Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 19, 2021

To make the guy walking by your car jump out of his pants.

Pig, you should buy yourself several rolls of duct tape.

You can use it if you can’t find your car in the parking lot. If I flash my lights, I can usually find it. I try that first because I don’t want everyone to know how stupid I am.

“When you’re down and out, lift up your head and shout, HELP!” —Henny Youngman

My across the street neighbor had a touchy alarm on his Cadillac. It would go off in the middle of the night if a truck rolled by. Only he was nearly deaf and never heard it and couldn’t hear us when we called him or knocked on his door. I’m not sure what the point was in his case. He was a good guy. RIP, Gene.

I had to take apart and modify the alarm button on my Nissan fobs- if you leaned against anything or sat on the keys, the car went off. Too touchy.

I don’t know…making your problem other people’s problem seems a valid strategy.

A while back we had neighbors with lots of cars in their driveway. A multi family home. If one alarm went off it would trigger others. Pretty funny some times.

A pig’s life is full of panic. He never know when he become bacon.

On some cars if you have the key fob in your pocket and move a certain way you can set the car alarm off!

Pig’s feeling horn-y too?

Didn’t know Pig was a honkey.

It’s so you can play Marco Polo with your car.

RAT IS BLOWN AWAY BY PIGS IGNORANCE! LOL

When will Larry the croc catch Zebra? When pigs drive!

I love Rat’s expression in panel 3.

Panic Button = Rat Protection Button

My car is so old it has a real key. A copy now costs $8 because the hardware store doesn’t do it anymore, I have to go to the locksmith. Still better than the $150 they charge for a copy of a computer key. Although that’s a ridiculous price for what’s basically a very small flash drive.

Well, a pig only has like 15 years or so.

It’s the Lost Car button. :-)

Car – can Pastis draw one of them driving a car?

Is it me, or are those comics getting somewhat repetitive in their nature?

I think they’re mostly for annoying the neighbors in the middle of the night.

Nobody mentioned having to use the button to call for help…

Those are great when you have lost your car in the parking lot.

Ah, an actual use for it now…..

Mine wore out months ago.

It’s for goose hunters.

Don’t worry about the rest of life, just grab pizza time

That’s a panic button? I always thought that was there to cause you trouble when you go to unlock the door or open the tailgate/trunk so that you then have to race to open the door and shut off the alarm before someone calls the cops on you.

Pig’s purpose: proper. Rat’s reaction: radical!
