Transcript:
Goat: Hey, uh, Jenny... you probably don't remember me... but I'm Goat... I met you in the cafe... anyhow, I just wanted to say... you have beautiful eyes. Rat: Ohh smoooth. Goat: What did you say, Jenny? Jenny: I didn't say anything. Goat: You didn't say "smooth" in a very sarcastic tone? Jenny: No. Why? Rat: I should keep my comments to myself.

That reminds me of when I was young and we had a party line. It wasn’t much of a party if we got caught listening evesdropping.

Is that trees reflecting on a pond through a window, or an oscilloscope reading?

Goat’s real name is Parismaybe you’d better consult the archives before you resume reading new strips
LingeeWhiz over 10 years ago
From Wikipedia: As with most of other animal characters in the strip, Goat is only referred to by the noun as a name. However, in an arc where Goat travels home and visits his mother, she comments on how his name is never used in the comic strip he works in, and that his real name is Paris. This name was chosen as a tribute to Stephan Pastis’s grandfather who died before Stephen’s birth, Paris Tripodes.4 Goat replies that “Goat” is just a stage name.5

@BartJ385—Steph wanted Goat’s real name to be “Flash Heavyhand”, but a certain singer from Canada made a very strong objection!
And I do NOT mean Anne Murray!!

No, should be arrested. Won’t happen though, there’ll be a scapegoat (pardon the pun), someone lower down the ladder who will take the blame and punishment.

Best use of the term SMOOOTH that this PB4S fan has ever seen is in Red Skelton’s “Guzzler’s Gin” routint on youtube.com!!
