Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 11, 2020

Most of the rest are in their underwear from the waist down.

This is how meetings should be conducted—drunk and naked.

Rat has a job?

I think Rat is the CEO.

You cannot balance even two cans on MY beer belly… At least not while I’m breathing.

Rat is probably not the only employee on that Zoom call who is drunk or just had a delivery from the local hemp dispensary…….

Why do I wonder how Stephan became familiar with this idea?

Watch it Rat, or you might get “canned”!

I’m on a Teams meeting every weekday. Fortunately, video isn’t involved, because I’m usually playing Solitaire on my phone.

What I want to know is that how did you hyoomans end up employing a rat.

Rat is trying to integrate a little entertainment into an otherwise dull meeting.

I sure would not dress up for work if I worked at home.

Rat are those empty or full beers on your belly ? …. Croc Power !

what is it with Rat and Beer?

why is he standing up lol

How does Rat even keep a job?

[GASP!] Where are their masks? https://dilbert.com/strip/2020-10-08

Is that the portly John Francis Glynn presiding over this GoComics staff Zoom meeting? Where’s Cartoon-Boy? Dodging office meetings again? Letting his alter ego Rat take the fall?

Looks like the opening to the Brady Bunch.

Some of us haven’t put our faces on.

I wonder which of Rat’s 433 different employers this one would be.

That guy looks a little like Dilbert.

My wife’s work laptop has the camera disabled for security, so she doesn’t even dress up for meetings.

Zoom! The eye automatically zooms in on “under dressed” participants….

I have always used a cardboard cutout. No one has ever noticed…

I actually treat working at home like being at the office. I am likely in the minority.

why video conference? I think a simple phone conference works just as well many times

Whatever keeps you going…..

My boss had a brain fart and got up to get coffee. During s management meeting. With no pants on, just underwear.

Well, is it, no mouth no mask, and they’re using telepathy?

Nudity at work is frowned upon in my home office. Frowned upon but not forbidden.

Did The Columbian censor this or just screw up by running last week’s strip? Did any other papers do that?

LOL. This is one of my favorites.

Stephan. I was with you up until the beer belly tower. Sadly I don’t have beer. How about a Redd’s Wicked Apple Ale tower?

Lol, my house my rules…sorry that cracked me up.
