Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 05, 2018

Math is your friend.

He was born with nothing and still has most of it left.

I am surprised that Pig got this difficult math problem correct.

well, Pig’s off to a nice start

Well he achieved something, so next week he needs to do something 3 times.

From the sublime one day to the mundane the next.

♪♫ Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves noth-in’.. ya gotta have somethin’, if ya want to be with me…. ♪♫

The Key to Success: set the bar as low as possible.

Now that’s the kind of goal I can go all out for!

Nailed it. Good job. Snerks.

For the win!

How to succeed in life without really trying.

That’s what I love, an educational comic strip. I’ve heard of pig latin, maybe this is pig mathian.

This is retirement math!

He wrote down his goals for this week, he summarized his previous weeks accomplishments, so time to take a break, Pig, and relax.

A win, win for Pig

Nothing is impossible. All my life I’ve done nothing.

I didn’t know Pig was sinister..!

Old joke: She asked me what I was doing, I said, “nothing”. She said, “But that’s what you did yesterday”. I said, “Yeah, but I didn’t finish”.

How much has India contributed to modern math? Zero.

i forgot and posted this on yesterday’s today. Does anyone know how to get reinstated on Comics Kingdom? James Allen had me banished because he didn’t care for my snarkiness.

Love the expression in the final frame

Well, goals ARE supposed to be attainable, so it looks like Pig is right on track.

Nothing can be very stressing. You never know when You are finished.

Next week’s goals: To actually do something. Already checked off as having failed.

Pig is a math genius! Hurrah for “social math”!

Simple math!

This one reminds me of a game I play/used to play with family, guessing words letter by letter. Some cards offer the opportunity to triple, quadruple, or quintuple the value of the first guess, so we jokingly say, “3/4/5 times nothin’’ is nothin’.” Good times.
