Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 21, 2020

What fairy do they wish to for their funeral expenses?

When they want a milkshake, do they make a wish to Fairy Queen?

Is the debt fairy a good fairy or a bad fairy?

Certain religious groups have a wellness fairy they call God. Haven’t heard about the Christian sect which will not be named who refuse inoculations or taking their kids for professional health care.

“We ask Pastis to draw us as if we were well.”

You know, Pig, it might work better if you toss a few coins down to the Wellness Fairy while making your wish!

Again, is Goat saying Pig and Rat are more than just roommates? Frankly, I wouldn’t have a problem that.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that all fairies in ancient tales were outer space aliens.

“We also have the Spanish Fairy. Gets you all the medical care you need at a reasonable price, and the medicines are a lot spicier!”

Leave the debt fairy a-loan, guys!

here in japan we have mandatory health insurance – you pay modest premiums in, plus a co-pay that’s also not onerous when you receive care, and are entitled to all the mediocre care that the system can provide. which, i hasten to add, is a much better option than no insurance and no care…

In a couple of years Rat and Pig can get Medicare.

Good luck with that. Hope it works out for you!

I’ve looked at health insurance plans for medication, glasses, etc. The deductible is almost as much as I pay per year for my prescriptions and they want close to $3000 a year for that plan. I will stick to paying the $6000 or so a year my prescriptions cost out of pocket since that is only about a fifth of my before tax income.

Pig you are in a cartoon thus you may have whatever you want ! ….. As long as Mr. Pastis can draw it ;-) …. Croc Power !

What fairy do they have for loneliness?

Better wishing on the Co-pay Devil who would go easier on your soul than those Corporate devils.

…….. Should come with a health maintenance requirement

Pig, and I guess Rat, too, is actually better prepared than a lot of people. The best approach, however, is don’t get sick!

Is referring to someone as a fairy PC?

That Pig… always thinkin’..

My uncle recently paid the fairyman one obol to cross the river Styx.

I enjoy reading so many of these comments!

Then again, neither of them has had a regular job . . .

I pay my taxes, I get my health care. You might think it’s socialist and you’d be wrong. It’s just common sense. It has save countless lives and bank accounts since inception.

You don’t have to have your ashes picked up by family. The cremation service I have prepaid gives the choice of disposing of them. I didn’t ask how, but flushing down the toilet works just fine for me. I have had to pick up ashes several times. It isn’t fun, and then you have a box, unless you pay big bucks for an urn. And, what is the point of dumping the ashes in my favorite spot. If I still exist at all, those ashes are not me.

I thought that in the United States the Wellness Fairy and the Debt Fairy were one and the same?

So trump has finally introduced his new health care plan. You know the one to replace Obamacare.

Thoughts and prayers .

I think that’s the Trump plan.

Here thus explains how the U.S. health care system works.

Obama’s fault. And Biden’s since he didn’t decree to wear masks even though the one that should have didn’t

Not to worry.

The beautiful, incredible, Trump health plan is all ready to go and will be announced in about…. uh, two weeks!

And it’ll be perfect!

.

And Mexico will pay for it.

I thought Obamacare – which is still a thing – was supposed to eliminate all of that.

Whoooo Boy is this one begging for political debate!

Throw me in the dumpster fairy.

The debt fairy always responds, unfortunately.
