Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 02, 2025

There are a lot of people who should make that resolution.

Well, I do my own stunts…just not on purpose!

This is why Pig is my spirit animal.

Does Pig mean that he resolves to do “a whole lot of stupid things”? Or does he mean that if he did that, it would still wind up being fewer stupid things than he usually does? Or does he actually mean “Do fewer stupid things” (which isn’t what doing “a whole lot of stupid things” means)?

“Then again, maybe this whole resolutions thing is stupid. Cool, I won’t make any resolutions. Done!”

Just like last year!

I notice that he didn’t write “do fewer stupid things”. He plans on doing the same stupid things, only less often.

My resolution is to focus on me. That’s not being greedy, is it? I mean, I’ve already spent 3/4ths of last year giving away what money I had to keep my friend, his wife and 2 kids from the misery of homelessness. Not once has he made any effort to pay me back. We’re talking thousands of dollars. All this because no one would help out; not even the charitable non-profit organizations or those providing any social assistance.

I have plans for my life. I want to go back to college after a first try 20-some years ago. I want to start a business, instead of working for one.

Why are you telling that to Less? :D

That’s Dopey Joe Biden’s, too. Oops… too late.

I disolve…

The tires on my car make new year’s revolutions.

Less?

Hold my beer and watch this…….

Good resolution, Pig.

Like most of us, he’ll never live up to it.

Something tells me that that sentence needs to be reworded.

No, Pig, I’m sorry, but you don’t. It’s why we love you.

My resolution is always the same thing: 1) Drink more beer and 2) Eat more donuts.

Either way, I am happy

One resolution anyway, Pig.

Too late. Should’a made it last November.

At least he recognizes that he’s doing stupid things. That’s half the battle

A good thought for us all.

Finally! A resolution we all can keep.

I resolve to stop posting comme…

The trick is figuring out what is stupid.

huh, din’t notice before, has pig always had the prominent black spot on his forehead? tnx in adv

Good luck to all of us on that.

an’ maybe get ahold of a pen that doesn’t leak all over your head??

Wise words for all of us…..

Work on your syntax for a start.

Now I just have to determine which are the more / less stupid things …

That reminds me of the way I used to write. But now I write so much gooder.

I’ll give it my best shot…but somehow stupid seems to follow me…

It’s not so much a resolution with me as an ongoing project; finding new stupid things to do.

Ditto for all of us, we have a lot to figure out.
