Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 06, 2020

Adrain monk’s perfect dream scenario

Can the bubble be made in my eyeglasses prescription?

Does anyone remember Rat’s girlfriend Farina?

Is that built on top of a skateboard?

… and for the outside society, a fortunate feature (installed by Crocs).

A lock and air shut off valve.

Rat’s wearing a tie and holding a microphone, so he must be holding a conference. But for who?

There actually are a few kids who are born without adequate immune systems who then manage to get something resembling outside time by going about in a bubble suit.

Now how is the Bubble 2000 going to help me gather carts at the grocery store at which I’m employed?

Reminds me of the bubble boy from Seinfeld.

Do you smell a rat?

What does “mobile as all get-out” mean? That sentence makes no sense.

I can just see some “snowflakes” wearing this suit to avoid being “triggered” by “bad ideas”.;D

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Yes, this is the way to establish widespread immunity. It’s working, isn’t it?

Those germ carriers could also be sledgehammer carriers!

Now find a long hill with a rushing river at the bottom and push him down it!

Shouldn’t it be the Bubble 2020????

I thought Rat was holding a syringe full of disinfectant. Just being sarcastic.

Shut up and take my money!

Rat your bubble needs bars ! … Croc Power !

The air supply is extra.

Perfect. A rolling gravestone.

You need to buy the round CO2 scrubbers, not the square ones.

Rat’s wildly successful Sphere O’ Splendid Isolation gets an upgrade.

Rat, thank God it is not the Bubonic Plague, or you would be running right now!

Ummm RAT! How much is it?

They’re already a thing.

Are those Canadians?

Soon enough, everyone will become a bubble boy.

Is Rat becoming Danny Donkey?

Man, I’m old enough to remember when adding “2000” to a product name made it sound futuristic.

Can we just replace Trump with Rat? (coming from a Trump supporter)

The cone of silence… and darkness. (well, okay, dome, actually, but CONTROL didn’t get it right either)

Dang, so where is the website so I am get this. It is awesome! The first billion dollar idea Pastis has ever had.

We use the ‘Cloak of Darkness’ on the dog’s cage sometimes…

Terrance and Phillip!

Kissing Fear.. coming or going is bound to give you cooties.

Noice

2K would work better marketingwise.

Rat will always be in Night Mode

I keep throwing money at the screen but I still can’t get one.

It’s The Bubble Boy, that pri*k. And it is Moops.

Everyone should have their own personal Pope-mobile.

Can we order one for the Dumpster?

Not bad; not bad at all. But i’m still gonna wait for the Bubble 3000! I mean, “Bubble 2000” just sounds so retro….

Why does that make me think of the old ‘Pop-A-Matic’ for rolling dice?

People have been living in their own bubble for quite a while now, Rat.

I would seriously buy that.
