Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 18, 2020

Rat is triggering me to punch him in the face.

OK, millennial.

trigger Rat a third time and what will you have to get him?

This comic strip has triggered me. Everyone send me your money.

“Trigger” seems to be a very good way to exploit folks who don’t like to actually trigger people.

Scratch scratch scratch… sorry about that I have an itchy trigger finger.

Beer and fries…vegan!!

Dang snowflake.

See if you can find out what else triggers him. I suggest trampling.

Let’s all trigger Rat and watch him suffer; there’s nothing to watch on TV.

Mind you, I remember when Trigger was Roy Roger’s horse.

Sounds exactly like my ex-wife.

Daddy, why did you eat my fries?

I bought them

And they were mine

But you ate them

Yeah you ate my fries

And I cried

But you didn’t see me cry

Gave him that old favorite brand for rats, “Strychnine”.

This strip has triggered me, but the creator doesn’t have anything worth suing for. Therefore I’ll sit in a corner yelling at invisible ghosts.

Look cheap crybaby Rat go stand in line and buy your own fries stop being lazy ! … Croc Power !

Send in Trigger to horse to up the anti.

Those fries look overheated to me. MICROWAVE AGGRESSION!

“Fetch me ma gun, Martha. I’m gonna trigger Rat!”

Blend “everyone is special” with assertiveness training and what do you get?

What has changed in our psyche with the triggers being acknowledged rather than suppressed?

Rat is “goating” you goat, WAKE UP!

What’s funny to me is how differently this joke would land in different crowds.

Goat should respond the first time with, “Have the breakdown. I’ve never seen one.”

I think Rat had a strained relationship with his family.

Funny how “triggers” work for those who don’t actually suffer from any diagnosed anxiety disorder.

You can buy Don Jr’s book Triggered for $2.50 now.

Rat went to YouTube and self-diagnosed himself with affluenza.

Goat should take Rat for a second opinion – Croc this time.

Yes, yes, we must pamper our children (bring him some popcorn from the Public Bowl, that even lepers use, toutes de suite before he throws a fit.)

I’m easily triggered.

Rat’s theft of Goat’s fries is part of a nefarious plot orchestrated by Vladimir Poutine.

People like this are called choosing beggars because they think they have the power to command other people to give them their stuff when they are “offended.” Toxic, totally toxic.

Put rat in a canon and then “trigger” him.

The key to someone saying you triggered them is to reply with, “Oh good, can I do it again?”

Hilarious Mr. Pastis, keep up the excellent work.

If something I do triggers you, it probably best you don’t let me know it. Because I’ll just keep doing it.

Welcome to the 21st century, Goat.

Quick, bring rat some whipped cream pie toot sweet and sling it in his face!

time in the corner time out dunce hat

Personally, I would reply “I’ve never seen an emotional breakdown, do go on. Good thing I have fries to eat during the show.”

Goat needs to use a fork. It’s a great deterrent.

I’d have let him suffer an emotional breakdown. In this case, it would have done him some good.

I see Rat has found “The Snowflake Loophole” and is exploiting it to the max.

It’s Cartoon-Boy vs. the Millennials!

May the best triggerman win!

Sounds like a democrat. They don’t like the First Amendment either…

Trigger me once, shame on me. Trigger me twice, shame on you …

This SPECIFIC strip perfectly explains the fascism principle of the Left, constantly demanding appeasement to “avoid” being “triggered” and to compel compliance from others. An entire culture of mini-Hitlers is the result.
