A Great Role Model

In today’s Pearls Before Swine, Rat and Pig are standing behind the couch looking out when Goat comes by. (Click on the link to see the cartoon. They would charge me $35 to post it here.)

Goat: What are you two doing?

Rat: Keeping an eye on life. We’re certain it has some terrible surprise in store for us, so we’re hiding and staying alert.

Goat: What an awful way to go through life. I prefer to enjoy each and every day.

Rat (to Pig): He’s lost it.

Landon at The Thundering Herd agrees with Goat. In today’s post Hu-Dad wants him to come into the house, but he’s much too busy looking at bugs and shadows and smelling leaves to hurry.

He’s my new role model.

    Well I certainly wouldn’t pay $35 to repost a comic strip either.
    I’m not familiar with that one butI kind of live under a rock…lol

      Some of his cartoons are great… a lot aren’t, but I always check.

      I think you’re handling things extremely well. I wouldn’t be able to do what you do.

  4. I’ve never liked comic books or cartoons…and I really don’t know why. But I love dog blogs.

      I love dog blogs too! I skim some comics every day because occasionally one does a great ob of illustrating a point.

    I have not heard of this comic, but I love it! It has been very hard to not live in fear nowadays, though.

    • Jean says:

      Yes, it’s scary! But at Andy’s and my age I’m more concerned about something happening to him… I’m not going to waste the precious time remaining to us by worrying.

    Love the role model! (You’d think that they’d pay YOU for advertising the strip!)

  7. Madsnapper says:

    Landon is so handsome and what a wonderful picture of him stopping to smell the roses well maybe not roses but leaves! I think we should all use Landon as a role model

  8. A role model for all of us to follow!

    It is always good to stop and smell the roses…
