Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 01, 2016

If you buy dread, you can get panic at half price.

Seems a political strip without being as blatant as the ones with Rat running for office.

“Half-price on paralyzing neurotic behavior!”

Is it white or wheat?

Hope for the future? You need yourself for that… and future generations.

Hope? Bah, humbug!

Hope won’t pay the rent or feed the hungry or stop your hair from falling out or get you a discount at the liquor store.

You can wear yourself out by hoping.

What we want is fulfillment. (Preferably as an inheritance from a rich relative.)

No, I don’t need your dread- can I sell you some of mine?

I’m doing fine, thank you.

complacence appears to be free for all.

Ahhh….The old bait and switch……Rat style ! …..at least Lucy only charged a nickel :-)

These days we can all use some Hope…and Crosby…and Lamour…and J. Benny versus F. Allen!

This is good. It’s bipartisian!

We’ve had dread for the last 16 years with the last 2 loser potus’s. If soros doesn’t steal the election from the people again then at least trump will be entertaining even though the government will be deadlocked from neither side wanting to work with him.

One more week til the election……..

The Rastafarians have a lock on dread.

I’m still waiting for my change

Rat stopped running in the strip..we have 2 rats running, gonna be interesting.

Sorry, I’m full of dread already.

Hope? Ol’ Ski-nose is dead, but I do have some hope.

when you take away hope – no matter how small – you take away that which gives life to all.

In my day, IBM invented FUD. Fear, uncertainty and doubt. We bought DMS-10s anyway and were fine.

I feel nothing but dread when I look at the polls and see Hill-Rod leading in most of them.

With Election Day only a week away, and the two losers we have to vote for, there is enough dread to go around.

No hope, only Dread of Hillary or Trump wins.

Hope disappears from my life bit by bit every day.

Yeah. It’s sad but what can I do?

xxx

I dunno. How much does the dread cost?

(Like Pig says, “times are tough”!)

@Ripley:That’s like the old german joke:USA:We have Bob Hope, Steve Jobs, Johny Cash and Bill Clinton.Germany:We have no hope, no jobs, no cash and Helmut Kohl.(Helmut Kohl was infamous in Germany;our german friends called their sons “Helmut” if they did a shenaningan,

The worst thing you can give someone in hell is hope!
