Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 06, 2022

Maybe this is why companies are demanding workers return to the office.

Does Stephan have one bed strip with blank speech balloons, which he fills in differently each time?

Millennial philosophers

Pig has it right. That’s why I rarely get up before the crack of noon.

well, it’s true, pessimism makes strange bed fellows!

Then can we stop seeing the wise donkey?

Truly we have here strange bedfellows!

Morning is the time I go to bed.

Usually at the start of a period of unemployment, I loved being able to sleep in. Then after a couple of days I can’t get to sleep early enough at night. Must be a pattern.

Why get out of bed and venture into a world like we have now? I don’t see the point. Maybe I’m already dead…

I wish I could do that.

We’re on time of use, so energy is cheapest when I’m natually awake. I cook, do laundry, do online stuff when it’s quiet.

I have never liked morning, feel like the inside of a rolled up rug, so I sleep through it. Sleep more efficiently, too. If I manage to sleep “normal” hours, I’m up 4-5 times, have weird dreams and wake up achy.

Twisted reasoning, but hey! It’s Pig and Rat rationalizing again…

When you’re up you’re up when you’re down you’re down but if you are only halfway up you’re neither up nor down.

Don’t hate yourself in the morning, sleep until noon!

Just the opposite of today’s Arlo and Janis

Roommates sharing a bed. Is this normal?

Isn’t this a reprint of a past episode?

Shove over !

Good idea. I am considering going back to bed myself.

I want to brew my coffee on my bed headboard, but I’m too old to pipe in the water and, like the oven and toaster, it is just another did I turn it off worry when I’m gone traveling.

I just got kicked out of my original (Comicfan C) profile so now here i am. Its really pathetic

Have any of you noticed that there is no bed post in Stephan’s bed? Just one or two pillows and and a blanket.

Pig isn’t wrong, and he’s definitely a genius.

As Groucho Marx said—“You have to get up awfully early if you want to get out of bed”.

Meh…my bed is boring.

And you want to avoid “being down in the afternoon” at all costs because…? The aim of life, as far as I have been informed, does not seem to be avoiding unpleasant feelings.

Oh, my, yes! Pig has got it right! As a retiree, I can even get into the act from time to time….

Staying in bed for too long can bring you down, too.

At noon I am usually waiting to go to bed.
