Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 07, 2017

Rat, you’re forcing them to play their trump card.

Well that’s one way to tell Rat they’ll pass – Rat better take them seriously or they’ll redouble their efforts.

I see they reached a compromise!

They should have had an auction; there’d have been a lot of bidding for the chance to kneecap Rat.

Rat, whether it comes to you or you come to it, you shouldn’t cross that bridge club.

Rat should try channeling Dr. Johnny Fever.

Rat got his, in spades.

LOL

Aim a little higher and a little to the right, Gramdma.

Never underestimate well armed Old People.

Confused: are these the bridge lovers who live underneath the things?

Gunplay beats cardplay every time.

It’s like Ted Kennedy said, “We’ll drive off that bridge when we get to it”.Cheap shot!

Don’t mess with the old folks. They got nothing to lose…

Do people still play Bridge??

Those seniors are more Gory than Goren.

So this isn’t about infrastructure improvements?

Rat didn’t deserve that.

He should have been shot in both knees!

xxx

What you need is to get a cat into his office, and then watch the fun…

Omar, where are you when you’re needed for a re-pun-something or other.. (I can’t think up something that I found no use for in the papers for the past 70 years)

Sounds like they’re Rat’s kind of people!

Yeah, yeah, yo! Bust a ’cap on him, Granny!

AOF rocks! That’s Armed Old Folks!

Rat’s out of his lane; puzzles and such come under the lifestyle editor’s control.

Rat, that is what you get for dealing them a bad hand.

What? No Nancy Kerrigan references? Sheesh …

Ooooh rat got shot AGAIN

Give us back our bridge or we’ll throw you off one!

Will this comic make sense in 50 years when there’s no more elderly bridge lovers?
