Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 08, 2016

Look at positive side: there 3 possible ways he can injure himself.

Jeff the Cyclist (up your’s Jeff the cyclist, I’m putting the second F back in your name to “slow” you down moron) has hypnotized neighbor Bob. Course given the look of Neighbor Bob and the fact that bad things tend to happen to folks named Bob in the strip (and if their a croc then death tends to happen to a Bob), the triathlon will probably kill him.

Bob sure has a one-track mind. (Even my own brother’s about to do a triathlon soon.)

Bob to much “FOCUS”………….sort of like “To Much Cow Bell”

With neighbor Bob these past few days and the crocodile Bob on Tuesday, they’ll rename the strip “Pearls Before Bob.”

I am acquainted with some triathletes. I would not get in their way once they are Focused!Hey, Neighbor Bob! All the usual Bob-luck!

Neighbor Bob’s not trying to brag, is he?? Perhaps he should finish before bragging.

Neighbor Bob acts more like Cyclist Jef than Bob. Maybe he really does need a punch in the head.

Soooooo…..why is that guy dressed like that? Is he training for a triathlon or something?

I think this another jab at Mallett.

Does Bob have a 26.2 and a 13.1 sticker on his car?

Bob is the fattest triathlete I have ever seen. I predict he drowns in the swimming leg.

Sorry to break it to you, Rat, but I thinkng Neighbor Bob’s already been hit in the head.

Did neighbor Bob loose weight between the first and third panel, or Stephan’s drawing that erratic?

he’s like a broken record

Some oversensitive ninny deleted my earlier post, so here it is again::Are the three events being a douche, being a d`ck, and being a waste of space?

Why are so many people down on biathletes, triathletes, etc., etc. They’re pursuing their own dreams, not hurting anyone, and end up looking a heck of a lot better than most of us!

Assuming they haven’t already.

Anyone else think neighbor Bob’s tank top looks disturbingly like a spaghetti strap top?

Just be thankful he’s not also a vegetarian. You’d never hear the end of it

stuck in neutral or maybe in refresh mode. Circular reasoning or pretzel logic, a 3 legged marathon.

Congratulations, Stephan, on your NCS division nominations!

How do you know if your friend is: a)vegan; b)running a marathon; c)running a triathlon, etc?

Ans: Don’t worry. They’ll tell you.

So, first the Cyclist are one minded and self centered and now the triathletes are of the same mindset! Are you going to pick on ballerinas next?

Hmmm, another poke at a certain athletic cartoonist?

Lobotomy patient

I never knew triathlons involved standing still and saying arrogant things about yourself.

I’m training for a try-athlon. I’m going to try finishing a project I started.
