Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 13, 2023

At least we got in one last Super Bowl before the aliens took over.

Does this mean Annie was wrong? The sun won’t come out tomorrow?

My mom died owing about $10K to credit cards. Poof!

Rat adopted the Congressional spending concept.

Spend today, let someone else pay tomorrow.

What about pearls AFTER swine?

“Our” credit card statement? Rat and Pig don’t have separate accounts?

Eat, drink and be merry, Pig & Rat…

Hey, with inflation, you want to get rid of your money.

The doomsday clock gets closer and closer to midnight regardless of who’s in charge as the elite believe they can survive Armageddon.

Need to add some cheese to that snack, Pig.

I wonder just how deeply depressed Pastis is.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

I learned the hard way that alcohol doesn’t fix nothing! Period

Like the movie On The Beach.

Excuse me, you owe taxes.

Not today! dies

I only use my credit card for emergencies. I usually use my debit card and cash.

For those making derogatory comments about people who don’t pay off their credit card balance every month, allow me to give you a glimpse in to the life of a poor person. Some people can’t. Especially when you only use them for emergencies. I have one card that I had to use when my central air conditioning broke. $5000 to replace and $4000 went on a credit card that is still not paid off almost 3 years later. This was an emergency in Central Florida. I keep flipping the balance to zero interest cards, but I can’t afford to pay much more than the minimum payment.

Wait a minute … is that a romantic meal they are having? But they are a rat and a pig! All those heads under those red MAGA baseball caps are going to explode!

PIG and RAT are oblivious.

They have a joint credit card?

The banks never lose any money, it’s all done on the backs of people who carry balances. Rewards from rewards cards, losses from people not paying etc. That said, there are a lot of people who overspend because they’re stupid, but we also have to keep in mind that there are a lot of people who use credit cards because they are in financial trouble because of high medical bills etc. and they have to suffer without any fault of theirs.

Another episode in Grounhog Day Manor…

I’m getting old.I’ve turned into one of those people who charges a $3.00 cup of coffee

Another long term Covid affect, more plastic money.

I always figured if I were diagnosed with a terminal illness I’d start smoking again.

Stop trying to sound profound and just drink yourself into a stupor, Pig. Rat can advise you on how it’s done….
