentine’s Day Massacre.”:Happy V.D., everyone!

75-150 is geometricallynot exponentialy..

This is why my wife and I get flowers a week or two before or week or two after, we would rather get a dozen for 12 dollars instead of 50+ near the holiday.

That flower guy looks a little short to me.

Um … Pig? You coulda gone to a different store for a better price.

Just sayin’.

Hey. even $75 is a lot for a dozen roses.

Me bite hees hed off.

I can’t understand spending that much money on a bunch of flowers you throw out in a week. Just buy broccoli. At least you can eat that.
