Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 19, 2012

Rat: Why are bald, skinny guys with glasses and neatly trimmed beards always so awkward and lonely? Goat: Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's what's called a blatant over-generalization. And when you make a statement like that, it makes you look uninformed. Rat: Really? Goat: Really. Rat: Why are homely goats always so argumentative?

He’s still uninformed…

Rat is actually being fairly specific there. He was actually being more polite than usual, by not referring SPECIFICALLY to the bald skinny guy with glasses and a neatly trimmed beard who was right next to him.

Is the bald, skinny guy with glasses and a neatly-trimmed beard a hipster?

Of all facial hair choices, that is the most vile. Unless you’re Amish.

Hey Rat…Kiss my Grits!

Lessee! Homely goat or awkward and lonely bald, skinny guy? I’d say your choices are pretty limited, Rat. What you need for a buddy is, oh, say, how about a fat, naive, pink pig?

And there Rat goes again, generalizing like the imbecile he is. Funny how he himself has no girlfriend, save his on again off again germaphobic girlfriend, and sister of his housemate, Pigita (who’ll dump him for Dilbert or that “real man” Ziggy). And whenever he get’s around a beautiful woman he becomes extremely awkard and she has to hope she doesn’t slip in the puddle of drool.

I’d vote for the hirsute gentlemen of limited means in “Candorville.” (See September 13, 2012 [esp. the white one].)

No offense, but that sounds a little homely-phobic

And why are you so stupid and annoying, Rat?

Why are unshaven cartoonists so judgmental?

@jukeofurlI totally agree. I hate when men have beards and no moustache.

I must say that Goat is wrong. Rat doesn’t look uninformed when he makes blatant over-generalizations like that. He looks like a prejudiced loser and jerk.

Do you ever wonder about strippers who rate the attractiveness of livestock? ’Round these parts we treat folk who describe goats or sheep as attractive or unattractive quite harshly, especially same-sex livestock attractions.

Rat’s gonna look funny stuck on Goat’s horn some day.
