Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 25, 2020

One would think Goat would know better than to call Rat in a situation like this.

It’s so cold with nobody to hold me / You’re so wrong for leaving when you told me / You would never leave me by myself / Out in the middle of nowhere / Now I’m lost / Trying to make it on my own / I thought I could never do this, / But now I’m walking by myself / Out in the middle of nowhere …

If you look around you might find Spike

Maybe he should call Zeeba, these hoofed guys help each other out.

The nice thing about nowhere is that any direction you go will be somewhere.

I had no idea that Paris was in the middle of a desert.

(Only true PB4S fans will get that.)

I wonder if Pastis is deliberately channeling the whole gun problem here…

And we all know what use thoughts and prayers are.

Rat prays ?

Saguaro cactus, that kind of narrows where he is.

Goat needs a more reliable go-to.

Much worse than being on the edge of nowhere.

Sure, if life was Facebook.

Goat if this happens again tell Rat there is a case of Beer for coming to get you ! … Croc Power !

No navigation on his phone?

In the fourth panel the truck of Thoughts’n’Prayers Towing inc. arrives at Goat’s car…

Goats thinking ….you know what you can do RAT, with your thoughts and prayers don’t ya? Sigh

Pretty much nailed the problem with the American church- mired in politics rather than looking for ways to help those around them, actually loving their neighbors.

Had a man once bring a trimmer into the shop to get worked on. When he came to pick it up and I told him the bill he just said “And God will bless you.” Picked up the trimmer and headed to the door. I yelled at him “You still have to pay the bill!” He just looked at me dumb founded. He said again “And God will bless you.” and turned to the door. I said “If you go out that door with the trimmer without paying I am calling the police.” He looked so confused. He laid the trimmer down and walked out. Some one else came later and paid the bill. He really though that stupid saying was going to cover his bill.

You jerk. Maybe Goat should call Zebra.

Rat should run for the Senate, that’s their standard response whenever there is a disaster

“If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled’, without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?” James 2:15-16

Or really caring.

If he’s stranded in the middle of nowhere, how does he have cell service?

Goat’s mistake was calling Rat for help.

Funny thing is, Pig would’ve said the same thing but without realizing the sarcasm.

LOL! Rat, is such a great friend! Uh, where exactly was, Goat traveling to??

Beam him up, Scotty, beam him up!!!!!

Now we know what to do about the Coronavirus.

Well, I guess I’m really beating this dead horse even more, but I’m still going to observe that as useless as “Prayers” are to the suffering, “Thoughts” are even less useful.

He’d make a great politician. Because that is all that most of their promises amount to.

Click the like button. That’s even easier.

I did the same for a co-worker stuck on Chicago I-Roads during a major blizzard. I just hoped her I-Pass wasn’t tracking her. Eventually she just ran out of gas idling.

Part is, not wanting to be conspicuous by your absence.

Why would you call Rat? You need help …

And yet if the roles were reversed Rat would take a bat to Goat when he managed to get back.

If you really, really care, you throw rolls of paper towels.

In Rat’s case, it’s definitely an improvement over “getting up”….

Say something, Pig. Anything!

Thoughts and prayers… It seems like you most commonly hear politicians say that when there is a mass shooting.

you know this comic really pissed me off at first, and I’m glad I didn’t have a chance to respond until now. But the world mocks Christians for thoughts and prayers because indeed too many of us only offer thoughts and prayers. The reality is we Christians are supposed to be the first responders. We should be so busy that we should simply reply, we didn’t have time for thoughts and prayers we were too busy responding to what God told us to do in the first place.

Reminds me of that president rat strip…

That plane crash?Send them our thoughts & prayersThe shootings?Thoughts and prayers.Climate change protest? THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

Was Goat driving through the world of Krazy Kat?

rats thoughts and prayers: please let goat die in the middle of the desert

Oddly, I sometimes hope I get into a situation like the one Goat is in, so I can put my problem-solving skills to the test.

Lol
