Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 24, 2021

Irregardless of what Rat says, you make sense, Pig.

Intelligent people ignore.

Does it ever occur to Pig that it would be more practical to wear his message on a T-shirt than to stand behind a box all day?

I could care less, but I don’t see how.

It depends on what message pig is trying to convey. Maybe he does care.

well done, Rat

I could care less, but it will cost you.

I could care less about this particular strip. But it would take more effort than it’s worth to do that…

“I don’t care, 2 you?” How Melania teaches.

Hey Rat! Go back under the bridge you troll!

I SHOULD ONLY CARE LESS WHAT RAT THINKS

Rat has an irony deficiency.

Rat as the voice of reason, will wonders ever cease?

For once I agree with Rat,

I COULD care less, but I choose not to;)

Rat as the grammar police, will he be wearing a helmet and spandex biking short soon?

Is it Winston tastes good like a cigarette should, or AS a cigarette should? An English teachers debate in high school? Long ago! I have not smoked since 1983 BTW!

Pastis must be reading the T-Shirt ads on GoComics !

THANK YOU RAT FOR POINTING THIS OUT!!!

Caring is painful.

All he did was correct your grammar.

PIG is right! He still cares!

I couldn’t care less, but I could care more?

Dilligaf…rat.

George Carlin : Some words are fun. Words like “flammable”… “flammable”, “inflammable” and “nonflammable”. Why are there three? Does it seem to you as though two words ought to be able to handle that idea? I mean, either the thing flams or it doesn’t flam.

Oh, so much this! Drives me nuts when people don’t think through what they’re saying.

No matter the expression, it makes sense to me.

Well, he could care more what other people think too.

With Pig, it is almost never a misspeak or a typo.

Well, I could care less… just not much less.

Never regret that you care……

In Sarcastic, this is proper usage. I speak fluent Sarcastic.

Just like bumper stickers and T shirts, if you don’t care what people think you wouldn’t bother plastering the message everywhere.

This strip is kind of pun strip, but not really

Well, Pig is just too naiive.

I could of cared less.

If I could care less, no one would know that I did care less, because I wouldn’t care enough to talk about it. Some one should tell Pastis about printed T-shirts. Wearing your message is much easier than dragging around big boxes w/signs.

Irregardless… being a grammar corrector is a tough road to hoe…

If you could care less then clearly you care more. But more than what?

People misuse this saying all the time. And Pig, you didn’t have to change the sign and it would have nearly the same meaning.

That was careless.

But would it count in a game of Scrabble?

I could care less, but I’m an under achiever.

That’s why Social Distancing is so wonderful and I’m going to miss it.

A victim of the Oxford Apostrophe…

I couldn’t care less what Rat thinks, more or less.

I know Pig. I feel the same way and it stops me from doing what I know I have to do.

Sometimes it takes some effort to not be able to care less about what someone else thinks.

you should care

So Rat was wrong because Pig’s sign says that he does care.

AAAAwwww

Well, I could care less, but I don’t.

Товарищи, как у вас сегодня дела? Tysm google translate. (It translates into ‘Comrades, how are you today?’)

Saying that you couldn’t care less is oxymoronic. If you’re bothering to say it, you care.

It’s true, Rat. Pig’s English is not so good.

But he has multitudes of company. So who really cares (other than we, the Few, the Proud, the Grammar Police)?

An old coworker had the perfect response to someone saying, “I could care less”…“I could agree with you more”.

If he Couldn’t care less there would be no point in making a sign

LMAO

Redoubtable should mean “capable of being doubted a second time”… but it doesn’t.

I think when I was a little kid, I heard people say “I could care less” and thought “Huh?”
