Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 08, 2022

Start slowly, like spelling your own name.

Just figuring out 8 times 7 could give that pig a hernia.

Brain strain Pig!

I just fall asleep.

Walk it off pig, I’ve done it more than a few times

You are already the brightest lighthouse on the beach Pig so don’t worry.

I’ve done that yawning.

If you need an app for that, it’s already too late.

Don’t try to do too much at once, Pig. Ease yourself into it by doing the absolute minimum at first. My students followed that system, and they certainly never strained their brains.

He should try placebo. Mayim Bialik will sell you some. She’s a neuroscientist, even though she never actually practiced it.

I’m so confused.

On the other hand Pig can answer questions like ‘What is the purpose of life’ easily. He’s one of them ‘pig picture’ peope.Pun intended.

Don’t overdo it Pig!

Me keeps me mind sharp by reading comics and making intelliGent coGent and unBearably PunGent comments on em. Works better than any app. Hee hee.

IntelliPig®

Depending on what he pulled, maybe he should’ve of been in a closet

My brain keeps telling me I’m 18, my body keeps telling me I’m over 100.

Eating ice cream too fast does that, too.

I thought pigs were super intelligent creatures.

Quick! Eat a big bowl of ice cream and the brain freeze will soothe your brain pull!

Thinking is hard; perhaps this is why so few people choose to do it.

I taught my kids their multiplications by musical ditties! They remembered them. Have to make it fun!

Pig is a genetic mystery. He has no natural advantages. He is both physically and mentally weak, he is untalented, unmotivated, and indecisive. He is so well fit for the modern world its scary.

He strained a 1/2 rack of ribs.

Too much thinking is dangerous to your health, Pig.

Who needs apps? Go out and play some chess! I highly recommend it.

‘ Brain Sprain’ is a real thing! Still recovering from mine – was advised not to use it for a while.

Maybe the App has a virus, Pig. Stay the he ll away from it!

Pulled pork?

LMAO!!! I got my grandson some Highlights for Children booklets with ‘hidden pictures’ and I’ll be darned if I find all of them on any page….. Hes much quicker. It aint keeping brain sharp for sure

Uh-huh. Face it, PIg. Silly exercises are not going help in your case….

Rat: Thank you, Pig. I am now inspired beyond all capacity for cognitive discourse.
