Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 12, 2012

He hates Satan doing the Polka

With friends like Rat, who needs enemies?

the look on rat’s face … hahahaahahaaaaa

since when was Rat a fan of Alfred Yankovic?

I have seen it all: a rat in lederhosen.

Alfred, is that the dad or Wierd AL Yankovic.

Polka would be bad, but not half as bad as dubstep.

Polka dissed again. Grrr…..

At least it’s not the bagpipes …

Rat, he needa polka widda sharpa stick.

All is revealed!RAT IS SATAN is Pastis’s alter ego; umm….…………………………………………………………..Yes, scpandich, there seems to be some intolerance of polka here. And then there is the dislike of bagpipes! How can anyone dislike the pipes? Whether Scottish, or Irish, or Greek, Turkish, Hungarian, or any other variety of bagpipe anywhere across much of Europe and the Near East and beyond, they are delightful instruments!

I can’t stand madonna. Kill me first.

The scarier thought is… Where did Rat learn how to Polka?

Really LOL, the rat let me think of the film Ratatouille

I despise Rat..but I like Poka music and if that’s Hell…it ’s got to beat fire. LOL

Bagpipe music sounds a lot like our sump pump running.

Polkageist.

A wunnerfull, wunnerful . . . ☻

THIS! IS! HILARIOUS!

Polka bums – every time I think of Polka, I think of John Candy in “Home alone”. That’s just sad – Polka deserves better.

Paging Barry Mitchell

Hey. News got you down? Come on, let’s… POLKA!

Diabolical Rat. Susceptible Pig. Nonsensical No-Nonsense Goat. That’s a pretty elaborate practical joke there. V. nicely stage-managed. Anybody for a Snipe Hunt?

I can take Polka music for only 3 hours or 12 beers; whichever comes first.

Well, this time pig got his goat. Or goat got rat’s goat…

A polka nightmare.

lololololol Too funny!

some people like polka, and some people like rebecca black and justin bieber.

Wait Goat- maybe some of us wanted to hear the lullaby…I’m sure it would have been sweet.

The cool thing is that Goat smelled a Rat and stuck around instead of going home. Yea, Goat!

I’ve always believed that if you were bad in life, you’d be forced to watch Adam Sandler movies for eternity…

Does Rat realize that he just outed himself as an accordion player?

GRRRRRRR. That Rat is such a…….Rat.

I laughed out VERY loud at this.

Pig’s face is priceless.

xxx

So funny!! I play accordion too, but not Polka…

…roll out the barrel…

The accordion is bad enough.

Vade Retro, Satanas! It works better in Latin, Pig [no pun intended].Ire vel ego mitterent vobis has been known to work wonders, as well.

I remember a strip where on the coastline, Rat mentions that very subject of Polka and Satan inventing the accordian.

It’s not polka—it’s Duran Duran.

Rat missed what Pig just called him. If he’d have paid any attention he’d know exactly where he’s going when he dies again.

Looking for da twin sisters: Anna1, Anna2

Did you see the look on pig’s face in the 2nd-to-last panel??!Also, in that same panel, why does it say “more polka?”

My favorite strip. I should use this as my prof pic.

Run, pig! RUN!!

it… it … burns

Panel 8 is my profile picture now

I mean, for all we know Rat could be right.
