Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 17, 2022

This is why so many dwell on the past.

that is a good start at least…

Pig, enjoy your moments…tomorrow you might be somebodies bacon

Pig’s new tiny home. Awesome subterranean rooms.

It’ll pass in a moment

The motto of my design firm is “More Beautiful Moments”.

He’s also putting “all” of his troubles in a box.

You are in the moment now, but you can’t stay there. It’s already passed into the past. You can never seize the moment. It’s always gone. ;-P

Like work.

It’s like time is one of my relatives.

The anticipation of some event is usually better than the actual event

The sad thing about living in that moment, is that in another moment it is in the past.

And his moment is being in that box.

It’s those FLEETING moments you have to watch out for! They’ll get you every time!

Yeah, the moment is kinda boring.

Back in the day, my hippie cousin had a Volkswagen camper van named “The Moment”. There was never a dull moment in that!

Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans – Lennon

A momentous occasion carries momentum but dwelling in the moment in your dwelling makes you a couch potato.

Well, autocorrect could have changed it to “MOVEMENT.”

The only trouble with living in the present is the bills for it will come in the future.

The past and the future are larger.

Now, just a moment—

You can live in the moment. But the moment the credit card bills come due, you’ll be living in the past.

More of Pig being literal. But this time, he may have learned something.

I feel like I’m living in the Larry, Curly and Mo-ment

What can one say? You are correct, Sir Pig!

Yes. Yes, they are.

I need a box called “Denial.”
