Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 05, 2020

The upside of pandemics and climate change.

God only gives us what we need

Every silver lining has a cloud?

If you had any money, the politicians would devise a way to take it all; and tax you again.

Why is my life in today’s strip?

Does anyone else hear the late, great Prince singing “1999” right now?

There is a future, though it doesn’t include most species alive today! Rat may have a chance if he can fend off the roaches and tardigrades!

A guy I know says, “God never gives us more than we can handle.”

So I asked him,“Then why do some people die before their time?”

It all evens out in the end.

Rat throwing that paper almost looks like waving a white flag, which is what Rat is doing about the future.

“Spend like there’s no Tomorrow! Stick future generations with the bill!”

Rat the alarmist.

Rat you are a rat … not a squirrel storing for the future . You get what work for ;-) … Croc Power !

Gallows humor nicely done in cartoon pictures that even Trump can understand. Abandon ship, abandon ship of state.

Retirement planning would certainly be simpler if we could be certain when we would die.

Today is yesterday’s future.

What a relief!

with interest rates at the level they are, if you have any money saved it is losing value daily.

So much for careers and ambitions.

define “work out”

Future is looking bleak but there’s always hope…especially in November….

Oh, there will be a future. Just might not be a bright one

And, by golly – we needed a Pandemic.

Live now.

It’s a problem being the only species that apparently knows it’s going to die.

Plan B for a lot of people…

Religious claptrap there!

God gives us all we need—a world to sustain us and His unconditional love and the promise of eternal life. It is WE who abuse these gifts and therefore we create this unfair and damaged world so many posters have railed about today. We human beings have all the tools and equipment for a beautiful life. It it not God’s fault if we abuse and corrupt his gifts. So stop blaming God and Instead do good things for your fellow man. You’ll feel better and be a better person whether you believe in God or not.

You just keep on being an optimist, Pig, right up to the End….

I didn’t know the pig was a Gen X-er!
