Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 31, 2021

I’ll come for the meet and greet if there is also eat and drink.

I like a meat and dessert.

Rat is seafood type:

If he sees food, he’ll collect all and go.

I am a friendly introvert (I call it “mesovert”). I’m just fine in a group of people I know, mostly. And I actually enjoy meeting new people (though I’ll forget names in under a minute, usually) as long as I’m enjoying the situation. But I’ve also walked out of more than one “party” when I just couldn’t STAND it any more. Sometimes in the first 15 minutes. Once, when attending with then-Spouse, I was prepared to walk more than 7 miles, at night, in hilly country if I got home before she found me along the route. (Actually less than 2 miles, though I had nearly reached the top of the highest point on the road).

A see and flee party, good one!

I’m with Rat on this one.

Drink and drop.

‘See and flee’…I like it.

Assuming I actually like the other people I’m inviting, I think that’s about as close as I want Rat to get anyway.

Well Rat that just leaves more Beer for the rest of the group ;-)

You can send Rat a “Thank you for not staying” note afterward.

A drivebye.

I prefer a “Sure and Nope.” Sure I’ll come, nope can’t make it.

This strip should of run a year ago.

And I’m ok with that.

Gooooooooooooood morning, Pearls fans! Is Rat an introvert? I totally agree. Happy Memorial Day and have a good rest of your Monday! (If that’s possible)

Rat is one to eat and run.

I like it!

No thanks, I hear card carrying Republicans and Democrats will be there, so I’ll just read the results in the news.

Rat has a see and flea party.

I’ll wave back… and smile.

Rats an introvert? LOL

Coronavirus does things to peoples social life

See and Flee? I thought Rat was more the See and Fleece type.

Drive-by socializing.

Who is meeting who ? Are they going to try and sell me Amway products ? Is it BYOB ?

The man is at least honest……

I’m a hide and bide.

You and me both, rat :-D

Re: yesterday’s strip (O.K. I’m late….): Well played, Mr. Pastis…..VERY well played………

Today is my third dinner party of the weekend. If one more person tells me what they’ve been binge watching or why they still refuse to get vaccinated, I won’t be responsible for my actions.

Cookies and Munchies.

How about a blunder and plunder?

Just ask how much beer Rat wants to come over. As long as its not so much to ruin your function.

Another phrase PBS phrase I will start using.

Rat doesn’t have a bad idea there.

Eat and Retreat for me.

Wave from the porch? Aargh! Too much socializing!

My idea of a good social occasion.

If Rat is coming, everyone else will do a see and flee.

Dine and dash…Rat would like my t-shirt that says, “Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want To come”

Loot and scoot. I’ve had several of those show up at parties. I had one eat the entire dinner 3 lb smoked salmon filet.

See and flee! That’s me.

I kinda share Rat’s social instinct, but without his flair….

you have a proch

Like me with the food: Consume and then Vroom. v

Well, what did Goat expect him to say?
