Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 11, 2020

How much for the product placement?

Part of that “all” continues not to wear masks and not give a damn about health rules . All over the world .

And THIS little pig goes wii wii wii all the way home!

And this little piggie went Wii, Wii, Wii all the way home.

2020 is definitely not the time to say that we’re all together.

We are all in this together.

However, some are helping get out of it, the rest want more of us in it.

Together? Count me out, Pig. I’m keeping my social distancing from you.

should not he have added “Wii, all the way home.”?

“WII”? That was a few generations ago. The current thing is the “Nintendo Switch”. ’D

I’m getting tired of this “2020 – bad” stuff.

Switch: just stay home and play, you twits.

Whatever happened to the Wii? About a decade ago it was all the rage…..

…will rock you.

Wii are in this. The high mucky-mucks are ignoring the rules and snickering at us.

We are all in this together, so stay home and play video games all day.

Don’t count me in, Pig! You, graffitied the window, not me!

Wii are the knights who say nii

Here’s a stretch. It originally said “WiFi” and someone told Pig to get the “F” out of here.

Wii are all in this apart.

He is right

Pig forgot his mask….gasp!

Tell that to the doctors and nurses who have to take care of all the tRumpkin no-maskers.

Nice words.

What is this wii that you talk about ? I’m the only one in this foxhole …. Croc Power !

We should be all in this together. It should be all of us. But that would require some education on the situation, cooperation, some looking out for your neighbor, maybe some slight sacrifice for the greater good, and a little patience with each other. But the GOP and its minions see education, cooperation, your neighbor, sacrifice, and patience as the duty of the “other guy; of them, not me”- that pretty much explains why we’re in this mess.

Torn from the pages … of 2007.

Anyone else hearing the wii song in their head?

Switch?

Except…EXCEPT…that we are NOT all in this together.

Some people can afford to quarantine not only effectively, but in comfort. Some people are forced, by their career, to be on the front lines and risk their own lives every day. Some people can afford the absolute best care available if they get sick. Most of us cannot. WE ARE NOT ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, and I’m quite sick of seeing commercials and facebook posts from celebrities in their opulent, immaculate homes saying that we are.

No, we decidedly are not! Politicians from both sides of the aisles pass draconian measures to “keep us safe” and then violate their own orders by NOT staying home and practicing social distancing. We are not in this together until the laws and restrictions apply to everyone equally.

Seems kind of stuck in a rut to me…

Wear a mask when in public, Pig.

All of us except the uniquely exempt?

Great use of a marker pig!

Like everyone else, I just want this year, and this pandemic to be over. My oldest child is failing virtual school. My youngest cries because she can’t go to school. And my wife and I try to keep our sanity, which isn’t easy. I know that there are thousands of other people in the same situation. We just try to keep our heads down, and keep working.

Does Pig always walk around with a Sharpie in his ear?

I don’t thinks so

Do you mean Wii the people, Pig?

Are we? Look around.

We are all in this together, but we all need to follow the rules and do what is right for everyone

The big bad wolf is trying to blow the election down.

Pig was arrested for defacing private property. Wii Inc. decided to make an example of him and prosecuted fully.

Pig is serving his sentence in the pokey….

Why they named a game machine after a tax form, I’ll never understand.

Great sentiment, but highly inaccurate. Millions still believe the dictator wannabe with his “it’s a hoax, not as bad as flu, easy to survive with full free health care, you can beat it like him”.

No, we’re not all in this together. Lockdowns and quarantines only apply to us peasants. The rich and powerful can still do as they please with impunity.

Wiiii -ooh wim-o-weh. Wee-ooh wim-o-wehIn the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight

Well it used to be. Now, it’s “Rat out your neighbor if they remove their mask”!

This sure as hell isn’t a video game, but it is related to the World War 2 warning to “Beware of the ‘Military-Industrial’ complex” which was immediately ignored for it’s wonderful effect on our economy and Big Brother’s Capitalism thumb on citizens.

1000 times LIKE.

and another part continues to take our rights and freedoms away from us based on a lot of inacurate, incomplete, unproven and unsubstantiated ideas and opinions.

Is Wii still a thing?

Thank you, Pig. I am doing my part.

I count any cartoon with less than 300 Likes as a fail for Pastis. He gets 200 Likes for spilling a bottle of ink on the paper.

Awww…

Wii is a thing of the past. Nintendo Switch is where it’s at!

Last night, I lit* the first candle for Hanukkah. The last prayer we say over the candles on the first night is the Shehecheyanu:

Praised are You, Our God, Ruler of the universe, Who has given us life and sustained us and enabled us to reach this season.

Happy Hanukkah everyone! It’s the Reason for the Season.

.

*And by “lit” I mean turned on the first light bulb in the chanukkiah.

Pig Wii, Wii, Wii’d all the way home.

Who still buys wiis?

“We’re all in this together.” Translation: “Do as you’re told!”

Time to switch.

Except we aren’t…

SOME people have the ability to work from home. SOME people have paid sick leave. SOME people have insurance. SOME people have no choices to make.

Hey! Remember Nintendo’s copyright laws. You can’t write that!

Pig did that just for sport. Or the sports game. Whichever.Also, anyone who gets this should know that Mario Kart Wii was the best game of its franchise :)

This little piggy went Wii Wii Wii…

VANDALISM

Unless toilet paper is involved.
