Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 03, 2021

But he can still see what’s going on.

He might just be pinned to the ground with those heavy headphones.

If you don’t watch the news, you won’t know why anybody is marching.

Pig bought the headphones from Dumbo Inc.

He has a hard time riding on the bus.

He needs a sensory deprivation tank. I’m told that it’s actually quite pleasant as long as you can leave when you want to.

Well done, Pig. Filter out all the bombastic nonsense bombarded by the mainstream media.

He needs the portable Cone of Silence.

He gonnna blind himself next?

“Micky Mouse” to the max!

A little more tension on the headband, and he might become pressed ham in a poke!

Pastis headphoning it in again…

Love my headphones but not that size !

I’ll have to ask Pig where I can get a pair.

I’m surprised he can stand up!!!

Helps with marriages, too.

Ho-hum, ‘til Goat’s comment about his toes made me smile! :)

Yum! Ham on Rye! LOL

100 days of depressing news coincides with something else.

Righttoe!

Are they pickled?

Best decision that I’ve ever made was to quit reading and watching the news. I do sports, comics and the weather. I have been amazed at how much more at peace I am.

You’ll need a blindfold too.

Where can I get one of those?

Can’t you hear me now?

How do those headphones stay on????

Fellow was tired of all the stress of living amid the hate and terrorism and realizing no place was completely free of it decided to end it all. Getting towels and tape he went to his garage and sealed all the windows and the doors. Then got into his car, started it and set the rpm at an appropriate level. Then leaned his seat back and waited for a peaceful end. After the neighbor lady had not seen him for two days she peeked in his garage windows and saw him and called emergency services. After a couple cups of water he was just fine.

But the battery in his Tesla was dead.

The crocs might mistake him for a ham burger now.

That’s what off switches are all about…….

Cancels hand shakes too.

Toes? I want to cut him to the quick.

move a little to your left, and you might be able to see his face

Pig could just lock himself in his basement, that’s what I do.

I can’t afford noise canceling headphones, so I had to turn off the television.

Yep

How? You all have the same feet.

You think the headphones are impressive, you should see his boom box!

Canned Ham..

Pastis; is this another attempt at an inside joke.I’m seeing what could be construed as what might be called “pressed ham” between noise cancelling headphones.

Thanks for nothing, Pastis! You could’ve at least included a part number and URL so we can all order one of those!

The giant earphones seem very reassuring.

But how on earth did Goat recognize Pig’s toes? I don’t even see them on those stick-figure legs and feet….

Great bass though!

May the 4th be with you.

All the characters have the same feet though
