Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 16, 2023

Does this mean that the astronauts forgot to take their luggage?

I had it all together but then I forgot where I put it!

Unless you’re an Egyptian pharaoh, then you take it all with you.

As my late uncle once told me, no one ever got out of this world alive.

Life is cruel, unfair, and certainly NOT empathetic. I’m a realist…

You enter the world with amniotic fluid, but they don’t let you keep that.

Life is hell, and then you die!!

Earth is where you keep you stuff …

even if you leave.

From dirt you came and to dirt you return.

If I can’t take it with me, I’m not going to go.

My co-worker told me “You solo in, and you solo out”!

Maybe if you guys wore clothes or something.

Reminds me of this Far Side cartoon of someone who does manage to take it with him. Couldn’t find a better link than this Pinterest.

Money should be printed on asbestos. Then I could take it with me when I die.

I started out with nothing and still have most of it left

Because we don’t die like Pharaohs anymore.

It’s a Bittersweet Symphony, this li-ife….

hey, you can’t take it with but make sure no one else gets either. f em

If you make it to the right destination (after you leave this world), none of those things (you left behind) will matter to you.

Even while here, you can’t have everything. Where would you put it?

I’m leaving with lots of fat

You can’t take it with you when you go.

It’s just … there. Wherever that is.

The older I get, the more I forget and I won’t miss it once I’m gone.

Stuff doesn’t matter to you at this point….but your relatives….

No one gets out of here alive, everyone is dying to get out of here. We hope we are going to a better place. We’ll all know someday. :-)

I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

“What have you lost? – Nothing!”

Ginger Tootsie Life: Dominatrix is cruel as well…

You can’t take it with you….Then again you won’t need it.

Does that mean that GoComix forgot the grid display?

Not EVERYBODY has Alzheimer’s when they die.

HA! My TBI left me with a DREADFUL memory, but that’s what Post It Notes are for!

Huh, never thought of it like that.

That’s me with my tools. I can be working on something, need a different wrench, spend 10 minutes looking for it, only to realize it was on a different shelf. Same with my phone.

Is that why people are dying to get out of here?

Well, I did have this tied tube attached to my belly. But Orientals were only interested in my foreskin.

Good one.

Congrats, Rat! Pig is deflated, maybe depressed. C’est la vie….

Sweet mystery of life, Rat is thy prophet

These are not comics from Charles Schultz. Who ever is writing these should find a new job. They stink!

Death, the great equalizer. We can die so quickly that not remembering where we put everything won’t matter much…except our last will and testament. :)
