Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 14, 2024

I notice that Paris Goat didn’t write down any physical attributes. Is he also hoping for “desperate”?

Where did he go?

Have a relative who had “pulse” as a desired quality…

Whatever happen to Pigita eh.

Just don’t go hog-wild Pig!

I’m “Desperate But Not Serious”.

The Big House

What happened to Pigita?

Why are people always so desperate to find a significant other? It doesn’t automatically mean that your life will be complete. Besides, it’s practically impossible to find one these days, anyways.

I don’t think “Likes bacon” would be a good quality in a mate for Pig.

I swear that Pastis has a microscope on my life.

Pig, you’ll fare better than rat!

I was once asked about what I wanted in a girlfriend, and said “Living” as the first thing.

I’ve been saying for a while now that I’m attracted to the sort of woman about whom, if we were together, people would be saying “Oh, she could do so much better.” The problem is that every woman I’ve met who fits the bill knows that and is unwilling to settle.

Left wing radical socialist Marxist prone to violence and mayhem.

I come to realize, after four marriages and seventy five years of living, that getting to know yourself first is w a y more important than getting to know another. Not more enticing, or arousing, just way more important in the long run of the relationship, IMHO.

Don’t sell yourself short, Pig. You’re a sweet guy, you’ll find someone soon.

If anything happened to my wife, I don’t think I’d try dating. I don’t want to compete with a phone.

“Lowered Expectations!” I didn’t really expect to find someone. I did try on the rare occasions a good possibility came along. Got pretty close once, my senior year through college, then she dumped me. Figured I’d be a “bachelor till the Rapture.” Then I tried sitting by a woman in church who’d been a widow for a year or two — I was too shy to say anything, gave up for good… and then she contacted me and that began a relationship that has now become our marriage. 8)

Years after my friend’s divorce, his youngest daughter (in her mid teens) said, “Dad, you just need to find a woman with low expectations.” Ouch.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the Great White North!

I like Pig’s practical attitude.

I had an extensive list. She exceeded it and added a few I love.

I did not know that Pig was ambidextrous. I thought he was only left handed, ergo in his right mind !!

right side of the brain controls the left side of the body!

Well, don’t bother with on-line dating. Even the skαnks have trick questions.

My son had “Likes the Beatles”… and found a mate.

As long as you’re willing to end up alone you need not fear setting your standards sky high.

Nobody ever looks for real human qualities like self-centered and obnoxious

It’s so hard to meet people as you get older, especially if you don’t go to bars or are religious/church goer.

My list includes “Doesn’t tell me to get lost”.

Pragmatism should never be a part of a wish list.

unfortunately I know a few couples like that… kinda sad, but I keep hoping for ’em…

I miss the years when this strip was funny.

The thought occurs that if Pig were to achieve “well-read,” he’d fit Goat’s profile tolerably well…

Why would you attack me like this, Pastis???
