Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 04, 2020

Hopefully, they will matter again soon.

The plus: No more Mondays.

The minus: No more Fridays.

After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF.

A lot of us still have to go in to work. It’s the rest of the time that it doesn’t seem to matter what day it is.

Is this computer programmer logic?

2 out of 3. I understand that that’s not bad.

This doesn’t bode well for the sales of “Pearls Before Swine” calendars, Stephan.

Even I am getting a bit fuzzy as to what day it is.

By George, it is Thursday… and June.

Pull out your mobile phone and check the lock screen. The time / date / day of week should be displayed.

Thirty days hath Moveover

April, June, and Herbert Hoover

All the rest have turpentine

Except for Grandma

Who smokes a pipe

That can’t be right. Maybe it’s…

Thirty days hath Septober,

April, June, and no wonder.

All the rest have peanut butter

Except my father

Who wears red suspenders.

[And there are dozens of variations.]

When you work night shift you never know what day it is!

I don’t know if I’m lucky that I still have a job or unlucky that I still have to know what day it is.

It’s either Thisday or Thatday or just Anotherday.

Except…they still do. What day is Father’s Day, genius??

It’s only Everyday now, that’s it.

I’m retired. Calendars haven’t mattered for years, and it’s so nice.

Yes Rat calendars do matter for they are part of the weekly and daily to do list generation on the white board. Write down the goal/project and wipe it off when completed :-) … Croc Power !

Yes it is Thursday, which is my Monday at the grocery store. And it is June, so we’ve been open for a year. What a year!

Well he did say OR, so the statement is true.

What does PIG know?

It’s my birthday! :)

The freeway does not tell me what day it is any longer

They don’t have jobs.

I’ve been retired 16 years, so this sheltering thing makes zero difference,

It’s Thursday in June.

It could be the Wunesday the 32nd of Fremulon for all it matters. Stupid Covid.

Welcome to the wonderful world or retirement, Rat.

I am retired and can relate to this

At 81, I would understand this cartoon if I could remember what dates are.

Why do they always sit on pillows…can’t Stephan draw chairs?

June 4, look at the logo above your heads.

It’s Thursday, but it must be Monday somewhere, let’s get drunk. (Carl Sagan taught me this.)

Pepperidge Farms remembers!

No.

For a good many of us they still do. None of my work deadlines have disappeared, that’s for sure.

Days and months matter even now. I need to know when my on-air TV shows are on, when to take my blood sugar, when to call my sister, etc.

Time is an annoying artificial construct anyway.

I love explaining the logical “or” to non-coders!

It’s still 2020. Or 1918. Or the 1930’s.

The ones in the gas stations mattered. But that was before “pump it yourself”.

Thursday?

Why, yes. I could certainly use a drink!

There are plenty of calendars in my house. And I see the date on my phone, my home workspace computer, and this website. What’s Rat’s excuse other being a total jerk?

Fortunately (or not), I get a ton of calendars in the mail each year, and consequently my condo is plastered with them. I can see one pretty much anywhere I turn. And so, Rat, I can confidently state that today is Thursday, 4 June 2020. Heck, even my computer tells me that!

Thursday is my Monday and it’s June so Yes.

What’s your favorite number of the alphabet? Yes or No?

all of them

Thursday
