    Do you think Rat carries those four signs everywhere or just has one magical sign that can change its text?

    Remember when comic strips didn’t dare use language like “shove it”?

    Puppies and rainbows. When puppies die they are said to go over the rainbow bridge.

    Do rainbows have anything to do with a recent Supreme Court ruling?

    Goat was only trying to relate the neighbor’s new puppies were excited to see Rat’s rainbow bedding and had an accident.

    On the other hand, there’s nothing quite as annoying as a Pollyanna who can find the silver lining in a cloud of you know what that’s busy blowing your house away while you look on from your truck that just blew a gasket and anyway the bank is gonna repossess it next week unless you win the lottery.

    Goat is lucky he is not wearing that sign. Rat does speak for many of us. It is tough to watch the news nowadays! These comics are far better on the psyche!

    Nope – even rainbows have been politicized. How about unicorns and marshmallows instead?

    Yes, please enough with the disaster of the day news, the media won’t let us forget for one moment that we are all doomed. I turn off the news when it comes on, and I come here and to Comics Kingdom first thing in the morning instead of a news source. If I need to know what’s going on—I’ll ask Rat and then Pig can explain.

    Both my folks are in the hospital with COVID. I don’t give a rats behind about the he said/he said on capital hill anymore. Or what she says either. Unless they can all work together and actually accomplish something worthwhile, rather than bullying each other, I just don’t care anymore.

    But Rat could be nicer to Goat wanting to at least help him have a better mood.

    Wife: I don’t want ANY bad news!

    Man: Why can’t she have egg bacon bad news and sausage?

    Wife: THAT’S got bad news in it!

    Man: Hasn’t got as much bad news in it as bad news egg sausage and bad news, has it?

    Wife: Could you do the egg bacon bad news and sausage without the bad news then?

    Waitress: Urgghh!

    Wife: What do you mean ‘Urgghh’? I don’t like bad news!

    Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

    Waitress: Shut up!

    If the network news shows ONLY wanted to talk about Puppies and Rainbows for the rest of my life; I’d be just fine with it! (PS – don’t leave out the unicorns)

    Speaking of puppies and rainbows, in a Walgreen’s recently I encountered a shelf of soft toys which were adorable owlets with unicorn horns. I don’t offhand remember if they had tiaras, too.

    Begorrah. It’s sort of like the plot of “Princess Bride”.

    Rat has an abundance of rude posters, it seems. But in exchange for his silence they are a boon. So, give up, go home, stay quarantined, Goat….
