Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 10, 2013

I get the car!Sorry, Pig, but Iron is gone.(even though it’s a strip before the removal of Iron) Make way for the Cat)

It’s all I know, too.

Because people just love to put everyone in a box.

You’re rich when you’re happy with what you have.

If you can monopolize the properties on the Free Parking corner . . . the ‘oranges’ (St James, Tennessee; New York) and the ‘reds’ (Kentucky, Indiana; Illinois) . . . and get at least three houses on each as quickly as possible . . . you’ll win the game. And then – at least in the eyes of Rat and Pig – you’ll be a millionaire.

I thought the measure of wealth was not how much you love, but how much you are loved. My cat REALLY loves me a lot, when I feed her.

“Important stuff” sounds like an oxymoron. But I do like Pig’s honesty as to his understanding of wealth and rich people.

You’re rich when you don’t worry about how other people live, no matter what they have and you don’t.

From my point of view(I work in health care) you are “RICH” when you have few health issues for this enables you to do many things that others can not do.

The best things in life are indeed free – however, you need to possess wealth to enjoy them.

you are in fact ‘Rich’ if your name is Richard and you are ten years old or less.

the rich don’t feel rich. they always want more. envious of other people’s stuff, and many of them covets their neighbor’s wife.

@vwdualnomand

The most envious and covetous people don’t seem to be the rich. The anti-austerity riots in Europe are just one example.

F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway were having a drink, that should be more than one drink, when Scotty said to Papa, “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.” “Yeah, they have more money!”

I felt SORRY about the big RISK that I took the last time I played MONOPOLY!

Rich is enjoying life, liking what you do every day, and greeting every new day with a smile.

Hi I’m here because I am ready to be convinced of your political views./not

I think it’s odd for Rat to be asking such an existential question.

Apparently, we are rich whenever the government SAYS we are rich – so they can take more of said riches.

Pig forgot the cat – Parker Brothers is/has replaced the iron with a cat.

Rich when you run for president like Marie Antoinette. Let them eat cake

Pig, rich folks in Monopoly own Boardwalk and Park Place with at least one hotel on both.

Now we know that Stephan Pastis was listening to “Marketplace” on npr.

You know you’re rich when you don’t know what instant coffee is.

I always loved the top hat.

Pig doesn’t seem to understand the game of Monopoly either. The object of the game is to own property, not tokens.

The deluxe verison has the iron, as well as all the old tokens and new ones.

Pig, you are wrong. It’s when you have hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place.

I think you are reversing Bruno’s comment. I read it as, “the less you owe, the richer you are.” You seem to be reading it as the opposite.

Have another glass of Kool Aid.

Haha… Cute!

“A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.” (W.C. Fields)

pig for president

are the crocs ever coming back? sorry, stupid pig and rude rat do not make me laugh like the crocs.

or merchandise a syndicated cartoon strip and make appearances at book stores and speaking engagements hawking insane characters to the masses. Yeah, rich. Not Jim Davis rich but lazy ex-laywer rich ain’t bad.

Boardwalk and Park Place don’t usually help me a lot. They’re too expensive to develop, and people don’t land there a lot. If I can get the light blue set fairly quick, I can build them up and keep other people poor. The oranges would be my next target. Pretty good chance someone coming out of jail will land on one.

The iron is gone now, Pig.

You can’t have all the tokens unless you’re playing Monopoly Solitaire. It’s the properties you want, not the tokens.

More than I knew!

If everyone is done with their political debates (when did GoComics become a site for politcal debates, anyway?), I would like to point out that Pig did forget one other token—the horse and rider token.

Clever.
