Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 06, 2025

Fastest breaking of a resolution ever.

He needs to work out how to stay in bed!

Reachable goals!

Mañana is good enough for me.

I especially like to work out how to avoid working out.

I am pig.

You can’t ignore the orange pig and his super wealthy overlord.

It’s a “Snooze” Year? !

Regular exercise never killed anybody. On the other hand, why take the risk?

Pig may have the right idea. After all, life’s a marathon, not a sprint. You’ve got to pace yourself if you want to complete the journey.

Only skip the stupid “Work Out” part. Dilly! Dilly!

Now THERE"S a resolution I can get behind! In fact I’m going back to bed after I read the comics.

yes, my resolution too!

Set a goal. Set procedures to meet the goal. Decide how to know when you’ve achieved the goal.

4 inches of snow and snowing hard. Looks like a winner of an idea.

As my mother so brilliantly points out whenever there is plagiarism involved, Mr. Stephan Pastis is “copy, copy”-ing the main point of GARFIELD’S hatred of MONDAYS!!!! Dan aka…ps awesome “callback,” dude!!!!

I hope that goes well

I need to go back to bed.

Pig, have you not heard of taking it one step at a time?

My goal for the new year is to finally start something that’ll make me a household name.

This is not the “do good for others” pig that inspires me

“It’s go time!” His trainer must be Izzy Mandelbaum from Seinfeld.

Although there’s one kind of ‘go time’ you can’t accomplish very satisfactorily in bed.

The revolving desk of gym memberships, start, then cancel

Now that’s a good idea. I’m off work today, it’s been snowing and freezing rain for two days, so going back to bed sounds good.

Pig is my “twin” today, bad cold.

The ghost of coffee future calls out to me….

I work outdoors, so therefore I am working out. Today’s exercise is, it’s 5 degrees and I will be shoveling snow.

I’m trying to work up the willpower to hit the ski machine.

Definitely a lot easier than working out.

It is a first step, next be straight on the sofa, then in your car, continue and soon you’ll be straight everywhere

My cat Colette can go walking any time she wants but prefers to wait and go walking with me in the morning. She also supervises my post-walk leg exercises. I tell you, it makes it a lot easier to keep on my exercise schedule.

Boy I wish I could have stayed in bed today.
