Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 06, 2022

Someone give Pig a hug.

It’s a good thing Pig didn’t say he’s desperate for love. The police might misinterpret it.

Would it help if his sign said “I’m a confidence man”?

That’s being positive Pig! You are positive you are desperate!

All that is highly over rated

Didn’t Jan Brady say something similar?

Someday soon you are going to make a great ham sandwich

Hugs to Pig.

The trick is to be confidentially desperate, Pig.

For a moment me thoughts Pig’s sign said “I’m Desperado”. Yes me eyes not as good as they used to be.

Oh, Pig, if you want all those things nowadays, you’ll have to learn how to disguise yourself as a phone.

You’re BACON!

In this world, people are drawn by cartoonists.

Which is why narcissistic sociopaths are so dangerous.

I’m desperate for recognition.

Rat is right. Unfortunately, the ignorant are usually confident.

It looks like Pig needs a Bible.

Is it better to be confidently desperate or desperately confident? (I apologize for further dividing our already polarized nation)

Pity parties make it worse! Sell your negative stand and go do something!

Everybody complaining on twitter then is desperate including (or especially) the blue checkmarks. Oh, Musk is probably desperate, too.

Actually, there are people who are drawn to those who are desperate. Unfortunately, they tend to be predators.

An improvement for Pig.

Is he behind a pulpit or in a box?

Me too, PIg, me too…

‘Desperado. why don’t you come to your senses?’

I dunno. Rat is as confident as can be, but I don’t have the impression that anyone is “drawn” to him.

Not much of an improvement….

Pig doesn’t quite get it—as usual.

Try being more positive about what you’re confident in, Pig….

Ah, there’s nothing like the classics. Or jokes that have been around so long (in various incarnations) you know the punchline in advance.

PS: Pig, try a sign simply saying “I’m miserable.” All the other miserable people will want to keep you company.

We sure haven’t seen Zebra, or the Crocs, here in a long time. I miss them … hope they’re all OK.
