Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 17, 2016

You want their attention?Cut off the wifi.

So why are they called “smart” phones?:BTW, I still feel smug about using a flip phone.

Another member of the “neighbor ______” group. Is there something about proximity to Pig and Rat’s house that causes men to go completely bald?

It’s like we, portable electronic device-using people, are all in a coma.

Zombie apocalypse.

Dam Pokeman……

We live in the age of face contact avoidance. We’ll get over it, just as other animals get bored with a plaything when it begins to annoy or bore them.

Don’t we all?

The more difficult part is trying to keep them from trying to communicate with me.

Yes kill the WiFi….also wonder what the long term effect is from having all those electronic signals going everywhere…..

Cellphones are great at keeping you connected to everyone … except the people you are actually with!

I get so tired of jokes about people being absorbed with their phones. Nearly every comic strip makes at least one joke each day about it. It’s not funny anymore; it’s tired, played and dull. Cell phones are here to stay, Cartoon Boy; get over yourself!

People have always ignored other people, it’s just more obvious when you’re looking at the device in your hand.

It’s called the Internet. We’ve known it for a while now.

And their all texting each other rather than talking to each other.

Way to get out of trillions in debt. Tax cell phones 10 cents per minute. Would be paid off in a year. If not then peace and quiet. Win win!

take your cellphone and walk off a cliff. Literally. It’s only a matter of time. Natural selection at its best.

Wonder why Nick was in a coma?I find it comforting to know that our loved ones who are in a coma can still hear us. Even though they can’t respond.xxx

I was in a 2 month coma a few years back, it was like one crazy dream that never ended and on the few occasions where I was actually aware of things around me I remember it as part of the dream and I don’t know if it really happened, or it was part of the dream.

A rare example of Understatement as a form of humor by Cartoon-Boy through his proxy, Pig.I shan’t add to the cell-phone/cell-phone user chatter….

Sad, but True !

#TotallyRelatable

I barely even notice any more! The only thing that threw me was seeing someone walking past carrying a cell phone and NOT using it!
