Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 25, 2019

No dreams of fast cars and big houses?

Pig, you’re over thinking again.

Simply think SPAM and bacon.

I get motivated by thinking of what will happen if I don’t work really really hard.

Ulcers are very likely not caused by stress. Helicobacter pylori seems to be the agent, most often. Of course stress does make it easier for H pylori to get a grip in your gut.

Pig needs to concentrate on hardly working !!

that scenario is certainly one reason why i avoid really hard work to the extent possible…

Forget Layla, Pig! Head off to La La Land!

Interesting he puts clothes ON for a physical.

No matter how hard you work, you’re still just a step on the boss man’s ladder.

On tonight’s “Family Guy”, Stewie mentions that lots of celebrities write letters to people in prison, in particular that Kal Penn has a pen pal Ken in the Cal pen.

At least we can be thankful that Patsis doesn’t turn his miserable puns into musical numbers.

Layla should try to ease his worried mind

Layla’s there to ease his worried mind.

So Pig wears no clothes but a dressing gown at the doctor’s office.

Sounds like you’re accomplishing what you need to Pig.

My life coaches have all quit on me.

I always reckoned that being a life coach was a way to get paid for interfering in somebody else’s business. My wife would make a great life coach!

PIG needs to get grounded and self confidence before dreaming big! one day at a time…..OINK!

You’re a lily of the field, Pig. Just chill out.

Hard work never hurt anyone. Except those who died of job-related injuries or major coronaries. Where’s my blankie?

Lying in a warm oven,becoming golden brown.Gravy from the drippings.Mmmmmm ;)

I think we should start addressing everyone by their first name followed by their occupation. Joe the Uber driver. Linda the chartered accountant. Dave the moron who posts too much on GoComics.

Who speaks for the Death Coaches ???

Put on this gown you naked fool. And do not make fun of her name like, Layla me down in the clover ….

Funny!!!!! NOT Scarcastic

Huh, never looked at it that way. Pastis may be on to something with today’s strip. May also be swigging the milk of magnesia (or remembering doing so when he was a lawyer) by the gallon.

Dream a little dream of death.

Layla, you got Pig on his knees, Layla, he’s beggin’ darling please (acoustic version)…

Shouldn’t the phrase be “I can never seem to accomplish something”?

Working too hard can give you a heart attack ack ack ack ack! You ought to know by now.

Pig is more realistic than Layla the Life Coach! Sad but true….

It’s OK, Pig. Ulcers are caused by a virus, not “working really, really hard”.
