Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 14, 2019

Don’t worry, nobody will remember it after 5 minutes; unless you run for public office.

Pig kinda has a good point in the last panel there.

Then should have written “A pointed tweet.”

Rockin Robin Tweet,tweedledididi tweet!

I learned in kindergarten than pigs don’t tweet.

That is one of the most decent things that have been said on Twitter.

It doesn’t matter if it’s pointless, society dictates that you should tweet everything you do and post pictures of everything you eat.

In Pig’s case, shouldn’t it be an “oink”?

Twitter is wonderful! It used to be the case that, if you weren’t a politician or a celebrity, only your family and friends knew you were an idiot. Now, with Twitter, you can reveal it to the whole world.

Oh, it IS pointless.

Apparently, not all pigs are made equal!

Well, Pig, these days only twits seem to tweet. You’re better off without it!

and far more civil than what the orange blimp does without end.

I’m with Pig — it IS pretty pointless!

Twitter has always seemed pretty pointless to me. Though of course, here I am doing a (semi)social media thing by saying so.

It is, Pig. it is.

But how many of us just went to go look to see if he is on Twitter?

Still more substantial than other tweets I am aware of.

Tell that to the chief dummy!

Leave Twitter.

The purpose of Twitter seems to be to show the public just how moronic most journalists are.

A fair point, but it’s pretty amazing how many people, including politicians (no, not just Trump) think tweeting is their life’s blood.

I think that I just saw 35 comments that said almost the same thing.

That’s why I don’t have an account n

What a twit.

Social media is the downfall of our civilization. Show how dumbed down it has become.

Somehow I’m reminded of David Letterman’s first efforts with the Twitter account for his show. He kept adding #hashtag at the end of every tweet.

Tweets can destroy a person or lift them up….

You have no idea.

" We don’t tweet/and we don’t chew/ And we won’t go/ with the twits who do! "

Tweeting is almost as pointless as commenting on comic strips…no wait, um..

And there’s a very good reason for that.

So far, Pig is ahead of the intelligence curve on Twitter.

That’s actually one of the more intelligent Tweets out there.

I must admit that I personally think that the last panel applies to most social media platforms in general. Facebook can be sort of helpful sometimes.

If it wasn’t for geometry, life would be pointless.

He’s right, Twitter is completely pointless; it only serves to display the (lack of) intelligence of, ahem…. “certain” people. Oh, and start arguments.

I’d follow him. Much more cogent than most tweets I have seen.

As pointless as all the comments here. What have any of these accomplished more than if they had been on Twitter?

Nailed it!

He doesn’t follow.

It is.

Yes Pig, it is pointless.

He might be better off on Oinker.

I guess Pastis is on Twitter to personally pontificate this pointlessness.

Twitter is as pointless as FarceBook. Unsocial media can be a deadly distraction from reality!

I’ve never really understood Twitter, texts, and places like Facebook. I’ve happily spent my life avoiding idiots and jerks, and you want them to have access to you 24/7? Weird.

Well stated, Pig!

Nailed it.

Trump needs to take a page from Pig.

Agreed Pig.

Pig’s tweet was more cogent than 99.9% of everything else on Twitter

Oink!

It is.

It is.

It surprises me that Pig knows how to spell “Tweet.”

Most of them are. IMO

It is pretty pointless, Pig. It is.

A sent Tweet doesn’t go out very far. The Veger’s have left the solar system. America’s first radio transmissions have reached Andromeda (the galaxy, not the babe).

Yep. Pig figured it out in record time. Good work.

It is pointless; so do not bother to join.

If only Trump would do what Pig does…

Pig gets it even when he doesn’t get it!

I just tweeted this
