Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 10, 2024

All too true. Now I forget why I came here in the first place.

This is why you should always have a notebook handy.

Old Folks Home where they can give you drugs without your permission.

Rat, if he retires, you cease to exist.

I have serious C.R.S.

I think I can answer that for you, Rat…what was the question again?

NOW GET OFF MAH LAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

kids these days…..no respect for their elders…

The world will seem friendlier since you’ll constantly be making NEW friends!

I do constantly misplace my phone!

Time for the “Happy Home” ?!

And another thing. And by the way…..

I just use the “Find File” function in my Brain. Might take a day or two.

For the record, Stephan is 56. Younger than many of us who post here regularly.

Sounds familiar…. not speaking of me…. no…. no…. not me…. what was I saying?

Turn your hat around, retro dude. It’s 2024.

A memory is only so big, you know.

He better sign up for the home now. There is a waiting list.

He smells like Ben Gay and moth balls

Make one for me too Rat!

Old folks know how to hide the bodies so they won’t be found. And, a life sentence is not much of a deterrent. Be careful, Rat.

I can forget a thought while I’m thinking it!

That used to happen when I was younger too.

It’s alright It’s OK. It doesn’t matter if you’re old and gray. Dennis Waterman.

The local DMV thought it was a good idea to give me a new drivers license. For EIGHT years! All I had to do was read the second largest line of letters.I’m coming up on 74 – you’d think they would make me take some sort of test,They used to make cars have a safety check every other year to make sure the tires weren’t bald, windows, wipers and horn worked and the brakes were good, They stopped that about 4 yrs ago. Knowing that half the cars out there are probably unsafe and being driven by old people is scary.

“It seems, as one becomes older/ That the past has a different pattern, and ceases to be a mere sequence” – T.S. Eliot This is true. Memory has become a most different experience.

Stephan is channeling his inner Joe Biden (remember him?). God help the lad. :.( The Count certainly hope it is temporary. And God Bless America.

Notepads in every room. Learned that trick from my…..um…..oh yeah, my father.

Luckily I forget this comic daily

It’ll come to him in tomorrow’s strip.

Have I read Pearls today?!?!?

He can’t be too old if he wears his hat backwards.

Soilent Green time..?

I have nothing to say. so I’m gonna say that I’m 5 foot 1. (If you don’t get the reference shame on you)

I’ve had amnesia ever since I can remember. I’ve been told that there are 3 things that happen when you get old. First you start to forget everything….and I can’t remember the other two.

All of your life you get smarter and smarter with age and experience then you get older and start to forget everything you ever learned.

I explain this to my computer-savvy friends as that I have so much stored on the hard drive that it’s got a giant index and takes a long time to search it.

While you’re at it, make one for me.

Been there, done that.

Sympathy LIKE.

In other words, CRS. Can’t Remember S***

Good one, Stephan, I laughed out loud.

OK. This whole “you’re old” thing is getting silly….

Forgot where I was going with that.

What about those of us who were always forgetful?

The joys of technology have bitten me here, too.Now everyone sends me verification codes to sign into (store) accounts, so I’m looking at something from Safeway, and want to go back to see if my account has a coupon for it but by the time I get signed in…I have a 50/50 chance of remembering what I was going to look for.

In fairness, the older we get the more there is to remember… and besides all those memorizes lyrics get in the way.

I am old, but I’ve had this condition (not being able to remember some things until I give up and think of something else) as long as I can remember.

A small recording device works great. That way, you don’t have to try and find a pencil.

Its funny until it’s you! hahaha

I had no memory issues at all until a few months ago. Taking a statin does affect memory. I hate it.

Sorry,the guy who writes GASOLINE ALLEY got the last one

I’ve noticed that if I ask my brain something like, “Oh, who played Chester?”, I don’t have to actively think about it. Later on, my brain just pops up with, “Dennis Weaver”.

Perfect comic for my 70th birthday

Old folks home. I thought the Post had an article that the places are all full up. And we were one of the largest groups in populations to come along. Our patents doing a lot of hanky panky we can surmise.

Stay young at heart. That’s my advice.

When I’m looking for my car keys, I always open the refrigerator for some reason

oh, don’t put him there yet. Get home care. And diapers.

I never thought about that. Makes you think, doesn’t it.

Steph is only 56

I am 46 and have a yearly planner! I love sticky notes too.
