Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 08, 2019

Think about moving to a better neighborhood.

That explains a lot, actually.

It could be that Rat is doped by something, that’s why he did not understand the sentence.

… but that same guy on the corner also offers me Hope every night.

Rat better get glasses (no, not drinking glasses in which to pour his beer)

If you live in a state with recreational marijuana, it turns out those guys now have little shops and they’re on almost every corner. Crazy world.

I’d enjoy Rat’s rendition of “Because I Got High”…

See that lonely man there on the corner, what he is waiting for I don’t know. But he waits there every day, and he’s waiting for something to show……

Ha ha ha

Now we know what the Rat is always high on.

Rat has high hopes on it!

Hey it could of said “Pope” ……. Croc Power !

Same answer.

Isn’t a high rat called a bat?

I thought the answer was something like that, but with a different angle.

I love a good guffaw in the morning!

As they said in the 60’s, “No hope without dope.”

Go a few strips over and see Uncle Cap’n, he has kids making meth. :-)

Sometimes, they’re the same thing.

So THIS is why RAT is so irrational and off the wall….

State sovereignty…the start of your google search.

Rat, you’re a dope.

Here’s Tom Lehrer’s “The Old Dope Peddler” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTfuGeKPsZM

And there, in a nutshell, is the reason for the U.S. declining longevity.

Yes, I positively think the guy on the corner has some good crack for sale!

Ignore that comment. We don’t have problems in our cities. Keep arguing about Russians and immigrants, congress.

Rat, you dope, need some “synthetic or injectable” hope? Oh, wait, I sent my stash to the Pope. Will have to wait till he pays me with his Pitcoins. (“P” stands for “Pope”, or so I’ve heard).

My friend is both a pig farmer and an enthusiastic knitter. In good weather, he sits outdoors and purls before swine.

Where’s the cartoon censor when you need him?

Yes, but, who in the world offers you meth?

Hi welcome to Chili’s

Hi

There is no hope without dope.

Is his name Dave?

Maybe Dave’s not here.

“Why’s that guy offer you hope?” Isn’t that rather poor grammar for Goat?

My plumber’s been using dope at work for about 40 years now. With pipes, and joints.

Well, Rat is a California rat, so I am not surprised that he’s living the High Life.

Gook luck with that, Rat….

And the censors let this through?
