Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 02, 2022

Very active.

Makes it easier to know when to tell Rat to fv€k off.

To be passive-aggressive, you need to know then meaning of “subtle”. That’s not in Rat’s vocabulary.

Also, he doesn’t have a split personality; he doesn’t even have one.

Know thy self, eh Rat?

More like pre-emptive aggressive.

Massive aggressive.

argumentatively so . . . !

C’mon, Goat … you knew that!

So what’s new about that, Rat?!

He never passes on aggressive.

Rat is beyond passive aggressive

Step away from the GOAT, RAT!

I would consider Rat to be super-aggressive.

At least Rat is honest.

Yeah, he’s so aggressive… I don’t know how to explain it.

I prefer the term ‘assertive’ but can work with aggressive. Rather know right up front what someone is on about than have to figure it out and be party to a 50 year feud over misinterpretation.

A few too many people are these days.

I would say asking someone else if they think they’re passive aggressive is kind of passive aggressive.

a face kicker in a world of backstabbers.

Passive-aggressive refers to a particular action. Everyone commits passive-aggressive actions at times.

TOMORROW—-a guest appearance by Herman&Katnip

remember it’s @ before # except after $

Diogenes, upon meeting Rat: “I can finally put out my lantern.”

Ummm, I think that’s simply aggressive. Anything else would be redundant.

two questions, ..who colorizes the comic strip and does he ever get a storyline where he just starts coloring things in random orders? Who the heck is adding all the zippitone dots to everything? God help us if they banded together one day

One could be aggressively passive, too.

Why is everyone tip toeing around it? It’s simply an A$$hole.

New one on m. But it certainly is accurate for Rat.

He’s honest enough to admit it. More than most….

Where are the guys with white coats when you need them, Goat?

I like that Rat is so straight-forward! No excuses, no soft-pedaling. Just good old In Your Face!

Goat has been actively warned!!

Viva la vida
