Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 20, 2017

Mom just doesn’t get Stephan’s humor.

Technically, it’s true — a lot of people (myself included) wash their hair every day.

Rat’s just jealous…

Let’s have a toast to the best mother of any comic – Dorothy Mengering.

Don’t pigs have hair? They certainly don’t have fur.

Send the rat to sign the books. It’s the rat who entertains us, not Pastis!

Will Larry Croc be there ?

“How can I plug my book tour without it being too obvious…?”

Hmm. You don’t come close enough to me. Sorry.

subtle….

Who is this “Stephan Pastis,” Cartoon-Boy? Is he going around pretending to be you and taking credit [HA HA HA HAH!] for PBS?

What a racket!

Oh boy! I can’t wait for the tour dates to be announced! The last one was awesome!

I remember a hilarious Pearls Before Swine strip from a few years ago where Goat sends a “Poke” to Rat on Facebook. Rat turns up at Goat’s house and says “Did you give me a poke on Facebook?” Goat replies “Yes, I think so” Rat goes away and then return with a huge metal pipe (I think) and says “Poked you back”

Well, I reckon I could put it off til the next day.

Wait……The “book tour” is a real thing?

Rat actually did have hair at one point, and I thought his hairstyle looked cool. https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2011/04/01
