Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 23, 2013

Problem solved… in typical Rat fashion.

“Don’t be such a crybaby. After all, 99 years isn’t forever!”

And Rat puts the “RAT” in Rat Fink.

Or maybe it’s “you dirty rat”

All’s well that ends well

I hope Pastis does another one of those “wrap up several story lines in one strip” thing again…

“Rat” rat’d out.

Bookie Baby behind bars! Bawls!Rat-ratted runt! Ain’t no choo-choo trains in the slam, newbie!

& a supply of Pampers.

He needs a rattle to rake across the bars while yelling “You dirty screw!”

Let’s hope we’ve seen the last of Baby Bookie.

Was Victor McLaglen reincarnated as Rat?!?

@JR6019—Please see my final comment on yesterday’s cartoon.

He could squeeze himself right through those bars.

there ain’t no prison that can hold me…said he.

Rats! Baby Bookie will create a real stink now.

He going to tattoo “love” and “hate” on his knuckles, work out and come looking for rat when he’s release on good behavior!

Better behave yourself, BB, or you’ll have to go sit in the corner.

Cute… Very CUTE!

LOL xxx

Let’s hope imprisonment changes baby. Or at least that the guards will change him as needed.

Thanks, Rat, for clarifying the term “rolling over” : )

For a second, I thought your “constitutional” rights had been violated during your “brief” stay in prison.

Beats having to “bend over” backwards for freedom.

I know this isn’t wrong, it just feels that way.

Juvenile hall looks plenty scary!
