Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 27, 2024

Pig will probably be more successful with his list than Goat with his.

Goat, unless you are the fastest deck-builder who ever lived, there’s no way you’ll get that list done in one day.

Pig’s list is more realistic.

Pig is like over 90% of everyone you meet.

Same here, Pig; same here.

good start Pog! Goat is just going to push his list til tomorrow anyway…

Baby steps.

1) Get through today

2) Try not to worry about tomorrow

Just stay away from Oscar Mayer ,Pig, and you will be fine!

Take out trash, do dishes, simulate Josephson junction DFF.

Get through the day. Anything accomplished beyond that is a bonus.

The sad truth of the matter is, the MOST DIFFICULT list in the world is in this comic strip, and it was written by PIG!!!! Dan aka…

I’d have to add “watch Jeopardy” to either one.

And what would happen if you did not “get through the day?”

At least Pig’s list is achievable. :)

Of all days, Moanday is hardest to getting through.

As long as you keep your chin up, you can get through anything.

Well, today is Memorial Day, when we pay our respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in military service to our country. Most of us think of them as heroes, but a former commander in chief calls them “losers” and “suckers”. Not just the ones who were killed, anyone who served at all! So if you’re a veteran, that’s what he thinks of YOU. And if you know some vets, that’s what he thinks of THEM. So do remember that on Nov. 5, when you’ll have a very meaningful opportunity to indicate what you think of HIM!

I like Pig’s list a lot more. It seems more relatable to my life.

I’m more like Pig than Goat.

Goat, the optimist. Pig, the realist.

Pig really is the smartest character here. I almost want to give up bacon…

Goat, your list is a short story. Well, it’s fiction anyhow.

It would take me a day just to get the materials and tools

Love you, Pig. You have many friends. More than you know.

Pig is wise beyond his years.

Strip of the day.

You can make it thru today, but tomorrow never knows

At 80, it’s a big gamble. Maybe, I’ll just move up my nap.

This has got to be the best advice of today.

In Flanders Fields poem by John McCrae

At work I had a post it note screen saver. I liked to put up reminders like “Cure cancer” and “End world hunger.”

Same Pig, same.

I’m with pig.

Reasonable

If anybody’s learning French cooking, I’m willing to be your taste tester.

I have goat dreams and pig reality.

Deck building takes forever. You have to find a perfect board, install it, and go back to the lumberyard and find the next perfect board. You also need to exchange all of the nails or screws with the head on the wrong end.

Methinks he’s enormously overestimating both the time and the energy he’ll have left after building the deck.

Unless maybe he almost finished the deck yesterday and has just a little more to go?

Me too, amigo Pig, me too ….

That’s my plan when I’m at work.

That’s the kind of list you can only take one day at a time.

Same here, Pig. Hang in there, buddy.
