Life’s reply: Where’s the fun in that?

Nothing is beyond Fortune’s power to destroy. Therefore prepare yourself, not for what can be expected to happen, but for everything that can happen.

— Seneca the Younger

another response fromLife… “Hey Pig, get a ME”

So basically, Pig is asking to be a god. Sorry, Pig, but I think the job’s taken.

Maybe Tom Brady could ask opposing teams to run their plans by him first so he won’t be surprised.

What’s with Pig’s head spots?

… or life would you have a season of re-runs where someone has already written a synopsis?

That’s life. What’s life? A magazine. What’s a magazine? 35 cents. I only have 25 cents. That’s life. What’s life…

Where do I sign up?

Good luck with that.

Poor Pig. Horrible surprises perpetuate themselves.

If only Pig, If only! Life is like the mail, sometimes you get a check, other times a bill!

Pig u need to follow elon to the funny farm.

They’re ink spots. He’s messy. He’s a pig. No explanation for the changed ink pattern in the 4th panel tho.

It might be nice but think of all the good things that randomness affords us…..

Let me know if this works, Pig. I’m interested.

If Pig knows what is going to happen beforehand, it’s no longer a surprise. There can be some good surprises.

Sorry Pig. Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.

I agree that the unpleasant surprises outweigh the pleasant ones

The rest of us would be at the mercy of Pig’s judgments. The mind boggles.

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t always like. Lemony Snicket

I trust he won’t approve of the plan to turn him into bacon

Days like this when I really wish for one day of peace and quiet.

I want to be on his committee.

The Bible says that we will have trouble all of our days. Nailed it!

It’s keeping a list and checking in with Pig, twice before unleashing

Yes Karen…..

Life is what happens while you’re making plans.

or – Man plans, God laughs.

Pig’s not wrong!

Yeah, that would be nice.

Where does one send a letter to life?

Life’s Experiences = 99% Horrible and 1% Great. Don’t worry, be happy. The worse, your mate dies.

As our friend Reacher likes to say" Hope for the best, prepare for the worst".

Elon Musk has changed his name to “The Lemon Drop Kid”.

You’ll find him at the corner of Michigan and State,ringing hisl ittle bell.

Don’t think you’re the first person to ask that, Pig.

Wistful try, Pig, but that is not the way Life works. Take it as it comes and be grateful as long as you can.

Then, bacon!

After reading this one, I just wanna give Pig a hug.
