Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 09, 2018

But the basketball is really, really small.

In terms of the basketball basket’s design, I smell a Rat…

I don’t know Thompson or Curry, but I do know a non-regulation hoop.

When the regulations talk about a 10 foot rim, they mean 10 feet from the floor, not 10 feet in diameter.

Wait a second, Steph…“RAT”, on a basketball court? For an HOUR?? With NO BEER CANS piled up?? And NOT using a ladder to drop the ball in the basket??

Are you pondering what I’m pondering? If Rats play basket ball, then where did the term “ball hog” come from? Wouldn’t it be a “ball rat”?

I am looking to see how fancy a dunk Rat can make. I mean with the basketball.

is this an example of net gain?

Who?

Put a lining on that thing, and you’ve got a wading pool. Then you can do all the dunking you want.

Let’s not give the Ball family any ideas. BBB, indeed!

Cheater!

Cartoon-Boy is right this time, Rat! In fact, we all know you’re cheating, probably just to feed your ravenous ego!

The score would certainly go up to 3-digits (maybe even 4-digits!) in the 2-digit scoreboard..
