Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 31, 2017

Rat can now apply for that philosophy chair at Harvard.

If you can’t reach for the stars, at least you can reach for the butter.

When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are…. except for Rat who’s dreams are likely to be immoral!

It’s good to dream big but sometimes it pays to dream small.

Wait, you woke me up for this?

But did he dream of it landing butter side up when it slipped out of his hands?

Next: dream of getting a good night’s sleep.

Pig buttered it on the wrong side.

The key to happiness is low expectations.

I guess he got that down pat.

Dreams do come true, but only in Blue Hawaii.

What is my purpose?

kudos if you get this reference

Since I retired, I have dreams about being at work. It feels great when I realize that I don’t have to do that anymore.

Hey, Pig actually has a mouth.

Man’s reach should exceed his grasp, else why have a lazy susan?

I dream of eating food and then going to the woods each day.

Rat actually said something positive to help a friend, so that would make him Un-Rat?

So Pig identifies himself as Ed from the show “Ed, Edd n’ Eddy”?

Benchmarks. It’s all about setting your benchmarks low enough.

An unrealistic dream for Pig could be being intelligent.

I think I shall swoon! Rat actually gave some good advice; and Pig accepted it; and everything turned out well!

Did I come to the wrong comic strip?

Believe me, I wouldn’t want my dreams to come true. They’d break reality.

Yay, buttered toast!!

is that rat being nice i see?
