Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 25, 2023

Just don’t do anything

The pig is in the details

At least he’s learned that he’s stupid; that’s something that a lot of stupid people just don’t get.

Well, just get a little better every day Pig

I have a perverse admiration for people who don’t learn from their mistakes—it’s an oddly American quality…

Pig realizes his limitations!

You’re repeating your first mistake, pig.

Without mistakes there is no opportunity to learn. The question is if one is able to recognise the opportunity and to take it.

Yay, Pig!

How does that go? “I’m surrounded by stupid people, they do not know they are stupid”! Or something like that!

Stupid people think other people are stupid. As far as I am concerned, everybody is stupid.

Pig isn’t stupid, some people just takes what he says and does out of context, just ask any ex or current politician

Meanwhile at Non Sequitur Danae is telling everyone it’s time for stupid people to shut up and mind their own stupid business.

I make new and exciting mistakes instead of the tired old ones.

Pig should take Rat’s approach and blame all his mistakes on others.

Pigs are actually supposed to be intelligent.

I’m right there with ya pig!

The basic problem being that stupid ignorant people embrace their lack of intellect with affection to gleefully inflict it on others much to everyone’s detriment.

Well, admittance is the first step to progress.

Don’t roller skate in a buffalo herd.

I feel ya, pig, yes, I feel ya, bro.

Pig is too dense to learn from mistakes!

I’ll take stupid & kind over smart & cruel

Pig isn’t stupid here; he is being realistic. Everyone makes mistakes….the hazard comes when people refuse to admit them.

Pig, the important thing is to have progress, not perfection.

Cause and effect is a great teacher. But some groups of people are bound to suffer the same negative outcomes of their decisions over and over and never really learning. Eg. California, Illinois, and New York politicians…

Felt. sob Stupid broken brain.

Extremely painful mistakes are the best way to learn for boys.

I learned not to eat the yellow snow

They may be mistakes, but they are fun.

His creativity knows no bounds.

“Hey,hey,hey,hey…hey stoopid!”-Alice Cooper

Did you ever go to school,Stupid?"

“Yessir. And I came out the same way”.

I once had someone copy my true/false test. I aced it, but he copied wrong and failed. Somehow that was my fault.

At least not the same ones…..

He’s being too hard on himself. You can’t accomplish anything if you never make mistakes.

Pig’s problem is far too common. Almost as common are the ones who never make a mistake. When they mess up it’s something or someone else trying to trip them up.

Experience is recognizing a mistake when you make it again.

Consider Elon Musk. One brilliant, successful business decision after another, until he was convinced that he had the world’s best judgment and could do no wrong.

Two of the biggest and most painful mistakes that you can make are in the area of romance. (1) You are head-over-heels, and then the other decides you are just a friend, and you try to be one, hoping that it will someday develop into something more. (2) Clinging when the affection isn’t returned. Make either of these blunders and you will suffer unlimited pains, only to wind up with neither love nor friendship. Yes, I made both these mistakes. The invitation to her wedding arrived just today.

Good old Pig. He has learned to accept himself for what he is: stupid [his word, not mine]….

Aww … I wanna give Pig a hug in this one.
