Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 24, 2016

Bob is using Rat and Pig to get rid of his garbage.

Many years ago in a “Flintstones” comic book, Barney “invented” a stringless guitar; you could turn it over and play it like bongos, or put rocks in it and play it like a maraca.

You can use it for swatting flies, Pig.

A stingless guitar. You sure it’s not for Guitar Hero?

Air guitar.

You don’t have to play it. You would be surprised what a good hammer substitute a guitar makes.

I don’t trust Neighbor Bob either. Every time he shows up, he’s a completely different person.

Is Neighbor Bob also Guitar Bob from Andy Capp?

Come on Rat you could be a “Juke Box Hero” !……….You already have stars in your eyes !

Nice delivery, Pastis

Might be hard to play…….. but easy to tune it?

Some major assembly required.

Rat, you’ll go blind sitting that close

Stretching it, Stephen. Either that or limp: no snap.

Of course it’s hard to play. There are no strings attached. Take it to a tennis racket shop, I live just a few miles from where Les Paul invented his racket maker.

Air comic day

I mean that usual ba da boomp is air today

Loved THEBIRD55’s photo comment! I laughed my ass off! See,,,it’s easy to spell words instead of talking in initials!!!

No, Guitar Bob is a whole different character. Surprised Bob hasn’t been evicted from that pub by now, or at least thrown out by Chalkie and Andy.

Au contraire, Pig. It should be very easy to play a stringless guitar; it’s much more difficult with strings.Never trust a Neighbor Bob. Neighbor Bobs are born to die….
