Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 07, 2016

Junior should know better than to ask Larry anything that requires knowledge of science.

Hot flushes is a winning poker hand, I think..

“And she have a cycle dat she ride once every four weeks.”

I had a feeling what Larry was talking about as soon as I read “mini paws” in the middle panel before reaching the final panel.

It’s always “What a Croc!”

Can Mom explain why she married Larry?

This reminds me of the Campbell’s K-cup cup of soup commercial. The chicken noodle soup comes out of the Keurig and the dad goes “And that’s where soup comes from.” Dad walks away and the son says “But I thought we were talking about where babies come from.” Then the boy hops off the counter and starts calling his mom for help. Love that commercial.

How can something called chili cause hot flushes?

Note that Larry had his BEER the whole time !

More Crocs!!

Glad to see crocs again

oh my goodness……

We have hot flushes every summer in the southwest US. The sun heats the ground so much that the water comes out of the pipes tap warm.

That is a disturbing image!

An ewok went to a bar and said, “I’d like a gin and ah… soda.”

The bartender said, “Okay, but why the tiny pause?”

“I don’t know, I’ve had them all my life.”

this actually worse misinformation than lucy teaching linus about the world. "snow comes up charlie brown. snow comes up!

I can hardly wait for tomorrow, so I’ll finally understand “Hot Flushes”. It’s amazing what you can learn on the internet.

Considering the confusion the other day about “warm beavers” vs. “te’ de calamares,” I checked today’s strip. The Spanish pun uses “panza,” “belly” but otherwise works well, since “menopase” is “menopausia.” Yesterday’s strip about helicopter parents translates pretty much exactly. I’m not surprised that humor doesn’t always translate well. What really surprises me is how often it does translate. I have some Andy Capp and Hagar books in German (Andy Capp is Willi Wacker) and many strips translate word for word.

Junior has a lot to learn, So does Larry!xxx

Patty had best keep Junior away from Larry until he’s old enough to know these things. Avoid the misinformation!Besides, wasn’t Junior away at school? Is he home on Christmas break still?We saw that Larry really missed the kid, but we shouldn’t want Larry to misinform his son. Don’t grow up like your father, Junior!

TO Phatts California: Love your shy, elusive profile pic !!! :)

When I first saw a clip of the Campbell’s K-cup, I thought it was an SNL commercial parody. Sadly, it is for real. It is bad enough that my coffee has to taste like the hazelnut abomination that was made before mine. Now my coffee may end up tasting like soup.

The crocs again! YAY!

Larry may be getting some cold flushes.

CROCS!

I…think I’m better off not knowing if my toilet gets hot.

….STOP REMINDING ME OF THE HORROR I SHALL FACE IN A YEAR OR SO!

My wife pointed out that most women’s problems start with men…

It boggles the mind how self-described “straight men” know NOTHING about female anatomy! Larry gets a pass because he juss dopey. [sic]
