Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 01, 2015

I thought, Cleveland was a synonym for obscurity.

MY father hasn’t died yet.

They should be wearing bowlers, like Stan and Ollie.

Pig seems to be pro-Cleveland. And the city is (allegedly) on the rebound.Pig is so avant-garde!

“In every country, they make fun of city. In U.S. you make fun of Cleveland. In Russia, we make fun of Cleveland.” — Yakov Smirnoff

I Googled it and there is no Obscurity in the US of A.

there is a good chance they may both die in a packing plant…

Pig really made me laugh today. “Deep Conversations” indeed, as he is totally oblivious to the meaning of obscurity.

I heard that Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio was like being nowhere at all.

I challenge anyone kvetching about Cleveland to live for a year in Arco, Idaho.

No. Obscurity is Akron. Cleveland still have the Cavaliers, Browns, and the Indians. Oh. Yeah. OK. Cleveland.

My father used to say that Cleveland was the only redeeming virtue in Ohio. But then, he lived in Columbus at the time.

Could be worse, per Mike Tyson; you could die in Bolivion.

Same thing, isn’t it?

First prize - A week in Cleveland. Second prize-Two weeks in Cleveland. Third prize —Two weeks in Cleveland in the winter.

Nothing wrong with Cleveland but I’m thankful to live near Columbus, Ohio.

Maybe he lived in Hope.Hope NJ.

My worst fear is to wake up and find another wasp hovering over me.

I’ve never been the same since. I didn’t like wasps before but I positively hate them now.

@SisyphosI thought it was Detroit that was on the rebound. Several New York developers and artists have set up shop in Detroit recently, lured by the cheap real estate. The joke in New York is, the last stop on the L train — a subway line that goes from Manhattan into hipster and gentrified parts of Brooklyn — is Detroit.I guess that’s what happens when you elect a white mayor.

someone’s got to climb that hill and blow them to hell with a hand grenade,the man who climbs that hill,will live in history,i’d rather live in hackensacksomebody else, not me

Just remember: Abraham Lincoln didn’t die in vain, he died in Washington D.C.

Being from Pittsburgh I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Cleveland. It would be great if they could get pro football and baseball teams there. (Gotta give them the Cavs though)

This sounds like “My grandfather died in his sleep, not awake and screaming like the passengers in his jeep.”

Meh. I spent a whole year in Cleveland one night. But these days, if you really want to waste away in Nowhereville, go a couple of hundred miles northeast on sick Lake Erie to Buffalo. That’s the place to (NOT) do it!
