Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 26, 2023

For $10, he tells you to stick your fingers in your ears and hum.

I’ve tried this. It doesn’t work.

Eh this same as burying head in sand Pig. Grows up and faces reality Pig. Not be such timid little coward.

unfortunately we can still hear what is happening

Well, the money certainly goes away.

Lucy only charged 5 cents for bogus advice.

I can’t see, I can’t see. Why not? My eyes are closed. (The Three Stooges)

Hey Pig, another fiver’ll get you a white cane!!!

Where does Pig get the fiver from?

five bucks went away for sure

These day it does seem that people have forgotten that hate is Satan’s weapon of choice.

Reminds me of the glasses Zaphod Beeblebrox had when danger approaches.

Just turn off all social media

Pig can’t see all the cheese there is to eat.

Hope, pray, and don’t worry. Padre Pio.

To get home, click your feet together …

Should have asked the wise a$$ on the hill for advice instead.

Liberals would say “Close Your Eyes and Tell Yourself Everything Really Has Been Built Back Better”. And keep them closed. Believe what you are told rather than what you see.

Indulging on cartoons and comics are one way of coping.

I wish it worked.

I tried to shut it all out, too. When I came back the load was twice as big, doubled in weight. Didn’t work for me, either.

If we don’t change directions, we will end up where we are headed. — Walt Kelly

How do I save my burning house? I know! I’ll ignore it!

Pastis is depressed again….

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

The never ending drama…since 2015!

Pig is going broke trying to avoid it.

Here’s some help. Stop talking to Rat.

Unfortunately, you can not heal a hurt by pretending that it is not there.

It might work if “close your eyes” includes turning off the news.

Pig got scammed out of 5 bucks

I’d say prayer, but that only works if you believe it.

Too many people do that already.

Or, close your eyes and pray

Dr. Ostrich. But Freud and Jung, never.

I still like the idea of staying in bed all day.

Psychiatric help 5 cents.Only Rat GETS it,not gives it

Okay, Rat…that’s one sucker you’ve found. You’re going to need a lot more than that to sustain your business model.

Easier than sticking your head in the sand; same results

That will be another five bucks, Pig! And so forth, until you wise up to Rat’s scams….
