Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 11, 2020

Pretty safe to assume Pig doesn’t subscribe to newspapers, so his life is bliss.

The Heavens opened up, and the crying began.

oh, unhappy and happy day

Unreachable and giggling… Sounds like he’s going to have his hands full all weekend. 8)

When my neighbour retired, he never got an email of his own (only had a work one), does not own a computer or a cell phone. If you want to reach him, you call his landline or send him a letter. Or knock on his door.

I’m jealous.

Strange argument for a guy who relies on subscription numbers to make.

Now if I can just figure out how to get my plumbing to “accidentally” break.

No radio, either?

It is a survival necessity these days.

There is a lot of stuff out there that needs to be ignored these days.

You can ignore politics, but politics won’t ignore you.

But he can’t read the online comic strips, either.

Pig that was how life was in the 70’s and 80’s … and we lived ! … Croc Power !

Pig is being an ostrich.

Pastis, yer like a wino lecturing us about alcohol.

You know, it IS possible to switch things off and/or log out. You don’t HAVE to be a slave.

This may be a good thing…maybe we ALL need to give it a rest….

I’ve stopped checking Facebook, all the people I knew growing up make me say “who are you?” Twitter, check only once a week, too much tension. Don’t have cable, only check PBS/BBC World News for news, changing the channel when the political pundits come on.Trying to reduce the stress and anger causing things as much as possible.

i would like to see more of the guard duck.

I wonder if “Mayhem the Cat” is his upstairs neighbor…I generally ignore TV commercials, but he & “Mayhem the 70-lb. St. Bernard Puppy” never fail to crack me up!

Oh Pig.

Pig’s euphoria will last until he realizes he wants but cannot get repairs or replacements, or finds his home (and Rat’s, too, remember: they share a house) under water….

No news is good news. And, all the news is just overwhelming.

Pig is having better luck than Joe Pyle at Non Sequitur in ignoring the news.

If that is the end result; then I’m going upstairs now, plugging the drains, and turning the water on!

Hey, world, it’s past lunch and I haven’t read any news. Is it all still slanted, like Madison Newspapers in the ’50s?

I’d like to giggle more…Pig good role model.

“If you need me I’ll be unreachable and giggling,” is going to be my new phrase.

Paul Simon: “I get all the news I need on the weather report!”

When it comes, Pig will be vaporized in mid-giggle!

Favorite strip of the day

I was hoping it would end in pun where Pig said “My water broke.”.

Pignorance is bliss

Yeah, we should all burn our laptops and devices and stuff so we can’t do horrible things like read comics online like the scum out ther- wait a minute. There’s a stain on my iPad
