Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 24, 2025

With one big exception: Nobody is looking forward to it ending.

The wise one has patience, because he has the only comfy chair, so guests don’t stay long.

But everyone IS here by choice, otherwise there would have been a lot more Suicides…which would be BAD!

The wise one is supposed to be a jacka$$, but he has a Pig type nose!

The horror…

I’ll be the guy at the office party who drinks too much and gets called into HR the next day for indiscretions.

I have been to some great office Christmas parties…

About the wisest thing I’ve seen the wise aƨƨ say.

Welcome to the Hotel California. “We are all just prisoners here of our own device”

No decent presents, lousy food and drink, boring company. I think Pig’s onto something.

Office Christmas party? Just say No. Nobody ever found a way to “force” me to attend anything in my own time.

stay out of the closets

Great Dumb A*s, I think…

And there’s never enough booze in the punch.

Oh great wise as$, why can Stephan Pastis use the uncensored version of the word “as$” in Pearls Before Swine, but we lowly readers cannot do the same in the comments section of GoComics? Seems a bit hypocritical to me…

One of the best episodes of Mad Men was when they had to throw a Christmas party because that’s what the client wanted.

More like a Halloween Party on some days….

Sounds like Camel Harris’s victory party.
