Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 03, 2012

Nice try, Pig. Nice try. The ol’ apron strings are longer than you think.

She forgot to tell him to wear a scarf. Son of a muffler!

Give Pig a break, guys. He didn’t get outside to make his Declaration of Independence yet!

. . . baby steps, Pig, baby steps . . .she said, put on a jacket, so you put on a sweater . . .

Rat is speechless? LOL

Rat’s total lack of respect for Pig has just fallen to about eight new lows. Now that’s bad when you don’t respect someone and your disrespect just goes down below the basement.

When mom wants you to think for yourself, she will tell you to.

……and don’t for get your hat!!!

and a scarf

Mittens; protect the Pig’s feet.

Always listen to your Mum….

Cute strip!

xxx

And slather on the sunblock.

“Well. okay dear. Make sure you put on a jacket. And call me when you get back so I know you’re safe.”

If you wanna cut the strings, don’t bother telling her. And don’t talk to her at all, either. Put her on ignore. It’s the only way it’ll work. And even then, she’ll continue trying. Mom’s are crafty little critters. You’ll know if it’s working by how pissed off she gets when she finally gets through to you.

Mom, the ultimate home authority unto father gets home. Hoowee.

I meant “until” father gets home.

And close the door so you’re not heating the whole outside.

Momma told me there’d be ♫ “Days Like This” ♫

Mama told me not to come…

Is that Pig’s spine over there on the floor?

Pig is easily led. That won’t change. He probably is better of listening to his mommy than listening to Rat.

Mittens-and don’t you lose one?

and a sock in it.

Definition of “sweater”: something you wear when your mother is cold.

++++

Funny. Rat would have no problem with a controlling mom.

Also: Who thinks that Pig’s mom has big hair?

LAWL that happens to me AAAAAAAll the time.
