Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 28, 2023

Tomorrow will be “don’t worry about anything” Wednesday.

Does this day exist in April, and is it recognized by the IRS? If so, it could solve a lot of problems.

I have a spare keychain in the safe.

I didn’t know they had a car. Apparently, neither does Pig.

Can you also eat the tacos while you avoid problems?

Why is Pig dealing with problems? Didn’t he “fly away” from his troubles?

The trouble with ignoring troubles: Bliss is a short-term effect.

That’s a good way to get Divorced!

As long as you have an endless supply of fresh, hot popcorn, I’m with you! Today is Problem Avoidance Tuesday!

Pig can drive a car? That I’d pay to see!

Does our comic strip writer friend have some issues he’s trying to avoid?! A LOT of escapist themes going on in the last couple of strips he’s written….hmmm….dan aka….

The problem is, sooner or later, it always catches UP, too- and then it Can’t be avoided.

Yeah keeps avoiding problems today and tomorrow will surely be WOENESSDAY.

I’m not sure the right way to observe Problem Avoidance Tuesday is by sitting next to Rat.

Rat, you sound like a Republican in Congress!

I’m in

Save some of those cheese balls for me, I’m coming to join you !

Alfred E. Neuman; “What, me worry?"

CAR KEYS ??? I just got a visual of a car load of barn animals passin’ me on the 49.

They might not want to ignore a past-due bill from their cable company, although I think Pig would probably be content staring at a blank TV screen.

Move over, “giving tuesday,” it’s “don’t give a sh1t tuesday.”

I tried that. It only gets worse the next day. Ignoring problems doesn’t make them go away!

Today is my “Ok, time to make those phone calls” Tuesday.

They have a car?

Lazy bums.

Is this the recommendation from the Wise A on a Hill?

I’d like to procrastinate, but I keep putting it off.

It’s surprising how many problems can be let go for a long, long time. Some not so much, and some will go a long time but get worse with time, too.

This would describe my city when it came to road and building maintenance. It was about 50 years worth of Problem Avoidance Tuesdays. Now they’re so behind, catching up is going to take lots of money and about 50 years. Hopefully our credit stays good.

Not a bad idea.

What is the object in the red object on the floor?

Just be sure the popcorn isn’t burnt.

Too bad all those problems will still be there when you deal with reality!

In this country everyday is problem avoidance day.

I would LOVE that day!

Move over, Rat & Pig. Make room for me!

Sounds pretty good about now.

“The bathroom shower”? Is there also a living room shower, a kitchen shower, and a bedroom shower?

The perfect name for National Election Tuesdays.

…and Wednesday…and Thursday…and………….

Queen Elizabeth I is notable for having found out that ignoring problems does in fact make them go away. Of course, it helps to be a queen.

congress celebrates this every day

Check in with the Crocodile family. Or Alligators or something. Something funny?

To be followed by Crisis Management Wednesday.

They won’t be better tomorrow

Expand to everyday that ends in y?

Nice … much better then “Begging Tuesday.” I got tired of all the emails, radio and TV spots from both not-for-profit AND FOR-PROFIT companies begging for me to send them $$ or buy something on this supposed “Giving Tuesday.”

Why isn’t Rat mentioning the other six Problem Avoidance days.?
