Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 23, 2020

You know, I’m still standing better than I ever did

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

And 2020 isn’t finished yet .

A man on a tractor has just driven past me yelling, “The end of the world is nigh.” I think it was Farmer Geddon

You the boss, Pig!!

you sure got the world in your hands, Pig, but for sure not the whole world therein

It’s not the world, Pig. It’s the ones who don’t want to think for themselves, and so let others do it for them, no matter how wrong they are.

World: “Hold my beer.”

LIKE

The World is trembling…

Never give up. Never surrender! You go, Pig!

“As the World Turns, the Stomach Churns”

The Boss of the World is eventually:

“Kindness”

Did’ja ever notice Pig’s elevated ear keeps switching sides?

Not sure I want to challenge 2020 to do worse right now! I’d save that letter for January 1st.

An aggressor has to destroy his enemy utterly to be victorious, the defender has only to survive….

There’s a world of wisdom in that, Pig.

Pig once you stop taking the Debbie Downer pills you will be fine ;-) …. Croc Power !

Why blame the whole world for it, Pig? You know very well that it wasn’t the whole world that tried to bring you down.

Blaming the whole world appears to excuse one’s own responsibility.

Elton John, is that you?

You tell them, Pig!

Pig’s pen is the boss.

YES!!!

It’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done — Rocky Balboa

And the World just laughs….

cues up the Elton John “I’m still standing, after all this time.”

It’s not the world that’s trying to bring us down, it’s people, people on both sides of the aisle (I say that for the deluded binary folks who believe one political party is good and the other is evil) who crave power and who’ll anything to achieve it.

Ya gotta show who’s boss, and then you get bitch slapped.

Pig mustered every ounce of energy he had to announce he’s still hanging in there…..

I think “On your face” would have worked too.

Pig, Is your name Atlas?

Poor Pig. Thinking the world isn’t the boss. That’s what has gotten us here.

As debates are the order of the day —

Proposition : "There’s a hold in the world / Like a great black pit / And the vermin of the world / Inhabit it / And its morals aren’t worth what a pig could spit . . . " “No Place Like London” from Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Hugh Wheeler (1979).

Rebuttal : “I see skies of blue and clouds of white / The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night / And I think to myself what a wonderful world.” “What a Wonderful World” by Bob Thiele (as “George Douglas”) and George David Weiss (1967).

Pig dares to disturb the universe.

Pig, I’m afraid right now the boss is the pandemic.

Good for you, Pig.

The Stand.

Back in July I did yell at the world, saying “I’m THE BOSS OF MY OWN DESTINY. NOTHING GETS IN MY WAY!” Governor Newsom laughed at me and locked us down again.

A sure don’t feel like a boss

Persistence is resistance! Stay safe.

Yes, as Eva Braun’s last husband said, “Now we do it without the glass.” And possibly where the Milwaukee German’s got the idea to sell it under the name of Milorganite.

What’s the deal with Pig’s splotches?

You’re only kidding yourself Pig. No matter how convinced anyone is that they are the Masters of the World, that subjugation is merely a temporary illusion and in the end the Natural processes of the World will reduce us all to dust and erase all of our accomplishments.

We are fleas on a hound dog’s butt arguing about who owns the dog…..

In your case, Pig, it’s the world.

2020 is 80% overSomeday soon it will be no more2020, u taught us so many things but humans need to blame someone for their lack of protocol, so I guess u drew the short straw

I am giving Pig a round of applause all the way from the UK.

Also, “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John is a legendary song.

xxx

Don’t you know that I’m still standing better than I ever did…

Yes!! Yes, you do!!!

I love Pearls, but I’ve had enough of this 2020 end of world crap. Bring back the Crocs….

Pig’s got spunk! But the World crushes pigs, even spunky ones. Also, all us non-pigs….

if someone dares say that they don’t like Pig. they are evil and back the world in its fight against him
