Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 27, 2024

In panel 9, Rat gets hit by a bottle.

Cheese does make everything better. But all the way up to “okay” is iffier.

Why don’t the homeless encampments get blocks of cheese?

Pig would include bacon, but he isn’t into cannibalism!

Four of those are solved by electing Trump. Two aren’t real. One will probably kill us all.

Artificial intelligence will never be a match for my natural stupidity.

Wow. That first panel is what would happen if Trump was elected. I hope people are smart and don’t vote for Trump, who is a Hitler admiring fascist, racist, convicted criminal felon rapist unAmerican insurrectionist who tried to overthrow the govt.

You gotta have wine with cheese; liquor doth befoul it.

Usually the rat takes the cheese.

I remember when the government was giving out cheese to Seniors, my grandparents got some!

Throw down some Sex, Drugs & Rock ‘n Roll!

“Artificial intelligence poses great risk”. I’ve heard many people say something like that, but the way I see it, AI is just a tool, which can be used either for good or evil, much like the Internet. The Internet can be used for good things, like providing reliable information about important subjects, or it can be used for neutral purposes, such as comics sites, or it can be used for evil, like coordinating terrorist attacks. You just have to know how to tell the good from the bad. It took time for people to learn to avoid the bad parts of the Internet, and it will take time to learn how to tell good AI from bad, but AI itself is just a tool, and is neither good nor bad.

It makes everything Okay for people who live in ivory towers, but things are not Okay for homeless people fighting wars.

Don’t worry… Monsieur Trump will sort all those out with his magic baguette…

Cheese steenks. Gimme the beer.

I remember hobos. They were few and far between.

If the planet would just stop funding proxy wars for the ruling corporate elite’s profiteering and corruption, we could probably afford more cheese for the homeless, and more resources for developing 3rd World countries to help end the need for people to migrate to other countries. But some people are just unable (or unwilling) to differentiate between who is for war and who is against it, so they keep voting for the puppets of the Military Industrial Complex and Corporate Conglomerates who are easily bribed to overregulate free market Capitalism until it is nothing more than a Fascistic enterprise that is tyrannical in operation.

Behold the power of cheese… and bourbon.
