Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 26, 2021

I would hate to have owned Gillette stocks this past year.

Today’s background music: “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins.

Wise Ass gets right to the heart of it. Also, though he is bearded, others don’t have to shave for 5 days or so.

Pig defies gravity in the first couple frames.

Go for seven, amateur!

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind / The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Cough, cough, ew

One good thing about not taking showers, is it is easy to establish social distancing.

Is that why he’s outdoors?

Amateur. I haven’t used soap in months…

When did he shower before the pandemic? That hill doesn’t look like it has proper facilities.

What a good climber!

The shame will be if we gain no valuable lesson after 14+ months of isolation

I hope the esteemed Wise Ass is not sitting on a pointy top of the hill!

Dang. I gots to remembers cleaning the pigs more thoroughly before roasting them.

It hasn’t done that much for personal hygiene, though, Pig.

Every 2 or 3 days works fine …. Thank – You ;-)

I read that showering every day was pushed by the plumbing industry as one of the first attempt to use ads to modify behavior. Sadly, it worked.

Wow that ass can go five days without showering I cant go to bed if I don’t go everyday.

I haven’t missed a day in the office yet.

Make that 7 with handy wipes and beer.

…and a little disgusting.

I found that out when I had no water for a week because some pipes burst because of snow. I hated the greeezy hair, though.

Right up PIGS ally…a roll in the cold mud should do it! Back to reality.

Someone needs a new theme. See that outdoors in the panel backgrounds? That’s available to people.

Done that

Well he is a donkey.

A smelly ass? Oh my!

I’m not sure about the hygiene of hermits. Just because you “can” doesn’t necessarily mean you “should.”

Apparently Pig has learned to defy gravity. Very cool !

Does anyone know why Steph draws the Wise Ass so he looks like Horace Greeley?!?

Little wonder he sits alone on top of a hill.

Who showers when you can take a bath.

I’ve met people. I’ll take loneliness, thank you.

Three things I’ve learned:

1. I am very lazy about shaving when I’m not going to be out in public

2. I cannot grow a beard as I have several bald spots on my face

3. My wife doesn’t like facial hair anyway

Only 5?

Hold my beer…

Adding to the pollution of our upper atmosphere.

5? I can’t even stand myself after 2!

one CAN go longer than that.

Only 5? Amateur.

‘Showering’?

In the Army we were in the field about 3 weeks out of the month. They don’t call it “Field Artillery” for nothing. After the first 2-3 days you get used to feeling grungy & you don’t even notice BO.

When I got home I would take off my uniform, drop it on the floor & it crawled to the clothes hamper by itself.

Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

That vodka is more precious for a hoarding commodity than TP.

We boomers (and pre-war) remember the essential “Saturday Night Bath.”

Am I the only one who thinks that “hill” is a just a pile of dung from the one sitting in one place for months? Just from the color of it, it looks like that to me.

Only five days?! What a piker this ass on the peak is….

He still looks like Cedric the Entertainer to me.

Same here.
