Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 24, 2020

It’s nice in New Zealand but they won’t let you in.

Failed social distancing

The world isn’t really falling apart. All of us who still love, and respect, and dignify each other: we’re still here, and we are this world. Some fringe voices may have been amplified lately, and threatened to drown us out…but together, we can speak as one voice and send them back to the baseboards rocks they crawled out of.

whoopsy

Rat is on Cloud Nine . . . Eight . . . Seven . . .

You can live on the cloud, but don’t release the balloons!

Yet the average cumulus cloud weighs more than most freight trains.

Did Rat steal the balloons from Pig?

It looks that way sometimes.

What goes up ……… Must come down ;-) … Croc Power !

Remember, your data is in a cloud too.

I’m sure the ground caught him.

“Roes and floes of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air, and feather canyons everywhere, I looked at clouds that way, now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone” (Judy Collins) so it depends on your perspective!

Pretty much, yeah, Rat.

Remember: It’s NOT the fall that kills you…but the SUDDEN stop!!

;-)

One of the funnier comics.

What a killer

Boy, Rat’s mind has really been softened by quarantine! He’s so dumb today! Everyone knows that you wrap yourself in a cloud, not try to “land” on it!

Quite a few people live with their head in a cloud.

Done with your cloud 9 delusion, Rat?

That’ll teach him not to study science.

There’s no cushy place to go anymore. So shelter in place at your own house and be done already!

Hey, you, get off of my cloud!

I always thought the most remarkable thing about Mary Poppins was her ability to sit on a cloud with sinking through it.

Old news since 1962 Broadway: “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off”.

Hey you! Get off my mountain,

Hey you! Get off my cloud!

Pretty much….

Always have a backup plan….or in this case a parachute.

Cartoon physics 101. Had Goat not said anything, Rat would’ve been fine.

Yes!

I once got a mouthful of ballooning spiders while biking, then I put on my face screen.

Just don’t try Mick Jagger’s cloud

Everyone knows that you have to be an Pegasus Pony to sit on Clouds. Everypony knows that

There is no such thing as gravity, the Earth just sucks…..

No such thing as gravity: the earth sucks.

I do not know how the tea bag magically appeared in the last panel despite being absent in the first and third panels.

Must be cartoon physics.
