Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 05, 2024

And the ones that don’t reject him will probably make him their king.

Almost a chicken don’t make no soup.

Or at least low places!

If Rat is your friend, you don’t need any enemies.

Going places? Is that another way of saying he’s been kicked out of all the places he’s coming from?

Goat honestly is a friend because he says it as it is.

My advice to you, Rat: You should take it as one.

‘Öh, the places you’ll go."Dr. Seus. He wouldn’t send Rat to bad places, even if he’d been a bad boy that day. We all have a little Rat in us.

Quantity before quality! (Except alphabetically, of course.)

WAS a compliment!

He will go wherever the Dept of Corrections sends him,

I gotta take my jabs any chance I can get.

“Good girls go to Heaven, and bad girls go everyplace they want to!”

I’ll attribute it to Mae West and/or Dorothy Parker.

Not exactly. The Count cannot see Rat (nor The Count’s self) in any Blue sanctuary city. Esp one by a racist head case DEI mayor. BUT… on the bright side… Elon and Vivek are comin’ to git you, suckkah. Dilly! Dilly! And God Bless America!

‘High friends in low places.’ I forget who sang it, but it was on the C&W charts 50 years ago.

Love the use of the Peanut’s wall. Well done!

Wow, I can’t believe it!!!! GOAT is ACTUALLY “stepping up,” and actually being NICE to, and/or copying, RAT, for the second(2nd) time in two(yes, 2, again) days!!!! No wonder they are ACTUAL friends, NOT just people who tolerate each other!!!!!! Dan aka…ps It blows my mind, man, TRUE FRIENDSHIP will NEVER stop being awesome!!!!!!

One place he could go is the exterminator’s wall.

I’m getting the feeling that Goat just gave Rat what’s known as a Stealth Insult, according to TVTropes.

With Rat, I’m surprised at the “almost.”

The hell you say!

I know I won’t be lonely; all of my friends will be with me. Except my friend from third grade. She married a minister so I guess I won’t be seeing her.

If that was almost a compliment what…?

Rat’s next words will likely be; “Where are we going and what am I doing in this handbasket?”

He has friends in those low places.

Of course, he’s a rat. I wonder if he leaves his droppings everywhere too?

Rat is facing directly away from Goat and George and doesn’t react even though Goat is clearly trying to introduce him. I know Rat’s unlikely to have much interest in meeting George but it still looks weird.

He’ll be looking for love in all the wrong places

Compliments are in short supply so I’d take it

Good one, Goat. But what do you suppose has gotten into him lately.

I’ve got friends in high places. Unfortunately they’re all hangmen

To a family reunion down to the Garbage Dump.

lotta days i don’t have to go anywhere, and imo that’s a goood thing.

My brain be like

Left handed complient

Hanging around Rat is educational.

IS THAT THE GUY FROM TOM AND JERRY!!!?
