Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 15, 2019

Try being funny.

I find him delicious.

Or just share cat and dog video clips, Pig.

Just remember, without lots and lots of followers, you’re nobody, Pig.

You have a choice; using Facebook for External Validation or beer for Internal Gratification.

I tweet, therefore I am.

why use twitter when you have go comics…?

Twitter, Shimimitter! Rat Nation is the place you want for gratification!

Cutting to the chase, Stephan is on twitter: @stephanpastis

I see a lot of social media that basically says “click here to like me”. Pig’s just distilled that down a little further.

Let’s start with “find me in a vast universe of millions of irrelevant tweeters like me” :D

A concise summary of social media.

This series makes me sad about the world

Poor PIG! Trying to fit in and find a place in society…..

Imagine an end-of-school-year pool party for a bunch of 8 year olds. Noise, yelling, shouting, and every single kid screaming “MOM! Watch this! Look at me!!”. That’s Twitter.

Pig looks pretty juicy and tasty.

Pignificant

And talent! You’re also saving talent!

At it’s best Twitter shares real-time warnings: road closings+accidents to avoid; bad weather alerts; …and when not to turn on the news.

vs Tinder: Find me, significant other.

I find validation on GoComics.

I love you, Porker.

People don’t twit photos. That’s what instagram is for

I am never on Facebook and very rarely am on Twitter (only when reading a news story with a link), so I don’t have comprehensive knowledge but I don’t see much in common between those sites and GoComics comments.

Gotta admit I find it kind of cool when a comment here at GoComics gets a lot of likes or comments. Hmm. OK then. Let’s experiment:

         Would you please find me significant? Please?

Seeking fame and adulation is not the way to go, Pig. Even if you find it that way, it will not satisfy you….

I wouldn’t follow Goat if you paid me
