Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 30, 2015

They seem likely to be ready for whatever the disaster is that is happening this coming Sunday and that everyone seems to be so excited about.

Rat, are you insane?! You forgot the corn chips!

What? No chili?

Shouldn’t that be vodka and beef jerky?Beer and hot dogs don’t keep well.

Ahh, you beat me to it!It’s BACON!!!

Is this post-emergency, or pre-?

The problem with beer is that it goes bad after awhile, so you have to constantly replace it with fresh. And, of course, you have to drink the old before it gets too stale. I think it stays fresh about, what, two days?

Has anyone seen Mother Goose and Grimm today? Larry is visiting friends.

@scarypearls—Happy Groundcroc Day!

He took up beer space for hot dogs? For shame

Yeah they’re in MRE’s… they call em “beef franks”. 4 dogs and that flat dehydrated bread for a bun. Probably the worst MRE I ate and I love hotdogs.

No condiments for the hot dogs?

I hope the hot dogs are kosher, to spare Pig’s sensibilities.

Then again, that would be the first time Rat ever spared anyone’s sensibilities.

Umm, hotdogs? Wouldn’t that be sorta cannibalism for pig to devour hotdogs :P – Although he have not seem so beat up about the fate of his family earlier when they’ve been incorporated into the food-chain.

No room for dessert Twinkies?

The necessities of life!

Today’s Mother Goose & Grimm comic strip:

Beer is good until it gets skunky. Keep it cool and away from light and it will be okay for a long, long time. The freshness deal is just to keep stock moving, just like on a cattle drive. It has more flavor as it ages, which is good.

Had one of those once. Funny, though. Every morning it was empty. Gave up on it. :(

This strip accurately sums up Rat as a whole.

Bring back the Crocs!
