Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 28, 2011

Cheese covered fried Twinkies, urp…

And if you’re Oprah, you can do it over and over and over and over….

Over the Hedge has a cheese and twinkies theme as well.

Rat missed a step. He didn’t get famous first.

That said ditching weight is a great way to get noticed. I’ve lost almost 50pds since last november. I’ve lost track of the number of people commenting on it. Unfortunately their coworkers/neighbors/family and not hot single girl’s.

Oh, I could vomit…

Cheese-covered fried Twinkies — Yum. But they forgot the chicken-fried batter and the bacon wrap.

Needs Gravy.

A moment of silence for the inventor of Doritos, please.

I once lost 175 pounds of ugly fat. It’s called a divorce.

At Rat’s level of infamy, he’ll be lucky to get a gig doing Jenny Craig commercials…

Li’l Guard Duck has switched his allegiance from Pig to Fat Rat?! This is alarming!

Rat: that’s called “delusion.”

so – queso w/twinkies on OTH and cheese covered fried twinkies here. did they coordinate strips today?

Pastis quit looking over Lewis and Fry’s shoulders!

I’d rather eat zeeba meat.

If I’m gonna die FROM my last meal, I think I’d opt for that Krispy Kreme Donut Burger.

What a fat rat…..

monkey bread with bacon… (sorry pig)

Two lost campers were crawling accross the desert, starving…. saw what appears to be a tree on the horizon… looking for shade they made there way as fast as they could…. getting closer they could smell bacon…. mmmm!!! Could it be?…. a bacon tree??? Delerious they started running as fast as they could… the aroma was intoxicating…!!!!! As they neared the tree a sniper popped up over a dune and opened fire…..!!!!! Thats no bacon tree…!!!!!

wait for it…

it’s a….

it’s a ….

hambush!!!!!

I guess the deep fried Snickers bars were just the hors d’oeuvres.

Why are his ears fat but not his nose?

If a cat won’t be called upon to destroy this evill rodent, ,maybe a ton of fat will. flagfly

He looks cute like that…

LOL LOL xxx

That was not smart. Then again, smarts don’t factor in to whether or not you get rich.

Have you thought about taking up a hobby?

Damn,now i have to go get the above,so I will have a good breakfast.

Normally, when people start this process, they’re already rich.

Rat is ready for Dancing With The Stars. None of them are actually famous, either.

Next step: Rat will start a magazine called R, and have his own picture on every single cover. That’s how much of a shameless ego freak he is.

Now that Rat’s filled with twinkies inside of him, someone should deep fry him in fat.

Actually Rat doesn’t have to lose the weight, he can just spout insanities and stupidities like Michael Moore

I didn’t watch THE OPRAH SHOW very often, but I think people connected with her genuine concern about whatever she was talking about. If she was faking, she did it very well. Ellen DeGeneres has a similar following and her good deeds seem to be genuinely offered.

Clever… notice how Twinkies is in quotation marks in the last panel (as in not twinkies, but artificially twinkie-flavored Brillo pads)
