Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 28, 2022

Maybe the problems will go away if you ignore them.

But what if the problem is that you hate exercise?

Be careful you don’t get run down Pig!

Charlie Brown: “What if everyone did like you and ran away from their problems?”

Linus: “Well, at least then we’d all be running in the same direction!”

What if the problem is that you have fleas?

I find that hiding is easier than running.

Just remember to plan where you’re running to, or things may end up worse.

That’s the beauty of the system. Dead is only for once, but running away is for ever. “Rincewind”

The Count is not really sure what Rat’s solution would be but The Count thinks The Count would prefer those. Dilly! Dilly!

Fight or flight, and flight wins again

No wonder he’s so optimistic.

My cat used to flee all the time. So I brought him to a flee market.

You can runs but you cannot hides, Pig.

Just turn the radio up.

My father hated doctors so his excuse was he had the “runs”! As my brother said “Yes he’s running away from the doctors”!

Impractical at best but oh so tempting.

When it’s a “Fight or Flight” situation, “Flight” is Pig’s default choice.

“This is a distinct philosophy of mine: There is no problem so big or so complicated that it cannot be run away from!” – Linus

But running away only gives you more, Pig.

Alot of refugees fall into this category. btw I am not saying all of them

Pig can run but he can’t hide….

Yay, I got it…

Linus once told Charlie Brown, “No problem is so great, that it can’t be run away from.”

‘When danger rears its ugly head’

I get my exercise by stretching points, jumping to conclusions, and running down the boss.

My mother hates exercise, but she’s never run away from a fight (that I’m aware of). Her motto — which she hammered into my brother, my sister, and me, is, “Reality must be dealt with”. Sadly, that doesn’t make for an amusing comic strip.

Fight or flight.

Denial is a form of running away. I was talking to a woman who always appeared to be so calm. When I asked her about it, she said that she decided that denial wasn’t such a bad thing, and she did it regularly. Unfortunately, you can deny something for a long time, but eventually, you have to face whatever it is.

There no problem that can’t be ran away from, well, except for that final one.

Pig’s probably right. And that’s sad….
