Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 03, 2018

I could use that app in the 8th frame.

“Only a couple, we’re going to make so many more memories together! Anyway, I backed up everything I’m deleting to this flash drive.”

Now THAT’S a smart phone

Just think of all the marriages that would be saved …

Nah, it would be a good thing if Pigita dumped him… she’s a jerk, and she doesn’t deserve pig, so if she dumped him they’d would be no longer together, and it would save pig all the trouble….

When technology gets that smart there’s a problem on the horizon.

Do they allow the word “hell” in family comic strips?

That app is called RU-Siri-ous

Are you sure you want to

read this comic strip?

[yes] . [NO WAY JOSE]

If my device tells me something like that, I will put it down on the floor and step on it! Bet it won’t tell me that again!

This file seems useless but it’s so crucial that deleting it would cause your phone to malfunction, are you sure you want to delete it?

[yes] [GAWD NO!! DON’T DO IT!!]]

Open up a Google+ account, Pig, and store all of your photos there

Are you sure you want to keep everything on the phone with no backup? Yes OMG! NO!

Casting doubt on every decision we make online, made us prime for Russia’s brainwashing.

The photos are stored on servers in Russia.

PLEASE add that App to The Dumpsterfire’s phone…

I saw you sitting at a table by the water

And you were going through the photos on your phone

You looked so happy and relieved to be there all alone

Getting rid of all of me is what I figured

Delete, deleting everything that had occurred

That’s when I backed away and headed out without a word

.

The Boat is in the Barn

If Pig is deleting old photos, does that mean he threw all of his old birthday cards away too?

Yes, technology has made great strides. But never fast enough to save us from ourselves.

Boy, could I ever use an STFU function on my phone. Or anywhere else, for that matter. I’d sure use it.

Who needs that app? My wife digs an elbow in my ribs at the right time. Much more effective than a little beep.

and sadly, some will still hit the yes button.

Or if pig was smart enough, he’d have moved the photos off his phone to the computer already

If only I knew how to get rid of unnecessary bundled Google boatware apps which I don’t need but won’t show an uninstall option. Sigh.

Or, Pig could just download some/all of his content to a computer or different device.

Ehh—way too logical!

Priceless!

The camera is just one more reason I don’t have a cell phone.

I wish poor Pig had an app for deleting Pigita!

“Oh, I love them too, that’s why I uploaded them to the cloud, so I don’t need them on the phone anymore! Now I have room to take more photos!”

I always thought Stephen missed an opportunity to name her Sue E. Pig—surprising considering his love of puns.

If Pigita can’t handle Pig deleting some pictures on his phone, then she can just go to hell..
