Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 06, 2020

Pigs plan is to be right about things on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; THEN be wrong about some things on Thursday and Friday.

Pig has a long history of writing wrongs.

Pig’s goal was to be right at least twice, then he can be wrong.

e.g., hang out with Goat – stay in bed; then visit Rat for advice.

help other people – set goals; then visit Pastis.

Unless he meant, “Be right more than wrong for a while, then be wrong more than right for a change!”

I hate weeks that start out good and turn wrong. Much better to be rong first then rite.

Does anyone else suspect that pig is secretly smarter than he lets on?

Most millennial’s wouldn’t know the difference.

Okay than.

That should be, “…a long week.”

There is a big difference, Pig.

Just to bug goat write “weak”

That was then, this is than!

Since he wrote it long hand, he can’t even say “Darned auto-correct!”

i’d rather be left than right…

How about “be right more, then wrong someone”. Could be fun

Then, Pig felt weak!

Pig, “Right On!” Come on Friday!

The correct response, Pig, is to say “That was an acceptable variant in the 1800s” and walk away like a boss.

Pig how can you be Right when you are left handed ? … Croc Power !

Goat, you are such a grammar nazi.

Get a brian, moran!

Could be “then”, and the missing comma before it could make it accurate.

Ohhhhh yes. Such a long week.

This is KNOW WEIGH to start a Munday morning. . .we’ll have Spell Checkers Anonymous on us in a trice. . .

I’d rather have a taco than/then have some pizza -—— choose your preference.

Goal for the week: Survive.

This is similar to my goal: make 1 fewer mistake today then yesterday. Mistakes as judged by my wife.

It’s neither here, nor then,

Actually, pig’s statement makes more sense than Biden giving a speech. Translation: (Be right more.) He wants to be right more often than wrong. (then wrong) After being right most of the week, its ok to then be wrong, once. Makes perfect sense, once you understand Jive.

will be long weak

Or maybe there just should have been a comma after more.

I take great pride in being as wrong as humanely possbile.

‘A’ long week. It will be ‘a’ long week

Is it wrong though?“Be right more. Then wrong.” seems like a realistic goal. :)

Maybe he was repeatedly right very early in the week, and THEN wrong.

Misuse of THEN and THAN is the 2nd biggest error on Facebook. Biggest of all is misuse of “YOU’RE” and “YOUR”!

He had it right. Then it went wrong.

Right or wrong, at least try to be kind.

tell that to the protesters should get there ast together, losing the momentum

He needs a comma after ‘more’!

We all have the right to be wrong.

Be right more, then wrong.

There, fixed it.

Good for Goat! Gotta keep Pig on his toes (so to speak)!

What a week!

Kibitzer’s die! Advantage, Dolly Parton.

At least you got a language lesson out of this, Pig. Nowhere to go but up.

My pet peeve as a professor…big difference between “then” and “than.”

Unless Pig’s goal was to be right before being wrong, in which case he was right (and can now feel free to be wrong!)

Actually, if Pig put a comma after the word “more”, then his sentence makes sense as written. Pig probably did misspell “than”, but it could have been a punctuation error. Goat is demonstrating limited thinking.

First be right, THEN be wrong.

I’m a registered Democrat, so I’m always left.
