Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 21, 2014

The solution is simple — just stick everything in a shredder, starting with Rat.

RAT: You’ll excuse me, won’t you? I need to find my baseball bat. I think I see Stephan at the other end drawing more papers.GOAT: Long desk, isn’t it…

Like I said, a neat desk is a sign of a sick mind!

Looks like my desk. Good thing I’m retired.

Being a huge neat freak, my desk is the polar opposite of Rat’s…

Cluttered desk, cluttered mind?No – empty desk, empty mind.

That TV is a CRT with rabbit ears. He hasn’t cleaned in quite some time.

could STEPHEN be under there??

Burying people in paper can be used as a form of mummification by desiccation.The more you know!…

Rat had a Mummy?…yes, you silly twit!

We crazy desk people are a blob of seething resentment.

Maybe the Ratpack is in there?

A reasonable fear if you can’t remember where you hid the bodies.

Cockroach, fly, and mosquito bodies seem most likely, or a mouse and spider or two. Time for a dumpster run, Rat! Clean it out! Clean it all out!

Lots and LOTS of bodies……….

Rat, meet Shoe. Shoe, meet Rat.

I see Cosmo back there!

Rat apologised?

I knew an attorney many years ago whose desk looked like Rats. It would amaze me when he would pull out a case report for me to explain. How he knew exactly where it was just was amazing.Kind of like my wife’s handbag. How she knows which small bag its in……..

I am kinda offended he used my desk without permission.

A “train station” is where a train stops.A “bus station” is where a bus stops..At my desk, I have a “work station.”

Love this story arc! Keep the laughs coming, Stephan

Oh my.

Back when I was a practicing taxidermist this comic wouldn’t have been at all funny!
