Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 29, 2016

Don’t worry, he’ll land on the lemmings.

Today we see Pig spring forward and fall on his behind.

Is that a cannonball Pig is doing?

Never mind that – is that a coyote below Pig?

“This has been a tough year so far”….Complain to Pastis, he’s the one in control.

Pig remember what the “Rolling Stones” said “Time is on my side” :-)

Puts a whole new meaning to……“When Pigs fly !!”

Pig’s right it is a stupid year, because it’s election year

“The Time Has Come Today”, by The Chamber Bros.

Was expecting it to be another of Rat’s BS explanations making Pig jump.

As usual, the Spanish version is pretty much word for word. Except that leap year is “ano bisiesto” which doesn’t carry any connotation of “leaping.” I guess the insertion of an extra day in leap year makes the time travel joke workable. Come on, now. There have to be readers more fluent in Spanish than I am.

Lemme see, two months in: a nasty new virus to worry about (Zika), a Mad Max movie considered to be cinematic brilliance, a scary American election (what happens if you don’t want any of ‘em to win) an economy that just keeps sputtering, European Union still can’t figure out what to do with migrants, news that last yr was warmest ever…shall I go on? Yet Pig, ever the optimist, thinks that if he fast forwards the future, things will be better, Poor Pig, that hasn’t happened since 1970. Cheers!

I think Pig is mistaking this for a “Quantum Leap” year.

Anyone for a shredded pork sandwich? Get ‘em while they’re still warm.

2016 has been full of cancer. David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Celine Dion’s husband and brother.Need I go on?xxx

So long, stupid Pig.

if pigs had wings away they’d fly up into heaven oh so high,if pigs had wings away they’d soar, up in through heaven’s golden door

Happy leap of faith who sucks least year.

One small step for pig……………………

What if Pig really can leap into 2017?Cartoon physics, you know….

Or as Bugs Bunny often says …

“So long, Sammy! See you in Miami!”

and …

“So long, screwy! See you in St. Louie!”

… yes, but did he look first? #LookB4ULeap

The Lemmings, "Yes! We’re all gonna diiiiiiieeee!

Oh yes, but no guarantee that 2017 will be any better.

RIP Pig, born on January 2nd, 2002, died on February 29th, 2016.

At least he wore a helmet.

Pig, if you think this is bad, just wait until the next leap year.

And you thought 2016 was a bad year…wait until 2020
