Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 15, 2021

Hermit lifestyle for Rat would be beneficial for all concerned.

And you annoy us, Rat.

No, Rat, it’s not you. It’s because everyone is annoying.

So, Rat, how are you going to get away from stupid people?

Maybe Rat should move to Mars, where there aren’t any people. Let’s send him there with the next Rover.

I’m reminded that we are told that Goddess loves us all. But you will note that she does it from a considerable distance!

I’d draw a conclusion but I don’t have a pencil.

tis and odd insult to your customers who follow your toon each day; if anything you are the source for gallows humor our comfort in dire times.

Become a Maytag Repairman Rat…

They put me in this straitjacket to protect me from all those crazy people.

If you think everyone is stupid, maybe it’s your attitude!

Psycho Killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?

Maybe it is you, Rat?

Your best course of action — avoid all people. Everyone will be happier.

Maybe Rat should quit going to Starbucks.

Rat you are the “POO” and people are acting like flies ;-)

reverse your polarity to repel them

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Rat should resume social distancing then ask anyone who approaches him whether they are vax’ed.

Live amongst de crocs

Maybe Rat should be a hermit and live on an island. That’s one way to get away from stupid people.

Rat is an introvert….he needs his space….

It’s really Pastis that draws…

Literally everyone?

Goat: Please don’t call me Shirley!

Should I be scared that I can somewhat relate to the first panel?

“If you meet an a**hole in the morning, you met an a**hole. If you meet a**holes all day long, you’re the a**hole.”—Raylan Givens, Justified.

The problem with stupid people like me is that its now too easy to find other stupid people.

He didn’t draw a particularly odd conclusion today – I find the ones where Rat is holding a baseball bat over the cartoonist a bit odder than this…

(ducks flying tomatoes)

Rat is definitely playing too many online shooters.

Rat would feel better if he were drawing a beer instead of odd conclusions!

Unlike many, Rat is correct in his use of the word “literally.”

Better than drawing even conclusions…

I wonder if Rat’s favorite movie is " The Terminator".

I know how he feels.

Rat should enroll in college.The worst you meet there is half-stupid.

I admit it – it’s me. I can handle people in very, very small doses. I was social distancing long before it became a real thing.

A true narcissist: It’s everybody else’s fault

Rat is the hero of his story; so everyone else is the villain.

You know, I’VE often felt the same — ehh never mind.

Hey, Goat, you need to give some thought to the possibility that Rat is right….

Rat, you can’t leave yourself.
