Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 05, 2011
Transcript:
Pig: How come sometimes when I try to do the right thing, everything turns out badly for me? Goat: Well, you know, Pig, acting with honor is its own reward. After all, what's life without principles? Rat: Fun. Goat: Don't listen to - Pig: I WANT THAT!!

It would seem that most politicians live by this rule. As well as all the movie stars and ‘Pop’ figures in society. Sad.

Fun takes a hike right around the onset of puberty…

Look, a few scattered Rat-guys around give spice to society…it’s a valid philosophical position.
Or maybe True Rat is always an individual…

Fun is what you make of it. Just like happiness. Doesn’t come from what you do or have but from how you think. Remember when you were a kid and after they gave you the most expensive toy in the store you spent the rest of the day playing with the gift box it came in? Too bad so many forget that basic simple rule about the time they hit puberty.

Definitions are different with different people.I consider it fun on weekends to sleep till 6.My better half considers it fun to hit a Broadway show, then sleep while I drive for 3 hours.I consider myself poor cause I haven’t saved enough for retirementMy neighbor considers himself poor cause his car is last year’s.Guy six blocks away considers himself poor cause if he pays for cable, he can’t buy much dope.Some see a doughnut, some see a hole.

Well, we’ve got no class,And we’ve got no principles,And we’ve got no innocence;We can’t even think of a word that rhymes.(Alice Cooper)

I think if Goat would stare more or bulge his eyes it would look funnier. He always squints his eyes shut when he’s disgusted, and it just isn’t as funny. :)

Face it: those folks all adapted! better than we did; note, they ‘Fit in’ so well, so long. Evidently quite taxing to maintain for longperiods. And after tasting, Fame’s lure, like POWER, is irresistible.
And yes, it is a comment on our general society’s molding and shaping influences. Soft stuff flows and slushes and hardens intothat shape. Grin and bear it. (old expression long before the comic)
GI,GO.
