Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 14, 2011

Typical ignorance, sneer at something you dont understand and make a joke out of it so you dont feel stupid…poor rat

@ GI_CRANDELL: Hey, it worked for Bush in 2004 …

Say I didn’t get that,even knowing french,french toast,french frys and the best, french made.come on folks, I spell better than that.

Rat’s in his “Disturbo” mode………without the mask.

I sympathize with Goat and think Rat boorish; but I do not like Nouvelle Vague films….

Goat, you should know by now, Rat NEVER tells the truth !

I woulda just clubbed goat with a beer can half way through the second panel.

Kind of weird how fatface rhymes with ratface…

Have you noticed in 400 blows that the boy ages? Either it took a long time to film or the director waited for it.

Hard to believe rat could pass up the opportunity to make something of the title “400 blows.” I suppose even Stephan has to make sure the strip is printable in family papers.

He should have gotten a signed statement—and maybe even checked to be sure it was notarized.

Ken, voting Mormon this year?…..It’s the only shot conservatives have………………

That should be “pretentious fatface.” I think most people understand why they don’t enjoy something. It’s like saying somebody has a short attention span when they click past some dumbass court show, Dr. Phil type crap or the repetitive news. . ..

You better be careful Rat.. Or Goat will bring a fist to YOUR face.

LOL xxx

To paraphrase one of Truffaut’s lines in my favorite movies, “Goat belongs here more than Rat.”

@Proginoskes And people whined about me getting political. This strip has nothing to do with Bush.

At least Goat is smart enough to know what Rat will say.

Let’s hope he’s smart enough some day to ignore Rat.

I like how furniture in the Pearls world is mostly pillows.

SM ……more smarter?

Everyone understands that these are jokes right? I always see comments critiquing the actions of the characters as though they were real and their flaws were not intentional. It seems they want the characters to act normal and rational. Yes it’s an assinine and ignorant reaction, that’s why it’s funny. Do you really want to read a strip where they rationally and intellectually discuss the nuances??

nouvelle vague was ok
