Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 10, 2023

It’s actually an antiseptic, but don’t ruin his fun.

well, you could also just stay off the internet…

Does it have a blinding effect?

Pig’s favorite brand: cheese whiz.

Is it a spray-on blindfold?

Laughing gas? There are health problems with that.

See no bad news, hear no bad news…

… eat cheese.

I wonder if this “bad news repellant” disables access to all the various news sources when sprayed on computers, TVs and radios.;-D

Where can I buy this incredible product!?

And the results of the vote are in———the ayes have it.

If ever there was a product that really should be dispersed via the jet plane contrails. It might just settle the conspiracy theorists down.

It does affect you Pig, but some things you can’t do anything about… there is some saying abott that.

It’s called huffing

Sniffing the nitrous oxide from the whipped cream cans!

Not to rain on the thought parade, but if we turn a blind eye, “they” get their way.

Turn off all media sources. Ignorance is bliss, Pig.

Try that on Rat.

Does it come in an orange tint?

I just read the comics every morning, not the news. It works quite well.

geez…whine much?

I know what goes on. My solution: I don’t care, hence why I don’t watch the news.

Ubik.

Must be lovely to be so privileged that the terrible things in the world don’t affect YOU, so they don’t matter.

Limit the amount of News you watch.

So, if we don’t watch or listen to bad news, it won’t exist? Spread the news!

Eat chocolate

As long as everyone and Pig is responsible for their own actions…..

He squirted it into his eyes, Pig can’t see anything.

Apparently, it does.

one should be aware but not wallow, imho.

There are people who make things happen. There are people who watch what happens. There are people who say “what happened?”

I’ve never heard of a Wellbutrin topical spray before!

If it weren’t for bad news, there’d be no news at all.

Aren’t you supposed to drink the bad news repellent? At least 5 shots of it.

“Put in your earplugs; pull down your eyeshade and don’t forget the cork.”

Isn’t Rat’s beer supposed to have the same effect ?

Heck, get me a gross of cases of Bad News Repellent! That might be enough to last a few days….

of course it works -spray it in your eyes & can’t see the bad stuff!

If you think about it, though, most of the bad news on the news does NOT affect you (or most people), and some will only have an affect sometime later, and some that has a great effect on a national level might not personally affect any given person (like “you”) very much… and when you consider that feeling bad isn’t going to make any difference, feeling bad in sympathy won’t make victims and others feel better, and won’t motivate you to do something that might help, it’s better to NOT LET IT affect you emotionally, but logically consider what you might do to help yourself and others, and happily set about to do it, even if it’s just saving one little starfish…
