PBS in our house means two things. It does mean Public Broadcasting Service to be sure but it also means "Pearls Before Swine" -- our favorite comic strip by Stephen Pastis. Have you read it? I know we've recommended it to a few of our friends and family members. It features a small cast of animals - the ever cynical Rat, the naive Pig, a cadre of crocodiles (Larry, JoJo, Frank) and a zebra (or Zeeba if you're a crockydile with a funny accent). Our favorite strips are the ones pitting the crocodiles against their neighbor zebra. The zebra is generally in a battle of wits with several unarmed crocs. Check it out for yourself. http://www.denverpost.com/comics
We also live without cable so the other PBS is also a lifeline - especially because we have access to two local stations (Colorado Public Broadcasting and Rocky Mountain PBS). Tonight we're tuning in to watch "The Pioneers of Television" and "The Jewish Americans."
