Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 07, 2013
Transcript:
Goat: I think it's so great how Patrick McDonnell, creator of the comic strip "Mutts," has "Shelter Stories" week. Pastis: What's that? Goat: He highlights stories of cats and dogs in shelters in hopes of giving them a new home. Pastis: How kind... I should call Patrick and commend him for-- Can you help me give away a rodent? Rat: I heard that! Pastis: Well, no. He's not a cute little puppy. Goat: Tell him we'll throw in cash!

Stephan has the right idea: one wants to be rid of rats.

I have a rat trap you can borrow! And no, it is NOT one of those silly catch-and-release traps!!

I believe that Stephen will have to PAY to get rid of Rat. I’m sure the rest of the cast will gladly chip in. However, the market for one beer infused lab rat with a p$ssy attitude is questionable.

I don’t know of any squirrel that deserves less to die than any rat (yes, I AM rather bitter about certain kinds of gardening issues, why do you ask?)

It’ll take a little more than cash, Goat.

I like Mutts. Too bad I have to go to another site to read it.
einarbt about 11 years ago
If Rat moved to Mutts would that make both strips better?

A moving initial message, a nice hybrid comic, a funny punchline … what’s not to love here?
