Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 23, 2022

Oddly useful

Somebody should develop a phone app like that.

HELP! I fell into a pandemic rut and can’t get out.

Help is on its way — a travel agent will book you to an island without social media, cell phone, or WiFi.

More people can use that.

I am one of them.

I could use one that sends out the alert, “Scotty, one to beam up.”

More like a “Get a life alert”

I use my phone to call somebody, and if a live somebody calls me, I answer

There’s Life out there!

Stop leading a phoney life and live for real!

Yay, Pig!

Where can I get one of those??

Message from Life Alert: “Mikey likes it!”

That’s terrific!

I know people who could use one of those.

Good advice!

Time is the most precious thing there is!

Pig is well ahead of time!

Looks like it worked to his advantage. He has the beach to himself while everyone else has their face in their phone.And no parking issues!

Great Idea. I’d like to have a whole box of them as gifts for christmas.

You get extra points for skimming your smartphone across the waves, like in the old Corona commercial.

But I spend all of my phone time reading comics online!

Wow, a sensible answer!!!

Excellent

It worked!

If only I had the means or discipline to live life to the fullest.

Can you get me one, except change “phone” to “laptop”?

Haha, reminds me of my sister in the last picture!

“My ice cream cone has fallen and it can’t get up!”

I expect only two things of a phone: make a call, receive a call. Smartphones are handheld computers with vestigial phone function.

Neither I nor my husband own mobile phones. That comment stops conversation in a room wherever we go.

I want one of those!

Is that really Pig’s dream? Where’s the cheese?

Staples “easy” button

Exuberantly happy face! {8^)

I have been living my life since last Saturday (My brand new phone has broken down)

Go to the beach while the weather is still warm. It will be too cold very soon.

I turned 78 today and can honestly say that I’ve crammed more living a life of joyous adventure into those years than most people can only dream of. I wouldn’t go back and change a thing! I’m really looking forward to the fun and challenges that the next 30 years bring!

There should be an app for that!

Note to those reading this on their phone.

Now you’re making sense.

No, life is not just another app.

Yay! For once he’s following some good advice!

But what about Rat’s reaction to that? Knowing him, he’ll probably pass on getting one of those.

You get lots of lives, do the best you can in this life, if you mess up try to make it right with those you hurt, then move on. You will get lots of chances to do better. God is perfect love, perfect love forgives all.

Sounds like me, except I would be yelling “THE LIGHT IS GREEN! GET OFF YOUR STUPID PHONE AND MOVE.”

I need a chair that says “Get up and do something!” whenever I haven’t moved a muscle (except to turn the page) for 20 minutes.

I’m visualizing a projector to display my phone’s image on the windshield, and a keyboard on the steering wheel. Soon to come out of the Orient….

Is Pig holding an ice cream cone in the last panel? I can’t really tell what that thing is supposed to be.

If Pig only has one life to live, why would he waste part of it by going to the beach?

Exactly what I did. I’m

460 likes, seems a cord was struck.

Best App that I’ve ever seen….

Where is Snoop Dog and the Corona?

One of those alerts should be include with every (overpriced anyway) smartphone sold!

That life alert thing is right; I’m never going to take the time to read PBS again!
