Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 20, 2020

Rat is going to have to atone for his atonement.

Rat gave up humility for Lent.

While you’re at it, apologize for what you’re going to do the remaining 101 days.

Rat has a lot to atone for. But he will still be Rat after he asks forgiveness, and he will do the same $#!+ all over again.

would Pig — being as not kosher as he is — misinterpret the Jewish holiday about a delicious fish (“yum, kipper”)

Tikhleh Shanah V’Kileloteha, Tahel Shanah U’Birkhoteha.

That’s next Sunday, but a good thought.

I used to know all that Jewish holiday stuff, learned from Jewish friends ar Emory University.

One thing I miss… the “tricorn hat” cookies that always appeared for Purim.

The fillings were pretty wonderful, even the very basic ones with prunes and apricots. But the two fillings that I really loved were the vanilla poppy seed ones and the rosewater pistachio marzipan ones.

I need to find a source for ready mades or follow one of the online recipes for these.

definitely need to give that a shot with the idiot neighbors…

Rachel you will need to teach Rat a tad bit more ;-) …. Croc Power !

LOL! Rat even has problems with a fake apology.

Rat is not one for apologizing.

Yom Kippur is like going to confession…..you are forgiven for all the misdeeds but then go out and commit them over and over again…..

“Am I my brother’s Kippur?”

First step in the New Year is repentance—getting right with God and man. Rat is still just a shaky novice at this, but let us at least give him (partial) credit for trying.

Besides, Neighbor Bobs exist to be abused….

I never realized that Rat doled out telepathic wedgies.

I always thought that the rhe High Holidays was where people went to temple and smoked dope.

Rat’s a natural at the public official/celebrity apology.

I thought it was going to lead to Rat going door to door expecting apologies

Shanah Tovah Umetukah. Have a Good and Sweet Year.

Did you hear that Yom Kipur is now available in a canister? It’s a toner cartridge.

Rat once again misses the forest for the trees. (Which Pig will take literally of course.)

Not unlike the deathbed absolution. Works wonders for us Catholics.

“Yon kipper hath a lean and hungry look..”
