Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 07, 2015

weight

Truth. sigh

Oh, the prostate is way bigger than those little hairs. Don’t worry, Pig… there will be more…

Hammer toes and bifocals.

Aches and pains. Joints that may wish to creak when you get up in the morning. Grey hair and wrinkles (unless you try kidding yourself about aging and use things to remove these). Loss of height.

more things I would change if I only knew then what I know now..

in reading this strip for years we all have been hoping for more……

Recently, I have learned that the hair growing from one’s ears has an affect on one’s hearing. Is the fact that I pluck my ear hairs the reason I’m growing deaf?

More? Who could want more than little hairs growing in strange places? I recently developed a lame knee during a thunderstorm. That was fun. Fluid pressure.

A firm conviction that modern pop music sucks.

Expect the unexpected :-(

Misanthropy.

Applause!

When my hair started turning grey, I said I didn’t care if it turned grey as long as it doesn’t turn loose. sigh Then God’s sense of humor kicked in.And as I have oft repeated here:Grandma said “If you don’t want to get old, you have to die young.”

All the junk mail from AARP. That starts at about 45

DEBT! Primarily from student loans for my kids.

I hate those…

All those kids on my lawn. GET OFF MY LAWN!!

Ear hair — That is so true

Ah, the great southerly hair migration.

Nose hair is worse.

Bowels….voted # 1

Best investment of the last 2 decades for me: Ear/Nose hair trimmer. Had to do it since the line between moustache and nose was disappearing and the quick pass with a cigarette lighter wasn’t working real well anymore.

Getting older means we have more time for comics.Between all the hair trimmings and prostate exams.Then there is the enjoyment of the constant flurry of male enhancement ads.Stay thirsty my friends…….yea that’s another problem….constantly having to go……..

At least his are growing out of his ears.

My wife is always on me to shave my ears – “everyone else does it”. Won’t understand, not everyone else does.

Hey! Don’t forget the nose!

Sometimes that’’s all there is.

bette davis -getting old is not for sissies-words to live by

Old man look at my nose hairs, I’m alot like you were

Getting older isn’t bad when I consider the alternative!!

Biggest thing you gain? The knowledge that you are smarter and more talented than everyone on TV today.:Seriously, are they all recruited from mental hospitals?

To be fair, there are things we lose, too; head hair, memory, muscle tone, hearing, eyesight, mobility, patience, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…

Hopefully the one thing Stephan won’t lose as he gets older is his talent.

Cartoon-Boy has touched a nerve today. I make more use of tweezers now than I ever did when younger….Yeah, ear-hairs, nose-hairs, unruly eyebrows…. It’s all disgusting.

I don’t know who you are, but I’m standing and applauding. Brilliant!

Those little hairs are really brains starting to leak out.

Ah yes, the rewards of getting older, when everything gets bigger, hairier and closer to the ground.

When I was a lad of 23, I saw a combination ear and nose hair clipper and laughed and laughed. Now, at 53, I own one.

Goody!

I’m not very old, but I’m already getting knee problems. (Sigh)

okay, how about little grey hairs that grow out of your nose?

lol
