Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 02, 2022

Rat finally admits the truth.

I hope this is the beginning of a series; I’d love to see two Rats beating each other up.

‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:18

This does reveal a lot about Rat, and people like him.

Know thyself, even if you don’t like yourself!

The odd revelation here is that Goat just admitted he likes Rat.

Nobody likes rats. Not even rats.

Standing behind the wall like this makes them seem kind of like puppets … or muppets. Is his friend Oscar?

To quote “ole” Groucho, “I wouldn’t want to belong to a club that would have me as a member”.

Rat must be real fun at parties.

Grelber comes to mind! (Hate is great)!

Misery loves company!

As Pogo said; “We have me the enemy and he is us!”

This is me. Take me, or leave me, I am good with either choice.

Rat’s just being honest.

a dangerous type . . .

Rat is pathetic…as is Pig.

“It is said that what you dislike in others is what you dislike in yourself.”-Lt. Worf -Star Trek TNG

Rat doesn’t have the best self esteem. He has a serious complex.

Same, Rat. Same. They say the things we dislike about others are the things we dislike about ourselves. I find that to be true.

Self-awareness is a strength, but in Rat, not redeeming.

I’m amazed I have more friends like Rat. That cannot be a good sign.

Too bad for Rat. There are a lot of good people out there and he’s missing so many potential opportunities to make a friend….

Given that Pastis doesn’t know me, I’m amazed at how accurately he channels me through Rat.

I wouldn’t join any club that would have me as a member.

“I Am That I Am….”

I just realized that pig and goat have the same head and ears ( except for the nose and horns) !

You can be difficult to get along with, Rat.

Pastis needs to make today’s strip into a Möbius loop.

Rat summed himself in that last line.

Good observation, Rat! But do not fear: there are plenty of us out here to hate you, as well as Goat’s friend….
