Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 26, 2023

Maybe Pig can get his money back.

Must be the James McCormick ADE-600 model

Every time you turn on the news, there’s more trouble than you can shake a stick at.

If it’s one of those TV remote wands, you can turn the TV off or change the channel.

Back to Olivander’s shop…

The solution isn’t wishing or magic, but it does start with each of us…

Pixy Stix… now THERE is a magic wand!

Wrong channel Pig. Try dialing up Me TV. No bad news.

It makes everything better for the merchants of death, the gun lobby!

Poor Pig is waving around his thoughts & prayers…

One of many reasons I did not move back to the US after moving to Europe.

The Supremes are fully supportive of mass shootings. They’re FINALLY holding parents of a school shooter liable, let’s hold the Supremes to the same rule of law

Pig Potter.

Gotta get rid of those gun free zones.

My magic wand is broken too. No matter how much I wave it around, nothing ever happens.

You don’t know what things would have been like if he hadn’t waved the wand. There is no “Make things perfect” wand.

Sadly there is no ‘Please Make Everything Better’ wand.

The magic wand is the remote. Use it to to turn off the news. Mine works very well.

Hence, another reason I stopped following the news daily. Too depressing, frustrating and stressful.

If only the news was the news and not agenda driven, like in the old days!

Only in America does freedom smell so much like gunpowder.

Wait until he finds out his e mail has been hacked by the online company in Hong Kong from which he bought it.

At least Pigs trying to make things better instead of just whining about it.

Well, dammn

If only it were that easy.

If only that were a real thing.

John 16:33 – ‘I have said these things to you….. In the world you will have tribulation (all your days).

I appreciate the effort, Pig, but unless we stop and persecute criminals, we cannot stop crime.

I just read this morning that a chocolate factory blew up in Pennsylvania.

And yet, still more effective than any action the Repubs are willing to take.

When you have one part of govt, supporting all the evil, what do we expect?

What will it TAKE for common sense to sink in?

Oh, wait! When the bribe money stops flowing…..

It’s OK. None of us miss you.

When you ban books before you ban guns, you’ve admitted you’re more afraid of children learning than yo are of them dying.

Yeah. . . .

Too many times mass shooters leave tell tales signs of their sicknesses on social media, but no one does anything about it. I don’t see that changing

Oh, Pig! You did your best.

I guess that wand’s a dud.

Stephan’s getting depressing again. I hope I don’t have to take this comic out of my rotation…

Guess what? Thoughts and prayers don’t do anything either.

Less info gathering from news/social media. More talking to people. Live. That’s your wand.

Not to worry, Republicans are protecting the children.

From ‘woke’.

That’s what’s important.

Oh Pig, what a shame, you tried your very best XXX

The “make everything better wand,” is your voting ballot. “Choose wisely.”

Hey, at least it’s still newsworthy.

“Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth” -Ps. 37:10,11 ……for those about to jump on the ‘fairy-tale book’ bandwagon, bear in mind that no form of human government or leadership can make this promise.

Every day, the hermitic life seems more attractive.

Mass shootings are so common now, they don’t even make the news anymore

Did they get Communion before the shot the Mass…

DON’T move to the dumpster fire of Portland.

So, so sadly true…..so very sorry Pig

There’s no such thing as a Magic Wand, Pig. Welcome to your exit from Fantasyland and return to the harsh Real World….

We’ll know the wand works when government stops trying to disarm all the good civilians and, instead, encourages them to be able to defend themselves.

Also the tornadoes that killed 2 dozens

Monday 3/27: Dear Pig, I’m feeling just like you today. Wishing we could really make everything better. XOXO from Moonglow.

you have ESP?? cause …. REALLY 3/27/23 Nashville

There’s a sign on the front door of my local library that says, “No visible or concealed carry firearms permitted” and I have to know, do other countries outside the US need to tell people not to bring guns to the public library?

Until the American politicians and presidents grow a set things won’t change.So….looks like never
