Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 18, 2020

Reality bites.

When pigs fly . . .

Oh if only we could fly this way with more leg room.

if Pig were trying to fly, he should at least inhale helium because it’s lighter than oxygen {wink, wink}

Just wasted 30 minutes investigating the meaning of dreams about flying. Nobody knows, so enjoy.

The neighborhood saw the first instance of Swine Flew

I guess it would be a treat to be above it all. But I don’t know anyone who is.

See the pig, on the wing, hear the oinking song he sings. And the thing, that I dread, is he’ll fly over head. ( Roughly to the tune of Black Hole Sun )

Porcine aviation is still an aspiration for the bacon donors!

Stephan what’s going on with you, the last few cartoons are not like you can do. Shallow, not that funny, or no lesson learned

On the interpretation of dreams…

Eenie meenie chili beanie…

The Spirits Are About To Speak

12:06 a.m. EDT on May 31, 2017, Trump Tweets, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe…”

And that was it. Nothing else. About six hours later, he deleted the tweet.

In the Great Beyond, certain spirits were dismayed. “He was nodding off, susceptible, and we tried to warn him. We attempted to induce automatic writing, as the mortals say. Or automatic keyboarding, I guess. He was almost there. He almost spelled the crucial word.”

A cluster of pneumonia of unknown origin was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.

Its first confirmed appearance in the USA was reported on January 20, 2020.

The novel Coronavirus infection, in shorthand “covid.”

Not covfefe.

Ironically, the Tweet was said to have gone viral. The metaphor could not have been more apt.

He was on his way to Hog Heaven! (Until he woke up)!

Pig should enroll in Karate and then he could practice “Pork Chops”!

Pig you did that without wings ! … Croc Power !

Eat too many beans, and you will end up feeling like a balloon, Pig.

Maybe we should change the phrase to- When pigs dream!

Pig, if you hold on to your word balloon, you will be able to fly as long as you keep talking.

“Any fool knows

a dog needs a home

a shelter

from pigs on the wing"

Great. Swine flew.

Every time I dream I can “fly”, it’s really me just hovering near the ceiling, not even leaving the bedroom. It’s boring. But I guess it’s safe. And I don’t wake up depressed about it.

A flying pig.

Pigs are also flying over on Brewster Rockit this week.

Pig can soar in his dreams…..but not in real time.

Oh man pig, if I could do that, I would fly into disneyland and laugh at all my friends who couldn’t

If pigs had wings

Looks like Pig is learning about lucid dreaming.

My list of people worth going to see has gotten shockingly short.

So Pig flies. Now all we need is for Hell to freeze over.

Dreams. Those ##%^%$ dreams.

There are so many places I’d like to go, but won’t because of people who aren’t being careful, and because we don’t have the vaccine quite yet. I loved going to thrift shops, and buying crummy-looking items. Then, I’d refurbish them and re-donate them. Among many other things, I look forward to doing that again.

Well with Pfizer and Moderna having completed phase 3 trials with exceptional efficacy and Astrazenica and J&J scheduled to report on their phase 3 yet this year – there does appear to be a light at the end of this tunnel. Between Pfizer and Moderna they are planning on a combined 60 million doses available by year end as well. AstraZenica and J&J, assuming their data looks good should be in a similar space.

“Learning to fly , but I don’t got wings , coming down , is the hardest thing " . R.I.P. Tom Petty

I did tons of flying last night. One of my favorite sleeping activities.

Flying dreams are the best dreams. Nothing eases my depression more. Now if I could only control what I dream about.

Flying dreams are not uncommon

hang in there, pig!

In your dreams, Pig!

But pigs may fly some day soon: https://tinyurl.com/y2ku4q33

If only if only

One can dream.
