Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 30, 2020

Pig is catching on.

“MELONS!”

Rat is stealing Gallagher’s act.

Rat, I think it’s the other way around, 2020 is crushing us all.

for once, Pig finally agrees with Goat on Rat’s shenanigan

Notice of Summons.

Rat, you are being sued for copyright infringement.

Signed, Gallagher

I can’t wait for 2021 :(

I’ll bet that was humble pie! Was that Jef’s Mallett he’s using?

I see all kinds of sorrow/Wish I only loved one/Look out, here comes tomorrow/Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come!

Rat, what do you even do all day? WHAT plans? (Not that I’m much better.)

Rat, you are my spirit cynic.

It’s not the fault of 2020, Rat. It’s the Red Dragon’s.

Rat please clean up the mess when you are done with your little show ;-) … Croc Power !

My mother wished for this year to be great on New Years. She sure jinxed, big time.

For some, that vase was shattered years ago.

What a waste of a perfectly good pie.

Poor, innocent Pie!

We need crocs more than ever

This reminds me of Gallagher smashing melons….Rats on a rampage….where’s my raincoat….

Can we have a do-over for 2020??

And then comes smashing pumpkins.

I see a scene from ‘Back To The Future’ where Doc tells Marty “Never set this thing to 2020.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53218704A new flu virus, with pandemic potential, has just been found in pigs in China. Sound familiar? For those hoping 2021 will be better, don’t pop the champagne corks too soon.

Ming vase?

Pig one step ahead? 2020 is getting wierd.

Last panel another example of Pig actually getting smarter as the strip goes on.

Gallager!!!

Soupy Sales could have put that pie to better use!

Getting a little tired of seeing this strip complain about how bad this year is. What about 1929 – 1945 or 1860 – 1865? The list goes on.

As I always say: “Today Is the Tomorrow You Worried About Yesterday … And Now You Know Why!”

What about having a life, rat?

Buy ’em books, send ’em to school, they come back and tell you "pi R ^2, idiot!! Any fool knows pie R Round, Cornbread R square.

Rat is fixated on the Bad Year 2020. But Goat and Pig are wise to leave before splinters of the ill-fated vase can do them harm as Rat works out his frustration….

Goat looks a little pie eyed.

This would have a bit more credibility if he didn’t express the same feelings it 2019…and 2018….

How many months long was June anyway?

I can hardly wait for July…

Gallagher’s performances encouraged the front row to bring cover ups. He encouraged me not to watch Gallagher.

Let’s just hope the 2020s is more like the Roaring 20s and not the Viral 20s.

Very accurate analogy.

I saw this on Facebook, it gave me a wry laugh. “When people were asked in 2015, what do you think you will be doing in five years time? Nobody got it right.”

well 2020 is year of the rat

Gee Rat, sorry about how the events of 2020 have smashed your plans, hopes and dreams for the future. But until you recognize and accept the inherent flaws within them, 2021 won’t be any better for you.

He doesn’t seem to be broken up.

Pig and Goat need a new third.

There have been centuries so much worse that people would have, rightly, sacrificed all for any chance of escape.

It’s healthy to let your frustrations out. Hence 2020.

The big problem with 2020 is that 2021 may not be any better.
