Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 05, 2018

Let’s see how Rat handles it if the house burns down later.

I could ask why Goat is at Rat & Pigs house at sunrise, but I’m not going to.

Oops.

Should I be concerned that Rat and I have so much in common?

Let’s face it – a rat can set the bar reeeaaalllyyy low!

Wander what Pig was doing during the night.

A pessimist is rarely unpleasantly surprised.

Sooo low, that he can play handball against the side of a dime.

Sooo low, that he can play handball against the side of a dime.

A planet where animals talk and there are two suns.

Good grief, a pun-free day!

Prepare for the worst, and you won’t be surprised by it.

The optimist believes that this is the Best of All possible Worlds.

I woke up this morning and Trump is still POTUS. How is that for a really low bar for the day?

“If you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, nothing worse will happen to either of you for the rest of the day.”—attributed (but unverified) to Mark Twain

It needs to be said: Rat in a hat…..so adorable!

Rat’s terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day.

Bucky is walking around with a pluger today in “Get Fuzzy”. Perhaps he could pay Rat a home visit?

Rat’s old-fashioned Ebenezer Scrooge-type sleeping cap is charming, ’tis true! But where was Pig driving so early in the day? Was he off to the fast-food emporium to buy some breakfast bacon-and-egg muffins? If Rat misses brekky, maybe his day will get worse!

This is why I’m never awake at daybreak.

Like an opposite Polyanna?

How surprising!

That is how you’re supposed to live life.
