Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 01, 2022

My goal for this year: not to die. If I fail, I won’t know about it.

HAPPY — I hope — NEW YEAR!

So many people lose the Resolutionary War that I’ve chosen not to enlist.

Happy ‘22, y’all!

Good luck at that, Pig.

his fitness goal is fitness food in his mouth! Happy New Year everyone!

And he won’t even achieve that!

Fitness? More like fatness.

Perfect movable goal.

It is important to be realistic when goal-setting.

Well I will live forever, because I found the secret hidden under brambles!

My brother is fit..Fit to be tied.

Become the best bacon possible.

If you keep your goal vague, that makes it easier to claim/say that you’re achieving it.

Resolution: Get in shape.

Done. I already am in shape.

“Round” is a shape, right?

But Pig, we wants you gets fatter. The fatter the pork the yummier. Yum yum!

That’s a tough goal for some of us Pig!

Stay away from sauerkraut, Pig! Ha Ha Ha!

Eat slightly less cheese.

Pig you must practice Pie – Hole control !

You’re a pig, you’re supposed to be chubby. That’s perfectly natural.

Practical and obtainable goals are the keys to success!

You know darned well, PIG, you won’t follow your resolution….

Sometimes this comic’s so real to me…it’s scary!

My new year’s resolution is 4K.

Happy New Year to all my Comments Friends!

Whoa croc buddy this never louds well. Perhaps more spaces??

My wife is on about us exercising again and eating better. Oy.

My goal is to go to the gym several times each week. I need to loose 30-40lbs.

I sincerely hope that 2022 is a healthy, happy, and prosperous year for all of you…

¡Feliz Año Nuevo para todos!

A man has to know his limitations. But that is also so he can exceed them in some cases.

I wish I could set goals like Pig. I’m too much of a perfectionist.

I definitely didn’t have that goal during the past holidays…now it’s time to get serious.

My new year’s resolution is to do all the things I said I was going to do in March 2020.

That’s attainable…..

At my age, mid 70’s, any day above ground is a good day!!

That is a waste of a perfectly good piece of paper

Stephan is so lazy. In my Pearls Before Swine box calendars, the same comic on 12/31/21 is repeated on 1/1/22. At first it is insulting to think I would not notice. Then I reconsidered that the joke may be on me for having higher expectations. I am lowering my PBS expectations for 2022. “I like to keep them within reach.” Stephan, please explain. Ha!

Co-incidentally, the Twilight Zone marathon is showing “The Eye Of The Beholder” right now.

I’m glad Pig made it through New Years Eve and didn’t get pickled!

Me too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Never make a resolution unless it’s to never again make resolutions.

Difficult time for it.

After a certain point, you have to switch to something harder to reach, but vital to your health. “Not much fatter” doesn’t cut it when you’re much too fat already!

Practical Pig predicting possible perfection, sort of….
