Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 06, 2025

Ironically, a lot of people do their “not living” in the living room.

Amen, Wise A$$.

The WA is spot on this time!

If he means not living as in enjoying life, he’s right!

Not living? Hey, it’s a living for most folks.

Death is certain. Enjoy being alive.

There are only two kinds of people staying on this beach: Those that are dead and those that are going to die . Get off your butts ! You are the fighting 29th !

Dying is the next great adventure

Dying IS the worst thing to happen to someone who doesn’t know and love Jesus !!!!

The ancients thought philosophy would teach you not to fear death. The Epicureans were sure of it, “Someone threatens you with death? That’s nothing to fear. It is the end of all pain and suffering.” Epictetus was disappointed with some of his followers, “Those d@mn Christians don’t fear death, c’mon guys you got to be smarter than them.”

(In the first few centuries CE Christianity was regarded as a school of philosophy. It considered itself the best, and other kinds considered it the worst.)

This one resonates.

This is really rather good.

I hear a song. Sounds like “Always look on the bright side of life”.

How incredibly odd.A “Christian” comic strip endorsing the philosophy that you should ACTUALLY enjoy your life INSTEAD of “sacrificing” every single joy that you can, just so you can “re-coup” those joys later in the afterlife.Cool!!!!Dan aka….ps thanks, Mr. Stephan Pastis!!!!!

Dying ain’t much of a living….

So true!

Go! (now and) Live your life!

But it’s gotta be good because they’re saving it for the end and no one has complained yet. Unless you believe all those fake ghost hunters series on streaming.

Being a Delusional Deluded Liberal Democrat. God Bless America!

Tomorrow is coming no matter what you do today. You might as well live it up while you can. Age will slow you down and the Scythe-Guy will get you in the end but today will be just fine, great even.

Living isn’t being on GC comments engaged in a flame war?

If you don’t believe the dead come back to life, watch what happens at quitting time

Caution and fear…. Death doesn’t care.

No one’s escaped him yet. (For the most part)

The Great Wise A$$ has a valid point.

I just realized that’s not an actual hill he’s sitting on, it’s just a big pile of… brown stuff.

“And the soul afraid of dying, never learns to live”—The Rose

The Great Wise Åss said something wise! What’s he trying to do, break the comic strip?

omg the great wise a$$ actually said something interesting

Real wisdom for a change. But interesting coming from a guy who spends his life sitting on a hill.

Sadly, some people have reinterpreted this as ‘move fast and break things.’

Good advise

After all, pigs only have 15 or 20 years.

Brilliant

“Living life to the fullest means taking risks—hold my beer and watch this!”

If living requires artificial life support with total dependence on tubes for feeding, frequent diaper changes and no autonomy whatsoever as an adult, dying would be a welcome release.
