Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 30, 2024

You should try it some time, Rat.

‘Maybe’?

Ever have one of those days where you’re standing next to Pig and you don’t have ear plugs?

Where everything you touch turns to snot?

I like Pig’s world today, Rainbows and Unicorns!

Just once?

The optimist sees the bottle of wine half full. The pessimist sees it half empty. The opportunist drinks the wine.

“Mama told me there’ll be years like this. ’There’ll be years like this,’ my mama said.” Whatcha say? “Days”? We should be so lucky.

I LOATHE Pollyannas!

It’s just one of them days, when I wanna be all alone/It’s just one of them days, when I gotta be all alone/It’s just one of them days, don’t take it personal/I just wanna be all alone, and you think I treat you wrong — Monica

Look like Pig certainly was.

My mom told me there would days that would just fall to shtt. What she didn’t tell me was that there were going to be so dam many of them.

Pig’s got the joy joy joy joy down in his heart. Down in his heart. Down in his heart to stay..

Sounds like Pig discovered … " Acapulco Gold " … ;-)

Endorphin rush for the pig guy.

If you have enough of “those days” it can become one of “those lives”. Gotta hope the good days are more numerous than the bad ones. ;-)

For some reason this reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore show. As Lou Grant is finishing an interview with Mary, he commented: You know what you’ve got? Spunk! Mary looks happy until Lou finishes with: I hate spunk!

Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you’re part of a team…… The Lego Movie

Optimists are just pessimists without enough experience.

Reminds me of the Van Morrison song “Days Like This.”

I have to agree with Rat on this one. There’s a difference between optimism and denial.

Pig can be happy. But it’s best not to broadcast it too loudly.

Sounds like Kamala the Ugandan Giant running around cackling without a clue. God Bless America!

One of those days where there are way too many emails in your inbox? Why yes, I’m having one of those now. GRRRRRR.

Every day is like that. <*sigh*>

You ever have one of those days when it seems like everyone’s getting on your case, from the teacher on down to your best girlfriend? Well you know, I used to have those days just about all the time. But I found a way to get out of it.

Let me tell you ’bout it…!

He may have a point. I consider myself to be an optimist, AND I’ve been dropped on my head back when I was 2.

Are Pig’s ears shorter than they used to be?

Make your day like Pig’s today!

Sometimes I feel guilty for feeling happy when there is so much human caused suffering in this world, but then I realize that evolution has selected for humans to behave this way and there isn’t much I can do about it, so I try to forget about that suffering and go on enjoying my day.

I wish I had one of Pig’s days.

Thoughts become things…..choose the good ones.

I’ve had 29646.42147 of those days.

I’ve had 29646.42147 of those days.

Lest we forget…there are indeed both kinds of days.

Is Pig subject to mood swings? One day he’s depressed and now this.

I used to. Now they are called Hours. :)

I was hit in the head by a line drive once… does that count?? (that actually would explain a lot… I tend to act like Pig, and sometimes get a reaction like Rat from people around me…lol!)

Life’s not that bad…..

I need a slew of those days.

Huh?

Kamala Harris 2024!

I kind of agree with Rat on this.
