Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 26, 2018

If you run on it you can generate electricity.

And gaining a ton of pounds by not using it.

if you want to do exercise and save electricity at the same time, Pig, might I suggest running outside?

When I was a teen my mom had a treadmill wasn’t electrical. All it was, really, was a set of rollers, a belt over the rollers, a framework, and a handle. No excuse if you got on for not using it and it saved power. She stopped using it since it didn’t offer any kind of resistance and she was burning more calories walking around the house.

Exercise is healthy for you and saving electricity is healthy for the environment, but sometimes you can’t save yourself and the environment at the same time.

Just a note of sorts, but both Pig and Goat have stick legs.

What Pig needs is Big Bad Wolf on his pursuit.

Uh, radical idea here, but does anybody still run on the road or get outside on a real two-wheel bicycle?

Finally, Pig got his own electronic coat rack!

Baby steps Pig, you can power it up every other day. You don’t want to go hog wild.

The cardio machines at my gym are powered only once the person starts using them, so win-win.

And some machines will actually feed the energy you expend BACK into the grid, thus saving you money!

Rationalized environmentally friendly sloth.

Pig can go outside after eating a box full of candy, i’m sure it helps.

Yep, Pig you’re saving about 2 bucks a month, so it’s more like about .0705 ounces.

You’re also saving a ton o’ fat, piggy Pig! Work that treadmill! C’mon, get it going! Run! Run! Run!

Goat finally knows Pig.
