Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 01, 2014

Sing along with Henny Youngman::“When you’re down and out,Lift up your head and shout,HELP!”

It’s very hard for anyone to write dialogue for a character more pedantic than himself.

So I’ll have some sympathy for Stephan when Goat sees this strip in print, and bops him upside the head with the baseball bat for making him say “If I was down and out.”

OTOH…. Ouch.Goat, I also feel your pain.

Pennys from Heaven

Happy All Saints Day everyone.

Goat if you ever needed help from Rat you would not be needing cash; God takes credit for everything he does.

Even bad advice will cost you, Goat. Dumb looks are still free.

Ya know… Rat is the kind of character who gets bumped off in murder mysteries and everyone is a suspect ’cuz they all have great motives.

A friend in need is no friend of mine.

why does Goat even persist in talking to that heartless thing?

Goat… Goat… Goat.You should know better than to ask the most ridiculous questions.

Today’s brush-off of Goat is truly classic Rat. It may even be rubbing off on other, more innocent comic strips. See Alice’s behavior in today’s Cul de Sac.

Oh, you’re so lovely, Rat…

Does anyone expect rat to give goat cash when he doesn’t pay the bills, and leaves it to pig, an immature pig, to pay the bills
