Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 03, 2023

I’ve stopped watching the news.

Panel 3: Did Chevy Chase get a job as an actual TV newsman?

Are things getting that much worse are we just being shown more?

This is one reason I stopped watching TV 35 years ago.

Is this the news station that people in Mar-a-Lago watch?

Best part is it allowed Pig to snag a brewski!!

The rest of the news this year will be about Trump indictments, which is itself an indictment of the news media.

Pig doesn’t want to fall off his happiness pillow.

Yeah, you gotta love ‘modern’ journalism.

Just skip the news all together and have several beers

Using that extra time wisely, I see…

“Good night Chet, Good night David”, and that’s the News! Remember?!

Even more of a time saver: don’t turn on the TV in the first place.

If they skip ahead to the closing line, then that means they are fully aware that we are all doomed.

“Things are never so bad that they can’t get worse.” A book title that I saw in the library.

Well, it did get them to beers more efficiently…

Bartender, another round!

Good Night and God Bless!

why watch the news at all. here. something happened somewhere, there was an accident, somebody got shot , a team won a game and the weather will be on 3 mores times. thanks and good night

Reasons I’ve never signed up for the “5 things you need to know” from CNN in spite of them throwing that giant banner across the browser every time i’m there.

What is this “NEWS” of which you speak?

I haven’t watched the news in over 10 years. I’m afraid I would throw a brick through my television. Also I refuse to pay for cable tv and pay for the crap they air along with their ads. Digital antenna works great.

No!  Don’t say “How much worse can it get?”  They’ll just take that as a challenge!

I can’t listen or watch news any more! I read it..less traumatic.

“How much worse can things get?”

Is that a reference to the events or the news presentation?

“I’m not wearing any pants…Film at eleven!”

“The popcorn you are eating has just been in…Film at eleven!”

Enough time for one more beer.

And now for 20 minutes of commercials.

I’ll stick with “And that’s the way it is,folks”

I can still hear Jane Curtin closing “Weekend Update” with that line.

I love this strip, but it sure keeps going back to this same well a lot.

Yellow news, anchored by I.P. Freely, on the Scat Network.

I don’t know which is worse, the news or the number of people here that brag about not watching the news.

The old TVs with the multitude of tubes used to keep the room a little warmer!

Even better Time Saver: no news is good news….
