Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 28, 2021

No such button for bad days and no need for them on good days.

I think Bill Murray would disagree with you, Rat.

Bad days are a feature, not a bug.

Can I get a reset on my life? No? Rats.

See, one of the REASONS it’s a bad day is that they didn’t install the reset button.

The Reset Button takes you back to Monday.

Well Pig could just decide to do a morning bender or a wake and bake too re-boot the day. A lot of people stuck in their houses because of the pandemic are giving these options a try, some even when they have to go online for a Zoom office meeting as Pastis has shown us with the looks of some of the characters on the Brady Bunch meeting screens he has drawn over the past year!

Reset requires a combination of three buttons, which is top secret.

Don’t press the reset button on your bed if you have memory foam! You’ll wake up as an amnesiac.

It is. Complain to the manufacturer.

Good thing there isn’t, we’d be swimming in multiverses now.

Adapt , Overcome, Survive …Croc Power !

Pig is a bed bug.

Turn it off and on again, then.

Nothing went right all day? I thought Rat would recommend beer as a solution.

So what is the snooze button for then?

“If I could only go back” or “If I knew then what I know now” !

“The sun will come up tomorrow…”

Some would say it’s a “feature”.

Just another point against the ID crowd.

Please refer to the children’s book, “Benny the bear’s bad day”

Get yourself that Staples “Easy” button.

Poor PIG! Can’t handle life’s curves!

Each time I’ve pressed reset, I find that I arrive back at the same spot. Maybe I’m living the most wonderful life I’ve been blessed with. Damn, how cruel.

Not a design flaw and don’t call me Shirley.

I don’t want the old day back to try again.

I’ll take my chances with a new day.

Had a friend who would just cancel the day and skip to the next

If only the world had a reset button. I’ve looked into that. It’s a scientific impossibility.

Third panel: thank goodness there is no button to cause a bad day. And who would push it if there was?

Just make sure that the button says “reset” and not “overcharge”

Just don’t push the re-doo-doo button.

Debbie Downer, meet Stephen Sadness.

Don’t we all wish there were a reset button?

“Intelligent Design” my ass.

Every moment holds the opportunity to choose every emotion and every response. We choose

Alas, Pig, Time marches on, and nothing you do can stop it. No reset button, nothing.

You must grapple with the day, Pig. Cope! Cope!

People often wish they could go back in time and fix all their mistakes. That wouldn’t work! After making one change, you’d be on a different path, face new situations, and make all new mistakes. (Today’s Profound Thought from R the D, aka El-Rog-o. You’re welcome!)

Don’t call me Shirley!

God is alive and well, but working on a much less ambitious project.
