Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 08, 2019

Rat should be working in a funeral home.

Stop after poster 1.

Rat forgot – there’s always the dark 20 months before a presidential election campaigns – followed by the 18-months of mid-term election campaign rhetoric.

But that light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train!

And don’t forget that some of the time that light at the end of the tunnel is just the oncoming train because you were too late starting the trip through the tunnel.

Well, he is right. You just have to pray that you don’t run out of tunnels before you get to the longest one. Keep that train moving.

Why get into the tunnel in the first place? Tunnels are for Rats!

Demotivational poster – Despair: Its always darkest before it goes pitch black.

And now for something completely different ! ……. Croc Power !

On the other hand, “The darkest hour is just before the dawn”.

Pastis’ seems to be in the throes of morbidity these last couple of days.

The light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming dragon…

One I saw……”Struggle all you want…..doesn’t matter…..you going to die anyway. So have a peachy day!”

The boss once put up some posters featuring sports teams. “Funny,” I said, “that you don’t see many motivational posters featuring the Cubs.”

I’d hate to see Rat’s version of the “Hang in there, baby” poster with the kitten.

When in doubt turn and go back

Just keep digging and you’ll come up with something even if it’s only a grave.

Remember, in America, he with the most toys wins.

Stephan’s a cartoonist. Why is he worried about the workplace? He is the workplace.

Off topic for today, but I need some help from you comic gurus that know how to find past strips.I am looking for one where Pig has won a trophy, If I remember correctly he is asked of it third place and his response is something along the line of “being able to breathe.”

My kind of poster.

There’s always another tunnel.

Dear Mr. Pastis,

My friends and I are organizing a suicide club. Would you please come and deliver a motivational speech?

The light at the end of the tunnel is the one on the front of the rapidly approaching train…

Rat seems to have tunnel vision.

And see how Cartoon-Boy avoids having to try to draw a skull? Heh he he heh!

By Rat’s logic, life is meaningless because life will end eventually. He’s discouraging everyone from doing something about their lives, setting goals or making milestones and accomplishments because that’s just what he does.

I’ll draw a skull for u

There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. But sometimes that light is the train comming towards you.
