Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 03, 2020

And Pig didn’t have to climb a mountain to talk to wiseman to figure this out.

If it’s good enough for Pig, it’s good enough for me.

Since you’ve ensured that you’re fit to be consumed, your fitness goals are achieved!

One of the best advices ever. “Be happy”

In the words of Capt. Sparrow, “I like it! It’s simple, easy to remember!”

Lowered expectations: the solution to everything.

You go, Pig!

That was for your mind what about your body Pig ? … Croc Power !

Wrong! Wrong! WRONG!!!

You must get up at 5, and go for a five mile run or a fifteen mile ride.

Then a kale smoothie for breakfast.

Then down to the gym for weight training.

That’s just for starters.

Remember, happiness is overrated.

That’s only fitting for Pig. I’m sure he’ll do a successful repeat in 2020.

Way to go, Pig! You’re an inspiration to so many others! (-:

My last resolution for this year was to not procrastinate and break all my resolutions as quickly as possible so that I didn’t have to worry about breaking my resolutions.

SUCCESS!!

Nice goals.

Just roll with the punches, it’s easier that way….

Ah, the gentle wisdom of Pig. Somehow, Pig, I don’t think the progressives are going to let you get away with that. Gotta progress, dontcha know? At all costs, baby.

So simple …

I used to think that way. Your’re going to die anyway, might as well enjoy yourself. Then my daughter had a baby boy and all that changed!

Pig’s got it down !!!!! lol

And another magic reversing cup. ;)

Don’t worry, be happy. Would you like ganja mon? Everyting is irie. (We Wisconsin residents are warned daily by the state not to bring back marijuana from Illinois.)

Drink more beer. DONE

Eat more Cheetos. DONE

More nakedness. DONE

I had a pretty good 2019, too.

C’est la vie.

Panel 3 is great…up to a point. If you’re indulging yourself without a reasonable amount of discipline and restraint, it WILL catch up to you.

Pig is lucky. 2019 didn’t go the way most people wanted.

but are you happy? you don’t seem happy.

Pig will live till he dies.

Well done, Pig, my accomplished little porker!

Well, if you break it down to that…OK.

At 74 I want to sleep a lot too – but my wife at 72 says “let’s keep moving”.

Pig is now officially my hero!

Unfortunately, that resolution isn’t easy for many people.

In truth, this is actually a very good goal. Science has shown that trying to exercise or eat (or not eat) your way to a significant body change is generally not useful or conducive to good health.
