Transcript:
Goat: Have you ever read any books by this travel writer, Bill Bryson? His humor is amazing. How does someone write humor that well?
Pastis: Well, you...
Rat: Hush, you wouldn't know. The nerve.
Having read “A Short History Of Nearly Everything” and “At Home: A short history of private life”, which incidentally are not travelling books, I can say that Bill Bryson is a pretty darn good writer, Pastis or no Pastis.
Actually, too much of the crocs, zebra and especially the guard ducks would be a hindrance to the strip … a little of something every now and then and a lot of puns makes this strip go round …

Rat has no respect for his creator.
Rob Rex over 9 years ago
Does anyone?
Sherlock Watson over 9 years ago
You’re wrong, Rat — SP created you, and everyone says you’re the biggest joke in town.
knight1192a over 9 years ago
Rat’s one to talk about not knowing humor considering none of his comics are funny.

Maybe Goat would like to hear from Scott Adams or Jim Davis how it’s done instead of Stephan Pastis.

Ouch that was mean!

Take that, Cartoon-Boy! Skewered by your own creation!
Now, who’s The Man around here or at SDCC?!

I’m probably the only person in America who finds Bill Bryson overrated.

I find Bryson amusing, my wife finds him hilarious. Different strokes for different folks. Cartoon-boy is sometimes amusing, other times hilarious.

Well, Rat did try to soften the blow by saying “Hush”. He could have told Pastis to “Sit down and shut up”.(Yes, I’m from Jersey.)

Poor Pastis! Once again, thanks to Rat, his dignity has been stripped.

I get a little tired of the narcissism of this comic.
Digital Frog over 9 years ago
I enjoy the Pastissism of this comic

And I enjoy the fourth wall being broken.
toahero over 9 years ago
I wish there would be more strips of the crocs, zebra, and guard duck.
If they put in more of those, the humor of the strip would triple

I enjoy PBS. Keep on Stephen. Thanks. :) Peace.

Those who think they are perfect (or, in this case, humorous) annoy those of us who are.
Malcolm Hall over 9 years ago
Pasties did a couple of pretty funny panels about Davis and Garfield.

Pasties was a typo.

I don’t find Bill Bryson at all.
