Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 05, 2021

Goat’s sarcasm aside, this is a pretty accurate description of the last year. I never thought it would last this long.

And this since Covid 19 has appeared.

Howzabout this one: There is a light at the end of the tunnel . . . and it’s coming right at you.

Darn it Rat, stop being right!

Why bother hoping for the best? You know it won’t happen.

It’s hard to describe what has never been seen and even more difficult to imagine what has never been conceived and when we think we have seen it all, then life says “hold my beer”

I’m maybe going out on the proverbial limb, but I’m going to venture that Rat is a…a…pessimist !

It took me months to get the vaccine and now they’re saying that it may only last 6 months.

inb4 another wave that the vaccine isn’t effective against comes up

Still waiting for it to disappear, like magic….

Would make for a Great Game of Thrones final season Do-Over, or just about any Avengers all get Together Because Reasons!(and money)

Wow , Rat’s scenario is so rosy compared to the reality to follow!

But I admire his optimism!

This is the worstest.

Rat should become a motivational speaker…

As bad as it’s been, we’re still here.

Too bad. In Florida, we’ve been mostly back to normal since late last summer. My county was one of the last to lift mask mandate, but we are moving on. Glad I live here and not in a Blue state!

They said “smile, it could be worse.” So I smiled, and sure enough, it got worse.

Look on the Bright side it could get worse, said the optimist on November 1, 2021!

Trump said it would be over by Easter…2 Easters later…

13 months in to 15 days to slow the curve.

Hope for the best; expect the worst.

The rich are blessed; the poor are cursed



That is a fact, friends, the deck is stacked, friends



Hope for the best, expect the…

(Even with a good beginning, it’s not certain that you’re winning.

Even with the best of chances, they can kick you in the pantses)



Look out for the… Watch out for the worst!
 Hey!

So well spoken and descriptive.

Rat needs grammar lessons.

I remember watching the Cloverfield sequel thinking how outrageous it would be to actually be locked in your house for months and months. Those movie themes have lost their luster.

If you’re reading this, it means you’re still here, so it could have been worse.

The only bad thing about all of this, is I did not get to work from home much

I started “Expecting a Worster worse then you ever thought possible!” back around Jan. 20, 2017.

But if you hope for the worst you’ll never be disappointed.

Let’s see: 14 months would be March 2020 – May 2021…so we’ll soon be experiencing the best?

Is “worster” pronounced like wurst, or maybe Worcestershire? German Milwaukeeans need to know.

I think I’ll go into the kitchen and prepare a wurst.

Murphy’s Sixth Law: If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.

for me and my family this is the worst month ever, our ooldest son had a heart attack ( he is 38) he will be okay, but STILL!!!

At least now you can buy toilet paper…

Third panel: Rat expresses my philosophy of life, even before COVID.

Alas, our anti-hero Rat is showing signs of Shutdown Psychosis! It’s like PTSD, but more widespread….
