Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 27, 2018

Pig, close the curtains in your house or build a higher fence if you don’t want people to see what’s going on in your house.

I could comment about my university days and the house on Wolfe Island ………….. but I don’t want to invite legal trouble.

oh, these figures of speech being used literally

Elder abuse.

Did she look through the window and see a pig with no clothes on?

Go ahead Pig kill then eat that nasty old nosey woman

Then Pig left sheets of aluminum all over her, and said, “Foiled again!”

..’ Oooh, they’re adorable…" – Gangster that Bugs Bunny said the same thing to…

Probably an old joke even then.

Don’t think she needs them now, Pig.

Excuse me, good folks… could somebody explain the joke for a non-native speaker of English…? Pu-leeze….

You have to wonder about Wanda the window watcher.

LOL – no one commented that her name is ‘Old Woman’. Not to mention, I believe he has done this joke before :)

Sounds like gardening while black in Detroit.

How did Rat know it was Wanda ? Was Rat looking back at her :-0

An old Warner Brothers riff – “it’s coitains for you, Rocky! Curtains!”

I can still see those boys from my attic window, if I use my binoculars.

Stephan, what’s happened to the gators? Have you stopped them drawing for fear of offending some group?

all the remarks are ageist, I like to think she’s using aYuneec H520

I’ve never understood people getting mad at things they weren’t forced to see, watch, hear or experience. You don’t like my music…then don’t listen. You don’t like my hair or clothes…stop looking at them. You don’t like that movie…then don’t watch it. Seriously. Its a free country (or used to be) so just freakin’ deal with it!

The comic censor says it is curtains for you, Stephan.

Nosy neighbor. I wonder if her last name is Kravitz.

Shades of Edgar G Robinson…"It’s coitains fer youse,,See! :o}

LMAO! Good one!

A few years ago in a town near me, neighbors called the cops on a woman who was mowing her lawn, IN A BIKINI! Evidently they thought that was disgusting. Anyway, the cops showed up and couldn’t find the woman. The complainer brought the cops upstairs in her house and had to lean way out a window and peer between some bushes and trees to see the perpetrator. Made the news for a solid week.

Hey, it is ELDERLY Woman Wanda, just like Elderly Man River…..Oh, and there is an Ikea Sale on curtains, now until November 18…Get yours now, and win a free trip to your next door neighbor’s house to see who has the best curtains.

Thank God, this strip did not do that old joke about the Porsche. Or, did Pig actually leave the curtains on the car in the driveway?

Wanda was clearly stunned by Pig’s generous offer!

This brings to mind a Mad Comics (25¢ cheap) “Movie Scenes We Would Like to See” entry that makes fun of how the trailers grossly mislead the viewers as to what actually happens in the movie.

Trailer: Sargeant: So, Captain it’s curtains for us. Captain: Yes, Sargeant, better tell the men.

Movie: Sargeant: So, Captain it’s curtains for us. Captain: Yes, Sargeant, better tell the men. Sargeant: Why should we tell the men? Captain: So they can put up the curtains, of course!

“I’ve got a rod, see, and it’s currents for you! Yeah, it’s a current rod.” Rich Little impersonating Jimmy Cagney.

Haha

Scene 2. Wanda at front door. Rat answers.

Wanda: “I’m returning these. It’s a better idea you put them up here so I don’t have to see inside your house.”

Rat: “Whadd’ya mean?”

Wanda: “It’s curtains for YOU, ya dirty rat!”

I’d say that’s an oopsie. It really was curtains for Old Woman Wanda.

Oh, Pig, please call the Coroner to have the body removed, or else the odor will become noticeable (and curtains can’t obscure that)….

Rat: “Hey Pig, what are you doing with that aquarium?”

Pig: “I figured Wanda must be lonely so I bought her some tropical fish as pets. I thought she could put the tank in her bedroom and then she’ll see her pets first thing each morning. I’m heading over to her house now – I can’t wait to see how she reacts to this surprise!”

… Later, at Wanda’s front door ….

Pig: “OK Wanda. You’re gonna be sleeping with da fishes!”

… Wanda faints.

I need to wash my curtains.

Get rid of the last two panels, and you get Pig murdering an old woman

Good fences make good neighbours… especially when they’re solid wood or bricks.
