Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 01, 2020

Happy New Decade! (?)

The American Resolution: Be a decent human being who doesn’t shoot people, doesn’t spread lies or hate over social media, and doesn’t spray-paint “Trump Nation / Whites Only” everywhere.

If only everyone in America would adopt this resolution…

Good luck at that, Pig. (Happy Twenty Twenty, “Pearls Before Swine” readers).)

I believe in you, Pig!

Your goal is to satisfy our hunger, Pig; which you’re going to achieve nonetheless.

Just have a better year. Be happy.

Pig are you a “Plugger” ? … Croc Power !

Pig has got it all figured out! Happy new year, All!

Pig is going to start a new year/decade with a proven success – he’s going to perfect pig-in-a-blanket and pork belly.

Sounds like a great goal.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to Stephen Pastis and all the fans of Pears Before Swine!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2020! Let’s hope PIG gets the help he needs and RAT stops his antics….ZEEBA? Where is ZEEBA? CROCS?

2020: Pig gets thin, Rat becomes humble, Paris gets a date, Larry catches a prey, Zebra gets eaten. Happy New Year!!!

Can Piggy give up chocolate this year? He’s done it before.

Don’t sleep your life away.

Is Pig trying to get in touch with his inner Garfield?!? Happy 2020, PB4S fans!

Sounds like a dirt nap.

Happy Hangover Day!! My resolution is 1280 x1024

Smile, the Census Takers are coming. The unemployed are soon not counted, and the non-taxed soon disappear altogether, then the politicians take the jobs credit when the few remaining get a job. WHAT A COUNTRY!

Cognitive dissonance resolved.

I’d really like to see the GoComics crowd’s life goals in print.

Looks like you have a really leaky pen!

Pig is a GENIUS!

How to be happy: have reasonable expectations.

Reminds me of my sister.

What’re these characters all using 1950’s ball points? What’s with all the facial ink splotches?

How about a resolution to write without marking up your face?

Those ink marks on Pig’s face are an homage to Charles Schultz whose character Charlie Brown made a similar mess every time he tried to write in ink!

Very clever, Pig! Stack the deck in your favor, so to speak! Nap on! The world will scarcely notice, anyway….

These strips about Pig setting ludicrously low goals have become a recurring device. I wish there was a comic list compiling all of these strips. I’ll even make it myself, if you’ll just show me how.

And so it began…
