Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 24, 2016

Every day should be waffle day!.The other waffle day is March 25, celebrated in Sweden.

Don’t just stand there! Run to the closest waffle house and get one loaded with strawberries and cream. It’s the respectful thing to do on Waffle Day.

Waffle? I’m more into pancakes.

It’s kind of a shame there are no U.S. federal holidays in August.

When you’re a politician, every day is waffle day.

August 13th is International Left-Handers Day and was before the trend even stared. Of course only lefties like me really care about that.

I hope at least one of those days coincides with Maple Syrup Day! It would be not be as sappy if not.Of course, it might be overlapped by Whipped Cream Commemoration Day. That’d be o.k.

We need bacon or sausage to be added to waffle day………

I’m a crepe person myself.

Anyone else remember those old commercials for Aunt Jemima frozen waffles with Wallace the Waffle Whiffer? And of course “Leggo my Eggo”.

It is not Waffle Day…It is " Send a Million Dollars to Me Day "

At least he didn’t try to take Sept 19: International Talk Like A Pirate day.

I agree Rat. Only in America, but I do love waffles

I’m so thankful there are national and international days celebrating everyday things. I’d never know on what days I should eat specific foods or glorify the mundane!

Does Donkey from Shrek know about this?

More crocs, please.

its actually (quite rightfully) also Kobe Bryant Day in LA

Waffle day huh? What a name.

Thus the much lesser known, Heathcliff Lawrence.

August 24 is Pluto demotion day!

French toast!

That’s nothing. For some of us it’s National Buy Yourself a Treat Day — every single day of the year!

I wonder if Rat celebrates Nov. 12 – Fancy Rat and Mouse Day

There’s also a national donut day. Good luck with that, rat.

I will take 2

Hey folks, do the authors actually read the comments here?

sometimes – depends on the comic

Today’s background music: “Waffle King” by Weird Al Yankovic.

I can think of a meaningful day.

14th June – World Blood Donor Day.

WHY did Goat and Pig swap places??

Politicians will do anything to avoid honest work: they are allergic to both words.So, drawing up a proclamation for National (or State, or Municipal) Something-or-other Day is much more comfortable.Happy Waffle Day! (Though like NeedaChuckle I prefer crepes.)

There already is a National Nothing Day – January 16. However, this caused a controversy once as a McDonald’s in Memphis gave out calendars that marked 1/16 as National Nothing Day…when it was a Monday, which also made it the MLK holiday, and a number of people considered it intentional and racist.

I just read an entry on Wikipedia that indicates it isn’t necessary for the President to issue a proclamation for something to receive national observance status, but that Congress merely asking the President can assure it a place in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Rat & Frazz don’t like me: This is my birthday! :(

Rat, someone already beat you to it. Jan 16 is what you just described.

Hm. Looks like it’s National Love People Day. Also National Chewing Gum Day, International Podcast Day, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Day. That will make for a bizarre parade!
