Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 07, 2023

That’s because they don’t have good pizza in California.

How do you leave out bacon? It makes everything better1

I need to amass money so I can stop experiencing a broken-down car.

But does Mexican food like you?

Not beer??

In this uncertain world, it’s good to have one thing that you are sure about.

¡Ay carramba! Obviously good reason why Rat no likes Chinese foods.

Why isn’t Rat singing: “As a matter of fact, I like beer.”

That’s why they call him G.O.A.T.

What if my instinct is to amass things?

I am with you, Rat, 100%.

He’s reaching his middle age? That means Goat must be at least six years old.

Following your instincts can put you in jail.

Nothing is for sure in todays world….

Dunno, Rat. Think you like beer, too.

Have lots of cheese and beer and make amass.

Most of the things I’ve learned can be summed up as TANSTAAFL.

I don’t like to eat Mexicans. They’re always a bit chewy and spicy. Beef is better…

Middle age? Hah! I’ve left “middle age” so far back in the rear-view mirror, it’s now dropped permanently over the horizon! (And though I love Mexican food, the aftereffects are just too ghastly to contemplate anymore.)

Now that I’ve become gluten intolerant in my old age I have discovered that Mexican food is generally low in that toxic substance because the serve corn chips and taco shells instead of bread.

I agree with the things Goat has learned. I haven’t had Mexican food in ages, so I don’t know if we get along any more.

I would’ve expected Goat wrote “Follow your dreams“ for number 3, in keeping with today’s endemic platitudes.

I followed my instincts to amass things, not experiences.

I like Mexican food, too. Probably one of my favorite types… ethnicities…? of food.

What about beer?

Just not CHIPOTLE Mexican food

Combined, I accept both.

Question for you Goat—what if my instinct is to amass things?

“I prefer Italian.”

Petition to stop this joke.

Also Indian.

I like Mexican food – especially huevos con chorizo! The problem is, Mexican food only likes me at lunchtime, not at suppertime.

For me, it’s Mexican food, pizza and Chinese food. That’s all I know.

I like comics!

Dat’s funny. He COULD end up doing the dance of the flaming bunghole !!!

I guess Rat only drinks Corona

At least Rat has one experience he enjoys.

Rat’s Uncertainty Principle: in case of doubt, order Mexican!

To be honest, I’ve heard worse.
