Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 14, 2021

I hope he gave the kids a taste of pig knuckles.

That sign should have a more accurate image.

It should say “Beware of children.”

It should have read, “Caution: Products of Bad Parenting Ahead.”

now you know, Pig, how a piñata feels

There’s SO much ambiguity out there. “Would you like to come over for dinner?” “The koala eats shoots and leaves.” …

I prefer the “Slow Children” signs.

I still think that “Blind Driveways” should get seeing eye sidewalks.

Seems Baseball is no game for me – too much violence.

That’s me on the left.

I have yet to see a “Pig Crossing” sign.

“Watch Children” sign, if you sit and watch the children they might think you are weird!

Bad neighborhood, Pig!

There should be another sign as you get closer:

It should go from “Children Watch” to “Children Warning”

Maybe also use flashing lights: from Yellow to Red.

Pig be glad you were not the main star of a Bar – B – Q !

Rough neighborhood. One of them has rats bat.

Especially in corn fields – https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087050/

Technically it did.

Future rioters in the making?

Pig should have been suspicious that the sign was apparently posted in the middle of a field rather than next to a roadway.

we see 飛び出し注意 (watch out for kids rushing out) signs all the time…

…and i just think, are they telling us to slow down and aim carefully…?

Poor PIG! Whodathunk ?

They may have bacon in mind.

Now Pig has no watch and lots of bruises.

“Speed controlled by radar”.

“Father Christmas, give us the money…”

He’s lucky he’s not crucified in a corn field.

Think “Children of the Corn” or “Village of the Damned.”

Children can be so cruel.

THE CHILDREN ARE UPRISING! THE ONLY WAY WE CAN STOP THE REBELLION IS FREE COOKIES FOR ALL!

or “Survey Party Ahead”…..I’m always up for a good party

Should read “watch for humans”. What has happened to us?

It’s time for the bears mentioned in 2 Kings 2:24 to make a return appearance!

I always follow the directions on the pain medication bottle. “Take 2 tablets” “Keep away from children”.

Looks like it should be a scene out of “A Clockwork Orange”.

“A sign of the times.”

It took me a few minutes to get the joke; when they have a sign that says “Caution Watch for Children”, it means to watch out for children if they’re crossing the street, but here, it means to watch out for children because they might show up and beat you up when you least expect it.

Are those the kids from, “Logan’s Run”?

Still nasty as when I was a kid?

Most carjackers in Chicago are of that tender age.

There was one on the way to my elementary school that said SLOW – Children – Walking (in a diamond). I always wanted to add one that said FAST – Children – Ride.

This seems like something out of a demented Oliver Twist …

Watch for children. Sounds like a fair trade.

Hey! Pig’s lost a lot of weight! Did he cut down on the donuts, cheese, or both?

Monsters!

The other sign said the children were ‘slow’, but they seemed pretty fast to me!

R those children ok on the head?

Must be some of those peaceful protestors in Minneapolis…

Children are best seen and not heard. —Seen on the platter, well roasted and with an apple in the mouth, attended by a generous spouted bowl of gravy….

Dangerous kid-gangs like this roam the streets of almost any large town or city….
