Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 03, 2017

Pig, there is another kind of mace you can use on Rat.

I find life’s more like a dumb, spoiled dog with lazy owners: it doesn’t much care who it barks at or bites, just as long as things are kept “interesting”.

That’ll do, Pig.

That’ll do.

That’s a simile, not a metaphor.

Sing along with Sherlock: “Instant karma’s gonna get you…”

You never cease to amace, Pig…

I never metaphor I didn’t like.

Why do bad things happen to good people? It’s only fair. It’s to even out when good things happen to bad people.

Nice to see Rat on the receiving end of a surprise attack.

Very allegorical Cartoon Boy…

Awhile back a friend of mine went in a Redwing shoe store asked for a pair of Metaphors. They had no clue what he was talking about. Apparently they didn’t watch their own ads.

LMAO!

Thank you Pig.

What was that meta for ?

Pig is not going to let the macey’s parade pass him by!

Troubles come in cyclones…….

We don’t often see Pig one up rat, and in his usual innocent way.

If only it were that simple.

“Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then ….” Well,,,you know the rest. It’s a metaphor, you see….

How interesting. That’s two quotations from “the Scottish play” I’ve heard today (the other being, “When the hurly-burly’s done; when the battle’s lost and won”). Is the Bard of Avon calling?

Fool life, make plans for stuff you don’t want to do.

I think Pig will need the Big, Giant, Economy-sized Can-O’-Mace! Life’s tough, resistant, and full of metaphors….

Let me introduce you to my little friend.

I think pig is my spirit animal.

Now hit life with the weapon mace!!
