Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 28, 2015

Rat is doing the world a favor by covering up his face.

Rat’s heroes are Cheech and Chong.

Looks like a Mexican Amish blind guy.

Hmm. Microagression?

A real drug smuggler would say: Passport? We don’t need no stinking passport!

Try wearing a burqa and invoking the First Amendment!

If Rat’s not in jail tomorrow, then this guy really does work for the government.

“Reason you need a passport?”

“So I can smuggle cocaine into the country and sell it on the streets in order to make a huge profit and put the meth dealer on the corner by my house out of business”

“Ok, just as long as you do not intend to do anything illegal.”

Sounds like how some of our government employees are going these days. And about like TSA agents who confiscate a school teacher’s cupcake given to her by a student because “it might be an explosive device.” BS it was a possible explosive device, they just wanted a snack.

Looks like Rat is one toke over the line.

@John Smith—Rat does have a point. He’s wearing the sombrero to cover it!

Rat is up-front about his intent, but has to hide his real face to avoid drug cartel retaliation. The gummymint is just a helpless bystander….

Senor Rat

Arianne gave you the tease; here’s the greatest rock band ever performing the song at Woodstock…We’re Not Gonna Take It

Better hope Donald Trump does not find you out Sir Rat!

Rat n’ Roll is hear to stay!!!

Rat n’ Roll is hear to stay!!!

Rat’s being honest, if he’s going to wear the same disguise while smuggling.

He doesn’t need the disguise. We all know Pastis’ artistic abilities, and it’s unlikely that any other rats would look at all different.

Rat’s true motives are revealed!

I wish Pastis and Trudeau could do a mash-up of the adventures of Rat and Duke.

I had to bring my own photo to the post office for my passport.

But I could get a free one at the AAA office.

I’ve only had one passport which was 10 years ago.

Rat looks ridiculous. And I like it!

i tend to instinctively squint when posing for a photo. the passport photographer had a ton of trouble getting a picture where you could see the color of my eyes.my dad once said we could never get a picture with my eyes open or my grandmother’s mouth closed

Rat must be a Moose Limb.

I don’t know why I’m friends with him
