Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 05, 2020

What responsibilities does Pig have?

Happiness IS

A pig-in-a-blanket.

So that’s what it’s like to be in Hog Heaven.

I had to get up early this morning to take out the garbage. Not much other advantage. GoComics hadn’t even put up today’s comic yet.

Pluzzez win…zzzzzzzzzzz

Pig in a blanket.

One plus he forgot – you get to go to the bathroom.

+ Bed stays nice and dry

+ Breakfast!

Pluses: The cats will stop clawing at my face after I feed them. I think that’s about it.

Pig missed a minus that comes after that last one, You get blamed for things you’re not responsible for.

another minus or two would be not being able to get nourishment or even a trip to the toilet… he’ll have to get out of bed sooner or later (hopefully not a LONG “later”)

(nice to see y’all seeing my comments again)

The voice of a generation

Hey, at least he woke up , right?!!! OK, maybe NOT SO MUCH these days….

OK, Pig..you talked me into it..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If it were only that simple…

Cheese!

I wish I could go back to sleep like that.

Everybody does that last panel from time to time ;-) … Croc Power !

Plusses: Toilet, TV, Treats.

Pig is officially clinically depressed.

Sleeping and breathing — the 2 activities that must be interrupted to be enjoyed.

Yeah! Me too! Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Pig doesn’t even have the added incentive of BACON for breakfast to get him out of bed, either. . . .

My granddaughter peeled me out of bed this morning to play with her. I’d consider that a plus.

Got up early for the first day of state parks opening. Checked the forecast to find the weather is worse than yesterday’s forecast.

Pig has a lot on his mind.

I NEED to have this strip on a coffee cup. Unfortunately, looks like all I can buy from here are prints.

Oooooh, I know that feeling! Zzzzz

My thoughts exactly, whatever needs to be done can wait till mañana.

I’m with you, Pig.

I had insomnia last night so I’m with you, Pig. Every morning, I trade wellness checks via email with an elderly cousin so I can’t really sleep in. This morning, I cut on my computer, replied to her email, then went back to bed for an hour. Didn’t go back to sleep, but it was a pleasantly lazy thing to do.

Plusses

BREAKFAST NOT MADE BY RAT

Able to have Breakfast period

LUNCH NOT MADE BY RAT

Able to have Lunch period

SUPPER NOT MADE BY RAT

Able to have Supper period

Able to use the bathroom

Don’t have to sleep in a wet bed

Box ‘o Happiness outdoors

Don’t have to worry about nightmares ruining a good sleep

No TV in bedroom so can watch TV if get out of bed

Don’t have to put up with Rat dancing all over bed as I sleep

-——

-——

Personally, the plusses outweigh the minuses when their food not being made by Rat. Especially as he would need someone to bring him his meals in bed and RAT WON’T DO IT!

That is me every morning of my life.

Let me lay here for another hour and think it over.

he looks cumfy

…Mom telling me to do my chores…

He makes me happy.

You’re absolutely right, Pig. —Just remember to turn off your phone, or take it off the hook (depending on your state of technology), because it is guaranteed otherwise to ring repeatedly while you try to sleep!

It could be possible to see Pig as an embodiment of a part of us that should be embraced like all the other zen things. Oh right the crocs. Don’t nag at Pig.. give him a little hug .

im with you pig
