Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 05, 2020

Go out and have fun! You can take precautions and still enjoy life.

It’s true. So often these days we laugh lest we cry.

Am I the only one who hears Prince singing “1999” right now?

Eventually, Pig will get thirsty, and then the cycle will start back up again

variety: ’tis the spice of life

“Celebrate, celebrate

Dance to the music!"

Note: No mention of dancing WITH someone…

For a second there I thought it said celibate.

There’s always a silver lining. Although in this case it might be made of lead.

Celebrate that we don’t live in the world 100 years from now!

LOL! Sounds like a good enough reason to me!

Yay. Celebration. Bring the pork. Prepare the ham. Get the bacon!

Pig is my hero.

From “The Tubes” … What do you Want From Life … A baby’s arm holding an apple … Croc Power !

“I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me” Old song!

You’re a good pig, Pig.

This strip has become seriously depressing:(

I feel so bad for Pig.

Funny how few wives accept that explanation when they catch their husbands with another woman.

He [Abraham Lincoln] said that he felt “like the boy that stumped his toe,—‘it hurt too bad to laugh, and he was too big to cry.’”

I have to agree : D

I’m too disgusted to cry.

Life, existence, the universe, and everything?

Awkward – premature celebration (Taco Tuesday is not until tomorrow).

I’m with Pig on this.

Okay, Cartoon Boy, we get it, you think 2020 has been a terrible year. But I think it has been a great year! My sister got married to the man of her dreams, I got married to the woman of my dreams, and my wife and I are expecting a baby next year. So in my book, 2020 has been a wonderful year!

Congratulations on all three points — and may this be the first year of many, many, many more.

So is Billboard.

I wonder if he’ll revert to humor after the election?

as someone who is in the age-group where family and neighbors are passing away, please don’t wait to celebrate. Of course do what you can to mitigate risk, but go out and enjoy life.

I celebrate every day I am still working and still healthy!

Yawn…

I agree, Pig. Get on with living life!

Laugh, clown, laugh.

People with the mindset of these characters need to read some history. In the grand scheme of human, political, and medical history, things aren’t that bad right now, and our ancestors would trade with us in a heartbeat.

I’m celebrating because I know it could always be worse.

Apparently, time for a motorcade!

During these days, celebrate the little things whenever you can. Right now, I am celebrating you, Stephan!

The improbable instructional team of Rat and Pig are teaching Goat an important lesson or two….
