Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 17, 2020

…and everyone else’s health, especially the people I love.

Things I want, 2020: 2021.

The last issue on panel #1 has been mission accomplished on May 2019 for me . After 43 years of hard work .

Wow! Pig wrote something without getting ink on his head!!

don’t we all, Pig

Pig, you’re batting .333. You got a vacation and early retirement. Just not in the way you were expecting.

New car?? Pig, can you even drive? Early retirement?? You’re unemployed!

On an unrelated note: why do people love big TVs so much? My monitor from 2010 has higher resolution than most TVs.

Why does pig have a box of clothes?

The most worthless purchase made last year? A 2020 planner.

When you have your health, you have everything!

Yes healthy Pigs make good Bacon ;-) … Croc Power !

My wish list going forward is for business and political corruption to be defeated. For wealth to be redistributed so no one suffers from hunger and poverty. For humanity to turn from a race toward extinction and begin repairing our climate. For people to treat each other with love, compassion and empathy.

At last PIG makes sense! Three OINKS to PIG!

Things I want back in 2020: My liberty

Good choice, Pig.

Damned rabble-rousers…

Pig: so straightforward and sensible.

All this makes you realize how pointless what we spend most of our time and effort frustrating over is

Stephan, that’s not punny!

(Thank you.)

I come to the comics and especially PBS to escape the COVID-19 angst. C’mon. Pig – how about returning to some lighthearted humor?

This too is a great tragedy: Exactly as he (man) came, so he will go away; and what profit is there to the one who keeps working hard for the wind? Also, every day he eats in darkness, with a great deal of frustration and sickness and anger….Eccl. 5:16,17

I’m hoping for a ‘passion project.’ Or two.

The new cases curve barely changed, so He must mean the death curve is flattening, but displaying two curves with widely different numbers is an old trick. Figures don’t lie, but liars can figure.

I would add, “confidence that it’s safe to visit my friends again. And maybe my barber.”

We ALL need to set our priorities better. (I’Ve never thought much of Donald Trump anyway in my life. But our so-called ruling class, regardless of party, is horrible because we’ve let it get that way. And my first remark is part of why that is.) Pastis has made another wonderful point with Pig.

Love this strip! Perfect!

With the exception of Democrats Cuomo and News on, the governors of most states and both parties are looking better all the time.

Didn’t we see this joke a week or two ago starring Rat?

Don’t mind me. Just posting the latest development in the fight against Covid-19 here.

Not to worry, Pig!. As a cartoon, you are unlikely to become ill unless Cartoon-Boy harbors you ill-will and wants you to become sick!

And Cartoon-Boy wouldn’t do that. —Would he?

LMAO, all Pastis has done for years is make fun of people for eating healthy, i.e. not eating fried chicken every meal, and now we have COVID which is more deadly to obese people and he’s whining like a scalded dog.

you forgot Toilet Paper

At this point I’d rather have GAGA than MAGA.

LOL!

He could’ve just gotten a new paper.
