Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 22, 2021

You still have to earn money to buy the cheese.

Let cheeses show you the way.

thanks a lot, Goat, for crushing dreams like that

Actually, sacrifice and invest, and then reach a critical mass where your investment makes more money than you spend. Then hope some jackass doesn’t come along and take it away from you.

Some people say “Why don’t poor people just pull themselves up by their bootstraps?” Goat seems to be one of those people.

Hey, it worked for Boughten!

Eat more cheese , get fatter and there will be more bacon for us .

Be the best pig in a blanket.

Personally, I would replace “cheese” with “glazed donuts”.

Second plan is much more realistic.

That’s an EXCELLENT option. Mmmm CHEESE !!

That’s about where I’m at too. 2021 is looking more hopeful than 2020 but I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel for a marked improvement by end of year.

Cheese, Gromit! Cheese!https://tenor.com/view/cheese-wallace-and-gromit-claymation-stop-motion-gif-4496173

Pig, stick with your plan, for cheddar or worse.

Eat Limburger Pig, that way no one will get near you to bother you!

Not bad advice these days.

It’s important to have attainable goals

People seem to think the first thing and not understand Goat’s explanation. You have to like your business and practically live with it to get it to succeed! I’ve seen local shops open last a few months and close. Mostly because they aren’t open when they are supposed to be. One opened on a Monday. Opened late on Tuesday. Didn’t open Wednesday and was out of business on Thursday!!!

Keep your mouth shut, Goat.

Panel 2: Work hard so the ones that refuse to can leech off your 7 day a week efforts.

Hope for the best? Without fiber, you’re just grunting in the wind.

Pig has cracked the meaning of life. Pig has reached enlightenment eating cheese. TEACH ME DA WAYS

Don’t forget the macaroni and butter.

I feel like I’ve seen this strip before….

Need more than cheese. How about adding some bacon and bread and don’t forget to grill it……

Aim higher Pig, Eat cheese, drink wine and sleep in late.

Does anyone remember that one commenter from sometime back that share a whole lot links, and emojis on the PBS strip? This was back when GC had the original site, and we could do all that, and more. I can’t remember his screen name for the life of me. He had an avatar of Space Ghost. Whatever happened to him?

Pig should join the Underwear Gnomes. Guaranteed profits galore!

If you’re British you might find that plans first point has far less affordable options now.

You only have to work half-days when you own your own business.

AND you get to choose whatever 12 hours you want.

Shoot a car into space just to, you know, show everybody…something.

It’s a trap I tell you.

In Pig’s defense:

Cheese is good.

Especially the cheese.

Pig’s plan worked for me.

My life plan has worked out surprisingly well. Just sayin’.

I like plan 2 better. If that doesn’t work out, let’s at least hope he never gets to plan 9.

If you do make millions, think of all of the different cheeses you could eat. You can even fly to the Netherlands to get fresh Edam.

Blessed are the cheese makers.

I never knew how good cheese could be until I lived in France…

and drink a lot

Careful there, Goat! You’re turning Pig into a bloody Realist! (Not to mention, a Cheesehead….)

Take the smart path: just be happy

The first goal was wishful thinking.

Wisconsin Cheeseheads would approve

you had me at eat cheese

Plan for life: Exist until I expire or become forcefully expired

yay doing it.

Your second plan would work for me! Mmmm, cheese!

There are people who have to climb high mountains to find such wisdom.

Get a good job. Pump maximum amount in 401k. Retire early. Learn to make money in the stock market.

NONO NO ITS RERUNNING COMICS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Goat must be a staunch capitalist.
