Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 24, 2020

Pig knows what he’s good at.

You are a fluke of the universe…

Well, so much for the cognitive test…

why does Goat even bother hanging with those two goofballs?

Bonbons. I only ever encounter that word in very, very old movies. But it’s a cute word. Good name for a pet.

Everyone should aspire to be Peggy Bundy.

If at first you don’t succeed try try again, then quit and get tanked, or if you are Pig then Bon Bons are the way to go!!

I’ve eaten a lot of bon bons in my life.

“You can be the best at what you do, if you’re the only one doing it” – Anon.

Hear me be best…..person, man, woman, camera, television. Nobody can do that but me! Pass the bon bons.

I don’t give a fig for being best. That’s a pointless goal in my opinion. I try to do what I love, what draws my attention, and inspires me to work hard. If I can make a living at it and be of use to other people in the process, then I’m content.

Rat you should of said setting around drinking “BEER” not eating BonBons ;-) … Croc Power !

Looks like Rat and Goat are on the same page…of two completely different books.

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it.”

So much for words of encouragement.

Just gotta ask: What time do the commenters on here “rise and shine”? It’s a little after 7 a.m. where I am, and there’s already 27 comments on this comic. . .

A success and just didn’t know!

Do the best you can, up until you reach your “Wall of Responsibility”!

How can you always do your best? If you’re always doing it, it’s a constant level, and it’s your average

OY VEY! How this conversation went awry…between Pig and Rat….there’s no rhyme nor reason…

Way to lower the bar, Rat.

zeroth rule for success: Engage in something for which you’re sufficiently competent that you have some chance of beneficent accomplishment.

I usually go with something salty -Lay’s is an old go-to!

usually the people who tell you to try your best or give 110% have ulterior motives.

Mrs. Peggy Bundy is on the phone, O Hapless Hog!

I have a storage locker that I named Success. That way I can tell people that I have the key to Success.

The key is whatever opens opportunities for you even during a lockdown, Pig.

Let’s not and call it a day, Goat

Pig seems to be doing fine. Pass the bonbons!

If at first you don’t succeed, try it your wife’s way ;-)

At least it’s less cynical than usual

If failure wasn’t so tasty, I’d probably be more of a success.

Let’s let Pig think he’s a success at something….

“We don’t just sit around watching TV and eating bonbons—except ‘TV bonbon night’, which is every Tuesday and Thursday.”

— Agnes Skinner, The Simpsons

Wait… I’m confused

Birthday comic.
