Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 03, 2016

Now Goat can’t say he wasn’t warned.

If Rat needs to get away from himself, maybe Auric Goldfinger can help; he’s quite skilled at laser surgery.

Well, Rat finally admits he’s a jerk. Most unusual. Maybe one of his clones is returning to the strip and is slightly defective. Or is holding a grudge against Rat.

A flea and a fly in a flueWere imprisoned, so what could they do?Said the fly, “let us flee!”“Let us fly!” said the flea.So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

Ogden Nash

I think that should be, “Fleas. With my kind, always fleas.”

“With my kind, always flee.”.You’ve heard the expression “like rats deserting a sinking ship”, of course? Had to come from somewhere.

Just don’t look at a mirror.

Rat time to set a trap for yourself !

So that’s why his ships always sink.

Guess that’s why his “kind” never have conventions….hopefully

Just a jerk around Goat? What about Pig…and Zebra…and Stephan Pastis…and Larry…basicially everyone

I think the word is FLEA

Unfortunately, Rat’s kind loves being with themselves and assumes that everyone else does, too. In the real world, that is.

So Rat has fleas? Or did they flee?

Misery hates company.

xxx

I’m worried.Rat seems…not well. Out of sorts. Too sane.Something is wrong! Has Cartoon-Boy been taken hostage and replaced by some PC Police agent?

some very deeeeep insights rat – and yes with your kind fleeing is the best or at least de-fleaing if that’s all you can do

The funniest part of this is their deadpans xD

A rare moment of self awareness from Rat.
