Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 28, 2013

Better luck next time.

the buck stopped there…

I’m surprised that ol’ George figured out how much inflation had happened after just a few days.

After flashing his teeth at her, he should have said, “Hey, baby, guess who’s got wood!”

George could’ve added 25¢ to the $1 tip. (At least it’s not Abraham at the bar and leaving a $5.01 tip.)

Make it reign George. . ..

I’m sure Ben Franklin would have had better luck. A C-Note is a much more effective turn-on.

Jackson is on the $20 and $500 or $1,000, I believe.Was told that, if Franklin became president, the Turkey would have been the national bird instead of the eagle.

Darn Punmeister, you got the Ben Franklin joke in first

I’m so old I remember when Pearls was funny. Maybe I’ll start reading Family Circus instead.

first apperance of georgies mouth

makes you wonder if Pastis actually tried this pick-up line, and had his face placed on a dollar bill.

Jackson is only on the $20. The $500 and up haven’t been printed since your grandparents were kids, but their portraits were: $500=William McKinley, $1,000=Grover Cleveland, $5,000=James Madison, $10,000=Salmon P. Chase, $100,000=Woodrow Wilson.

@epiphoney—re (Stephen) Grover Cleveland: he was the SECOND batchelor to be elected POTUS. He married Frances Folsom in the White House in June, 1885. Buchanan was a batchelor all his life.

@all PB4S fans—please see my comment at today’s “Ten Cats”. Thanx!

Ben Franklin is on the $100 bill and there’s a reason… He knew how to pick up women and it isn’t using a $1 bill…!

One month since we have seen the crocs. I loved the old Pearls; this stuff is just not funny.

I think that if the actual time-teleported George Washington, in the company of an anthropomorphic talking rat, were to walk into a bar, there would an enormous commotion and a viral storm of global media coverage.Is it possible this cartoon is not depicting actual events . . . . ?

During the Civil War, the first federal dollar notes had the Sec. of the Treasury, Salmon P Chase, on them (he was running for Prez, wanted the promotion)..He once paid a call on a lady friend, and instead of sending in his card with the servant, he folded a banknote so his portrait showed, and sent that in. He was not known for a sense of humor, but that was funny (she was Not Amused).

George Washinton looks like Marty Feldman in panel three.

He would have got a better reaction if he had stuck the bill in her cleavage.

White wine and wig-powder don’t mix, do they, Georgie? But you’re a big boy (six-footer in an age of short guys); you’ll get over the rejection.

Now we know why he kept his mouth shut . . . termites . . ☻

wrong, the last president was a turkey!

Hmmmm… making fun of a president…. hmmm… RACIST!!

I like his grin in the 3rd panel.

Ben Franklin was quite a ladies man in his youth, and also when he was living in Paris as an elderly widower. George should have gotten some pointers.

nice try, George.

Least he wasn’t giving them any quarter.

One more time Georgie, try again. Maybe you should go to the library huh??!

Based on his recent track record, George should cut to the chase and say, ‘The drinks are on me!’.

He actually didn’t want his face on money, as he thought it would make him look like a king.

At least she wasted $3 on him.
