Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 01, 2014

So should they use a Swiffer or a loofah?

What’s the other 10% of dust in the house?

That’s not a turkey. It’s just dead skin cells that decided to get together for the party.

The other 10% are parts of dead insects (and this looks quite impressive when magnified).

Oh, thanks. There goes my appetite!

Oh no! That’s not LGD sitting on the table, is it? Stewed in his own juices?

Wow! Tuned in to read a comic and learned something!

lets hope the crocs get em!

every time I empty my wirlwind vacuum, I always say goodbye to part of me, and it’s beginning to look a lot like me?

Dead skin cells? It’s that the stuff so many people like on their chicken, turkey and chicken nuggets?

I knew that!

according to statistics87% of all facts are made up on the spur of the moment to keep political arguments going57% of all facts are made up the next day to keep all marital arguments going42% of all facts are made up on the spot to keep a persons job AND100% of all facts are known by anyone you are having a disagreement with.

@pearlsarefuzzy—You could be onto something, LGD hasn’t been seen lately…BTW, neither has Mr. Snuffles!

Dust mites need humidity in the air as they have no ability to consume liquid, and draw liquid from the air. The do exist below 50% humidity, but their numbers are drop dramatically below that level. The dust mites themselves cause no trouble (they don’t bite or anything), but many/most people are allergic to their feces, which they make a lot of. Dust mites are fairly large, but the feces break up into very tiny dust, and a HEPA rated vacuum is necessary to extract it from the air – with other vacuums you are just picking it up and blowing it into the room, making things worse, not better.

I was going to snark, “Who invited Rat?” But then I recalled that this is the house shared by Rat and Pig. He’s at home—in every sense….

Yep… Rat has to spread his poison everywhere.

And virtually all serial killers started out on mother’s milk — an example of yet another gateway drug.

Why so prissy? After all, they ARE having dinner with a PIG!

Actually, he’s screaming at Rat for his comment about what dust is composed of.

“It is a well known fact that over half of all statistics on the internet are fabrications.” Benjamin Franklin

“…95% of people blindly accept statistics like that, even though even a cursory examination of the claim would reveal it to be utter bulls**t?”-——————————————————————-But BOY does it sell mattresses!

The food’ll still be on the table. That won’t solve anything, Pig.

It’s even worse. Dead skin cells are just the food source the dust mites are attracted to. Dust is actually the dead skin, plus the living and dead dust mites, and their waste. So that table is covered in dead skin, tiny bugs, and their sh*t.
