Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 17, 2017

You shouldn’t have allowed any 420s in the booth.

“If this is to end in fire

Then we should all burn together

Watch the flames climb high,

Into the night…"

Today’s background music: “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel.

Hope? What’s the point? Hope doesn’t pay the rent or feed the hungry. Fulfillment is what we need.

Mind you, that burned down too.

I have a feeling that either the one who burned down the booth is a certain rodent, or his initials are D. J. T.

Or a rodent called D.J.T

At one time fire was man’s “hope for the future”.

You’re a Good Man, Pig.

Pig I see a dark cloud above you for most things you do end up being screwed up :-( Time for a witch to cast a spell !

I’m going to heaven in a flash of fire,

With or without you.

Hoyt Axton

Black lives matter?

Ok, have the masses moved from “anger” to “depression” yet?

Oh we will all burn together when we burn.

There’ll be no need to stand and wait your turn.

When it’s time for the fallout

And saint peter calls us all out,

We’ll just drop our agendas and adjourn.

Can anyone tell me how to sign out of this bloody mess?

Was it about forests?

Apparently, GoComics posted the 1/20/17 PBS strip 3 days early.

“Yes we can!”

Has anyone not heard the Paul McCartney song with the same name? I love it.

Burned down by Rat.

Oh, go ahead, Pig. Read into it all you can.

One thing for which we have no lack is negativity and hatred. Two things. Negativity, hatred, and agitprop. Okay, three things….

Okayyyyyyyy

I’m just hoping the world outlives me rather than the other way round.
