Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 28, 2020

I take it nap by nap.

Pig must be a Doobie Brothers fan.

Valerie Bertinelli took it one day at a time. The Doobie Brothers took it minute by minute.

If you go second by second, you can get continuous gratification.

Ha! Pig is reading Goat’s note, without an invitation, for a change. Serves you right, Goat!

Time flies when you’re having fun.

(Though it’s hard for most people to have much fun while timing flies).

“I try to take it one day at a time, but several days ganged up on me all at once.”

“One day at a time”. Isn’t that an AA thing?

Is it lunchtime already, Pig? I’d like some pork or bacon.

Well then Pig, isn’t it time you really got up to speed?

I try to take it one femtosecond at a time then I have time to correct my mistakes

Secret to Success? keep your goals easy…

Pig you are making the day longer than it has to be ;-) … Croc Power !

keep your expectations low and you’ll soon realize that they weren’t low enough…

One minute down, 1439 to go.

Doom and gloom….

This is really sad.

I prefer alternate reality to this recent strip bent

Minute by minute sounds too much like a phone plan. I’ll stick with day by day.

Pig’s strong to the finish cuz he eats up minutes.

What then is time? (In the time of Covid)

If no one asks me, I know; if I want to explain it to someone who does ask me, I do not know. Yet I state confidently that I know this: if nothing were passing away, there would be no past time, and if nothing were coming, there would be no future time, and if nothing existed, there would be no present time. How then can these two kinds of time, the past and the future be, when the past no longer is and the future as yet does not be? But if the present were always present, and would not pass into the past, it would no longer be time but eternity. Therefore, if the present, so as to be time, must be so constituted that it passes into the past, how can we say that it is, since the cause of its being is the fact that it will cease to be? Does it not follow that we can truly say that it is time, only because it tends towards non-being? St. Augustine, Confessions, Book 11

Is it just me, or does Mr. Pastis seem to suffer from depression? I mean it. There is nothing even vaguely funny in this comic any more. Not preaching, just hoping he can come out of it.

You only do two days, the day you go in quarantine and the day you get out.

Some days are like that… One breath at a time…….

“Another one bites the dust”!

I take it day by day… i’m 26019 days old

Slow readers, savor the moment!

’Toon Boy … get yourself some help.

Carpe diem. ,Pig : Time fades away .

Whatever it takes to get through!

You’ll wear yourself out with all that timekeeping, Pig. Day-by-day is fine enough….

Remember when Pig was the optimist in this strip?

Minute by minute, huh? The Doobie Brothers would be proud …
