Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 28, 2021

As a Mets’ fan, I can relate to this.

This is almost a rerun, but nevertheless 9/10! Good strip, Steph! I can relate, Pig.

2/2/2

Pig still hasn’t grasped the concept of T-shirts.

Life ain’t nohow permanent. – Walt Kelliy (speaking through, I think, Pogo’s mouth)

Failure is not an option.

But I ran out of options.

Anyone who has never failed has never lived.

I fail to get this.

At the end of the day we all lose to the Grim Reaper…

Failure is not an option, it’s standard equipment.

Shades of Adam Savage…

Pig REALLY understands the backbone of reality!!

When has failure EVER been an option.

In failure we learn to try something different. Sadly my failures lead to frustration which leads to not paying attention to continued attempts. This leads to the discovery of what works, except I don’t remember what I did – Ack!

You’re such a pithy perpetual pessimist, Pig.

Finally!! A motto that makes sense.

Well Pig if you don’t try how can you fail ?

Must be describing the many failed recounts!

The sign certainly applies to today’s strip.

So true.

Everyday Pig gets ideas….sort of….

whoa, imagine the relief…

The story of my life

“Failure is not an option”. I read Timmy Failure and I saw it. Pastis only makes few references to timmy failure

it’s not an option. it’s standard equipment

“That’s not a prediction, that’s a spoiler.”, Paul Heyman, pro wrestling manager extraordinaire.

Failure is not an option. The option is what you do NEXT.

Or tie dye.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Never fail to fail. It’s the easiest thing to do.

My brother has a picture of duck that says “Pax Numquam Erat Optio.” That’s Latin for “Peace Was Never an Option.”

It used to be the Illinois state motto until they replaced it with “Tax and Spend”

…and yet we keep going and going and going…

With some people, pig is correct…..

I am confused. When Pig turns the sign over in the fourth panel, what happened to the writing? Or are these two individual pieces of paper?

Actually, Pig is not far off. The full thought is, “Failure is not an option, it’s a given. The option is what you do next.”

Why did you do that swine!

Would quite like that quote if it is accurate

Pig had me at the first half, not gonna lie.

I just noticed goat’s nostrils and now I can’t not see them.

The Biden-Harris motto. TtT

Man plans and God laughs. Old Yiddish proverb.

And it is true. All successes are preceded by numerous failures.

Someone has read The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries…

Maxim 70. Failure is not an option – it is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.

Pig has the advantage of knowing in advance that he’s going to fail. That gives him an edge on the rest of us losers….

Maxim 70 from the 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries shows that Pig’s signs are just the first half of the saying.

Ever wonder how Pig’s signs magically change?
