Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 05, 2016

My sister-in-law has a pilot’s license.

Mrs. Agedengineer is gonna like this one!

Helicopter parents tend to drone on a lot.

That explains a lot.

The rat family sounds more interesting.

I’m wondering if my sister is going to end up a helicopter parent. Her BF already sounds like it (well, sounds like 1984, which is a bit worse).

Forget drones. The FAA should restrict helicopter parents.

In order to learn some must burn…………………..sad but true.

Autogyro — like helicopter, but without power

There’s a lot going on in these panels!

One might feel sorry for Rat’s family situation, if he weren’t Rat….

Isn’t there always an helicopter hovering over a train wreak?

I was a helicopter parent from time to time…. it was cyclic.

A buddy of mine’s Dad set a land speed record in a 1940 Army tank. It would have been even faster but that Bank building at the bottom of the hill in Louisville, KY prevented that!

My ex was the titanic

Yep. That’s a very good way of describing Rat’s family.

Mine were submarine parents. If we got out of line, we werequickly torpedoed.

I guess you could say that my mother was a helicopter parent. Especially whenever she got mad at me. Like the blades of a helicopter she would have taken my head off if I didn’t duck.

Back in the old days, we had zeppelin parents.
