Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 04, 2014

The Red one counteracts the Blue one which works better with the Brown one but take the Pink one to offset any problems with the Fuschia one which doesn’t well with the Spotted one..etc.

They can’t be dangerous if the rep hands them out for free.

One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small…

~I think Rat forged some prescripts for medical marijuana.

They need the money you pay for the drugs to buy laws, such as the third-worldesque law that lets them sell expensive overwhelming contraindicated drugs on TV.

Careful there, Pastis…..they don’t think we know…..

Enjoy your escape to beautiful Fiji, Dr. Rat! —While your patient dies of an insane drug cocktail overdose. Of course, you can never return to the US, or you will face prosecution. Kinda poetic….

Rat the Quack!

All of the pills are actually marketed as “nutritional supplements”, so there’s no legal requirement to inform anyone of side effects or drug interactions.You know, the products that always have the fine print “This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.” Despite the clear claims to treat an illness.

An occasional glass of wine would be cheaper and probably more effective.

But the research the pharmaceutical company paid for says they’re all completely safe.

So many placebos so little time….

My doctor to a T. pill peddlers.

I’ve been looking for a Doctor like Rat for a long long time,I bless his smelly tiny little feets.

Rat’s pharmaceutical supplier brings a new shipment for him over the border every week….

Pop-a-chocks…

“UNWISE?? WHO’S THE DOCTOR HERE, ME OR YOU?!?”

Side effects: death. But you won’t be depressed anymore!

“R” word?Has anyone here ever, after seeing drug commercials, gone to your doctor and demanded prescriptions for said drug?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~No. One of the main reasons I never watch daytime game shows or the 6:30 news. Geezers are their target audience…(just clocked 79 years, now in the old fart zone)

one pill makes you tall and one pill makes you small..Go ask Alice when she’s 10 feet talll………….

Try them all at once and you won’t be feeling down anymore—or feeling at all. Or breathing.

Good advice, Rat (!)xxx

56 pills. Rat is smart.

Reps pay for entire office lunches in bigger cities……and when you realize that happens all across town the cost per day is tremendous. No wonder prescription drugs cost so much…the companies buy my wife lunch all the time!!!!

Yes; but the label on his suitcase says “Fiji.”

One pill makes you largerAnd one pill makes you smallAnd the ones that mother gives youDon’t do anything at allGo ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall

Loved it when my doctor tried giving me opioid pain medication when it would have a dangerous interaction with the meds I have to take every day. I had to point it out. It’s just great having to get your own medical degree since your doctor apparently doesn’t have time to check and make sure they don’t kill you.
