Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 11, 2023

We all have our priorities.

We ain’t all saints, and we ain’t all jerks; most of us are somewhere in between that woman and Rat.

Typical rat

You can get followers by letting people who control Russian Bots know that you support Russia.

the internet is not wearing any clothes!

I have never understood how Goat and Rat have somehow remained friends/acquaintances. I guess they are connect via their mutual friend Pig and obviously also live in the same neighborhood so they frequent the same cafe and bar.

Are there no work houses? The prisons, are they all full?

Rat wins… eh or maybe not, I guess it depends on your humanity.

rat isn’t entirely wrong

Food for thought, if you can still afford to eat…

Rat, Pig, and Goat are actually 3 sides of the same person: all of us. Selfishness/Greed, Ignorance/Appetite, and Refinement/Intellect. It’s kind of the same thing James Dickey did in Deliverance and Mario Puzo did in Godfather: taking the different, sometimes opposing, characteristics which we all have in varying degrees, and magnifying them by personifying them in different people.

I found out about followers. and I thought I was just insulting everybody…….

Rat your accomplishments do little to advance Humanity as the woman has done!

Rat must have a busy life as an internet troll.

There are selfless souls among us, and then there are those for whom everything has to be about them. Not that I’m alluding to anyone in particular mind you…..

Fake news.

Didn’t they make a movie about that where one goes on to the NFL and claims none of it happened kind of blind siding her?

For some life is not (at all) about what you can do for others, life is only about what can others do for you.

When someone successful dies, you wonder if you’ll ever have a legacy or succeed in anything at all.

Priorities baby!

RAT will never get it….Pig is hopeless

A lady in Memphis who worked with at risk youth was shot and killed in a car jacking by a young man who had just been released from jail. He was wearing an ankle monitor at the time.

To each his own values and priourities.

Some people want to make a difference. Go for it, just so long as the difference you’re making is greater than zero.

14 – 2 = 12 is a good difference, but 2 – 14 = -12 is not.

Oh Goat, you know not to say anything like that to Rat.

The “Twitter Disease” has spread almost everywhere online. The smartest people in the world tell you how stupid you are and who you should or shouldn’t vote for. Comments on music and bands have turned assoholic!!!

Everyone has they’re own messed up priorities. Overall Rating: 9/10 | Art Rating: 7/10 | Punchline Rating: 8.5/10

“If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.” -Desiderata

That’s the strangest looking goat I have ever seen.

Attachments are for vacuums, and they suck. You be you. I’ll be me. Only then can you be one with everything, because who doesn’t love a good everything pizza.

classic. his priorities

Not quite the point Goat was making.

Can you say King Narcissist, Rat?

Goat and Rat are needed to create comic tension. Pig is in there for comic relief. The Puns are just baaad – but sometimes clever.
