Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 21, 2021

Definitely a better life than if he didn’t get his quarters back.

#Livingmybaconlife.

Well, you can’t let the military get them. That would violate the Third Amendment.

Good for you, Pig.

You are a regular Joey Bosa the way you got the quarter back

I wonder if Stephan was inspired by this commercial:

People say that all the time, even when they’re doing something completely mundane. Sorry, Goat.

But his clothes are still wet!

Living me best life is when I has an ample supply of picanic baskets all loaded with delicious yummy scrumptious food.

Yeah, Goat, don’t spoil it.

Pig wears clothes?

So Pig …. When will you fly ?

Living High off the Hog. Is that physically possible for you Pig?

Since Pig wears no clothes, why does he use the laundromat?

What seems ordinary to some may be extraordinary to others.

See today’s Frazz … https://www.gocomics.com/frazz/2021/10/21

Rat just got locked up today on Pooch Cafe.

Simple minds are easily amused !

By setting the bar so low, Pig can be happy when the littlest thing breaks his way.

The simple things make us happy as we get older!

The hashtag specifies my best life. That’s by definition going to be different for everyone.

Boy, dude, do I want to party with YOU!

You have to take your wins where you can get them.

quoting the urban dictionary: a stupid phrase that is used, commonly on instagram, to give the false reality that you can wake up and choose which “life” you want to live

sounds about right, despite the atrocious english…

Poop

Looks like PIG was all washed up for a minute….don’t spoil his delusional thoughts…

That’s more like it, Pig. You’ve been down lately. Along with almost everybody else in this strip.

Offer no quarter to anyone, Pig!

What clothes?

It’s the little things…

That’s a two-bit philosophy

Gee, I dunno. That’s, like, $6 here. How many beers can I buy for $6?

I miss the days of checking the coin return slots of pay phones.

See, my problem is, unlike Pig, I don’t celebrate the little wins. I really should, though.

They hold no quarter

They ask, they ask no quarter

Oh, missing you without quarter

Oh the pain, the pain without quarter

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, give me quarter quarter quarter

I think Pig is a quarter low.

Not a small matter if it was pig’s hindquarters.

Seems appropriate to me.

If this were a real Pearls Before Swine strip, when Pig got his quarter back, he would get a football player.

Sorry but I can’t join in your jubilation this AM. Terrible Americano attempt at an otherwise stellar coffee shop. (I thought one shallow comment deserved another)

And over at Pooch Café,Rat is yelling at Woodstock—-“Will you speak ENGLISH!!?!?!?”

Yeah goat. Quit being a poopy face.

Think pandemic and Covid-D … to mask or not to mask, that is the question.

I can relate to Pig here , on Tuesday , I started washing at the laundry , my favorite machine wouldn’t take my quarters , after I switched to the next one , I looked in the return slot to see a quarter , got a dental pick , and pulled out about $3 of quarters ( wash costs $1.50 ! Oh frabjous day , Callou , Callay )

It’s the little things.

What is #livingmybestlife?

Sometimes the small victories are the best. Take those with joy.

I still don’t understand hashtags, or what you do with them, but I don’t look at other social media than this site. That must be the key.

..and THAT, friends, defines the the term “low threshold of whoopee”.

Surprised SO MANY regular people believe in reincarnation! Progress

When i pump my fist in a ‘Yes!’..

Was pig laundering money?

Living my best life, lol. What passes for profundity, cripes! Go post modernism! Its adherents deserve you!

These days, ya takes yer wins where ya can.

Pig is great at looking on the bright side.

Sure beats not getting your quarters back, heh, Pig?

#livingmydullestlife

I guess the key is to keep the expectations low.

I like how their little arms and hands have evolved over the years. They used to be little stick figure arms and legs :)
