Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 24, 2021

Boring is sometimes better than the alternative.

Personal Dictionary for Pigs only mentioning words like ham, bacon, Bologna, swill.

Pastis, that does not reflect well on your choice of characters in your strips.

No kidding.

“May you live in interesting times” is an actual curse though.

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” —John Lennon

it would be nice to return to semi-boring even…

Boring is the name of a small town in Oregon. Also a verb that involves making holes in things. And yeah, there’s a picture of me playing computer solitaire while waiting for Go Comics to update. :)

What, no picture?

That’s a kick in the head Pig!

Boredom is for the boring.

Boring is good

Pig how can your life be boring ? Pastis puts you in 60 % of the PBS comic strips ;-)

Boring? You must be too privileged, Pig. We poor hungry bears don’t has time to be bored.

This past year has just been too darn your life.

Well, Pig literally is a boar.

that sounds more direct then an explaining… but I could be wrong.

wait until we get to useless……..

Is having a boring life worse or better than having an interesting death?

My life probably seems boring to others, but it suits me just fine. At 61, I’m not looking for much “excitement”

I bet it has Rat’s picture beside the definition of mean.

There’s a picture of him, too. Now that really hurts.

Is Stephan describing his life?

If you’re looking for cynicism and misery in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of this comic strip.

Even after ten years of retirement, bored isn’t in my vocabulary!

Well, look it up in an irish dictionary.‘Could be worse.’

No boredom here. I’ve started (and completed!) more craft projects in the past 18 months than in the previous ten years.

I think your grandchildren felt that pain…….

Pig has a career possibility in The Boring Company…he would feel right at home!

I can bet that Rat probably tampered with the definition for “boring” in that dictionary just to mess with Pig. I never “sausage” a cutting response.

One would think the word “boring” wouldn’t be halfway through the dictionary, like where Pig is looking now. Probably be a lot closer to the start.

You want exciting.?Change your name to “Guard Duck”.

Just how exciting is a pigs life supposed to be, really.

It’s not the actual definition, it’s your picture there that really hurts…

Im 74 and I knew that “may you live in interesting times” is a very old chinese curse long ago!

We want phunny Crocks!

Webster can be so cruel…

Pandemics will do that to people!

=~{

Isn’t boring also a verb?

If I saw something like that in a dictionary, I would start to question my sanity.

it is what it is, Pig. In truth, we all know you too well and don’t even have to consult the dictionary!
