Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 07, 2024

Pig’s father and grandfather can’t have failed at everything, or Pig wouldn’t have been born.

Seceding generations would pretend that they don’t know you.

If they failed at everything, they’ve achieved perfection (sorta)

Each generation has sucked so they are still succeeding?

Your grandpa and dad both made great ham steaks and bacon! You should be proud

Shouldn’t it be successive generations? Which would wipe out the joke of course. I’ll get my coat.

maybe any of your brothers?

So if not “succeeding” how about “REceding”?

So far Pig no has no little piggies. So, so far Pig is fail in what they was succeeding in.

Succeeding generations means being able to reproduce before they produce…. ham and bacon!

I saw one of Pig’s relatives rolling over on the grille at the 7-Eleven, very successfully I would think!

Lineage succession is like an heirloom. It’s bound to blossom.

It looks like a whole other universe up them nostrils

Succeeding generations of failures successfully succeeded at failure.

Well, you’re not ham or bacon yet. Or pork chops. Enjoy the day.

Suceeded at failure

A perfect example of Nepotism, just like Pop and our family business.

Pig doesn’t want any sympathy.

Life’s a beech, then you become bacon.

Hunter Biden is a Pig.

If nothing else, Pig’s carrying on the family legacy.

He’s a bachelor, descended from a long line of bachelors.

I tried growing flowers but I suc at ceeding,

Paris & Pig should now do the “Who’s on first” routine!

Your Grandfather reproduced … Your Father reproduced … Would not call that a failure ;-)

“We never failed to fail, it’s the easiest thing to do.”

Luckily, Pig’s Dad and Granddad failed to make the cut.

Once again, Pastis has Succeeded with his subtly

Now the question is whether their failure was due to nature or nurture.

Maybe you should try seceding from your family.

Pig, you’re successful so far.

You are not bacon …

yet.

it’s okay Pig… generally, you succeed at making us laugh!

Love it!

YEP!

Thank you Goat. Some of us like words and use the various definitions. I got labeled racist because I once used the word ‘segregate’ in a work lunchroom. I was talking about food, ingredients.

If succeeding at reproduction is good enough for Darwin, it’s good enough for me.

Look it up, Pig.
