Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 17, 2020

But you made an impression on yourself.

I like Pig’s day best.

You could still be useful, Pig; Larry might be taking a course in sweet & sour pork.

It takes a lot of effort for Pig to be the best pig-in-a-blanket without ruining the curing of the bacon.

Would have been funnier if Pig’s life coach were the other Larry.

have you heard about the corduroy pillows ? they’re really making headlines !

Larry has trouble sleeping. Pig, you could be his sleep coach.

I’m envious. I would sleep so much if given the opportunity. Sadly, my cats disagree.

I’d rather hang with Pig

being productive is way over-rated…

So nice to be retired.

If he is a coach where is his whistle ? … Croc Power !

Coach Larry should view this as his greatest professional opportunity.

I have children. So I get up at 6:45, just barely have enough time get them ready for school where I drop them off at 8:40 at the sound of the bell, and then commute for 75 minutes to arrive at the office at 10:00… not much time left for ten miles runs… best I can do is a 10 minute walk to the sandwich shop at noon.

Before I retired, my daughter and I would get up at 4:30am, be skating by 5:30am, back home by 7 to get ready for school and work. It was the only time to practice that fit into our lives. We went to bed between 8-9pm…. (Now that I am retired, I get up at 5am-6am. Feels like sleeping-in. LOL).

Life coach Larry can take a flying leap.

It’s for sure that Pig’s life is better not being coached by Larry. Pig doesn’t worry about stress.

Well I’m impressed you lived through the day without being made into Oscar Mayer bacon.

I’ve had the same life coach for 37 years, but she must not be very effective – I don’t understand why I’m not perfect by now.

Need a softer pillow.

PIG is hopelessly lazy, methinks!

I’m not sure Life needs a coach, but it would be nice if it came with an instruction manual… and a dress rehearsal.

I have no mouth and I must natter.

My life coaches just leave whenever I get a job.

At my age, a life coach would just bench me.

Pig should introduce him to Peggy Bundy.

Larry’s idea of a productive day (running and taking cooking classes) suggests that it is he who could use some coaching.

Speaking of"other" Larry…..where’s the crocs? n Best characters in the whole “Menagerie!”

“Life Coach?” Way easier than all those years to become a Psychiatrist.

I’m impressed, Pig. That’s some professional snoozing there.

larry and jeff the cyclist are married, ya kno…

That’s okay, Life Coach Larry doesn’t impress.

After I finished breakfast, all I could thing of was doing curls. Curling up in bed!

Don’t fret, Pig. You did good. Getting enough sleep is important. Life Coach Larry, a.k.a. Larry the Blowhard Braggart, does not impress me at all….

He’s just envious.

If Life Coach Larry doesn’t have a mouth, how is he going to enjoy the cooking class?

My life coach has his own life coach. Is that a bad sign?

Is it possible to learn this power?
