Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 11, 2022

Is that one of Queen Elizabeth ll’s relatives? Maybe William, Prince of Wales?

So pigs can fly after all. I’ll make a note of that.

After panel 3, I’d have expected Pig’s last words to be, “OH GAWD, WHAT HAVE I DOOONNNE . . .”

I like your heart Noteman! and cool Ticonderoga pencil as well!

Not tells me he was bitten by a radioactive notebook’s paper cut.

Here’s a note for you note man. Remember today. Never forget.

With certain relatives, the note will read, “They’re gone now. Breathe easier.”

What’s that on the side table by the photo? It looks like a Q-tip and a jumbo ladybug.

Pig really is a superhero today.

I interpret this strip as a reference to 9/11. The now-bald man lost his wife in the terrorist attacks of 21 years ago. Hence, the red rose in front of her photo.

Thank you, Noteman! Sincerely, the bereaved.

We all could use a Noteman once in a while…

Great strip today. Rather odd looking mountain, though. Kind of looks like one of the spires at Bryce Canyon.

Good one Pastis, thank you!

Very puzzling. So remote. What cry? Is it a reference? Someone will explain this one I hope.

When pigs can fly…

We need more heroes like Noteman.

Noteman is such a pure soul.

This was a sweet one today.

Could be for The Queen, or a victim of 9/11…

She had a good run…

Memories are comforting….only a written sympathy card would have been better…a post-it note… Seriously, PIG?

Every so often, Pastis shows how insightful and sweet he can be.

Besides making people feel good, Noteman’s other super power is to be able to slam postit notes on the insides of windows without raising them!

Thank you, Mr. Pastis.

Noteman is cool; we need more Notemans(Notemans?)

Thanks note man….

Wow. This strip is a bit of vicious on a daily basis, punctuated by the occasional strip that melts your heart. This world would be a much better place if we had more Pigs.

Thank you noteman.

Pastis Post-its® …?

This strip puts me to mind of what I have become convinced is the beautiful love song of the last 50 years, if not forever:

That note probably helped him in more ways than you could even fathom. Way to go……

I wonder what Rat would think of this?

How soon before variations on this, with “She’ll Always Be Right There In Your Heart” replaced with pretty much anything somebody thinks needs to be “noted” to the entire Internet community, appear on Facebook and Instagram?

What a beautiful thought to help lighten the sorrow. We miss you QEII.

royally cool

I sense a personal loss behind this.

The superhero we really need

REMINDER: Lock my doors.

This strip comes one day after the one year anniversary of my late wife’s passing.

Quite appropriate, I believe.

As do we all, Noteman. As do we all. Except for Rat, of course.

Our hearts are full❤️

Thank you, Noteman!

Just in time for the whole English nation

That was a fast turnaround! Did Pastis have this one waiting in the holster with instructions to run it the first Sunday after she died?

Pig does have a loving heart.

21 years ago, today 2,997 such notes were needed.

Pig takes the place of grandmothers.

The world could use this kind of superhero right about now. Not in a movie…in real life.

Very nice of you, Pig.

Very Sweet ♥♥

I wonder if Noteman could the the fourth member of the Croc’s Fantastic ‘Four’ from years back.

One year ago today my mother died. It’s been a dreary, rainy, teary day. Thanks, Noteman, for relaying the message.

This is so sweet, Stephan. ❤️

That is a rose.

Nice try, Noteman! But sometimes, some situations, no note helps….

It’s the little things that count. Especially when accompanied by cool comic-book-style sound effects!

lovely

It’s a ’9-11" reference.And a good one.

If you don’t love Pig, you have a hard heart.

THATS SO BEAUTIFUL. SNIFF SNIFF

Noteman is a true hero.
