Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 16, 2020

Regrets, I’ve had a few… I did it my way.

I always thought rock & roll never regrets.

On the flip side, Pig also regrets not letting it go sooner.

Pig just had to use a spherical stone.

You just made the Weinermobile crash into the Peanutmobile.

Similar to stone of kidney.

Maybe it was Rat that got hit.

If anyone over 30 tells you they have no regrets and given the opportunity would no nothing differently in their life, you can bet the farm that you’re talking to either an idiot or a liar.

Hey, Pig! If you are full of regret, you COULD roll the stone back UP the hill, but that would raise a sissy fuss.

pig needs to just go get stoned…

When giving advice, be prepared to receive the consequences!

You regret too much, Pig. But worry not, for I’ve got a solution for you. Meet me at dinnertime tonight and I’ll ensure that you never regret again.

Pig’s Papa was a rolling stone….

A fresh start, new regrets.

Well Pig you just learned now you must let go in a different way … aim for Rat next time ! … Croc Power!

LOL

PIG is wracked with more regret now more than everrrrrrrrr

Now that’s rock and roll!

Forgot to yell, “Look out below!”

PAPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sisyphus made silly.

Hmm, Rolling Rock…Rolling Rock… Sounds like a good name for something…. but what?

Proof that sometimes letting things go or out the wrong way can hurt others as well.

And the Brits say, it’s not heavy, only one stone.

The errors I’ve made in my past/ would leave a sane person aghast/ but I’ve had so much fun / That I know I’m not done.. /and the next one will not be my last !

Sisyphus in the real world.

Is Pig now a dung beetle?

I have many more regrets about things I didn’t do than about things I did.

“Non! Rien de rien. / Non ! Je ne regrette rien. / Ni le bien, qu’on m’a fait. / Ni le mal, tout ça m’est bien égal!” Edith Piaff recording – 1960 (music by Charles Dumont with lyrics by Michel Vaucaire – 1956).

This makes me think of the Snickers commercial where the biker ends up with a new tattoo that says “No Regerts” because the tattoo artist needed a Snickers candy bar.

Poor Sisyphus

Moral: Beware withdrawal symptoms when you quit a bad habit.

It’s the music of life. You might start a “Landslide” (Stevie Nicks) , but “It’s still rock and roll to me” (Billy Joel)!

hmm wonder if Pig and Sisyphus are related

On a positive note, the goat poop overpowers the smell of old lady farts.

‘Tis better to have carried a Great Stone o’ Regret around than to have snuffed a person’s life with it!

Whatcha gonna do now, Killer Pig?

I have very few regrets.

Thanks to my very short memory.

I’m let down. Thought it was a huge meatball.

When you regret not having regrets just so you can fit in

What should have happened is in the last panel, a pebble falls on pigs head. Sort of a stone starting to form. (A metaphor for how when you let go of regrets, they will come back)
