Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 31, 2014

Transcript:
Goat: What happened to you?
Rat: This homeless-looking guy was roaming down the street with a scythe. So I had to punch him in the head to stop him.
Goat: You beat up Father Time.
Rat: Oh. Well, it was a bad year anyways.
Looks like Father Time got in a few licks, too. It’s nice to see Rat having a really bad week or two, decked by the elves with baseball bats rather than boughs of holly and now in a tough scuffle with Time…. Maybe 2015 will get even better for Rat!
You go, Rat. Father Time should be ashamed of the year he gave us. Hopefully 2015 will make up for it. Happy New Year to all, and to our favorite critters and Mr. Pastis, too!

No, no, Rat; the correct method is to use a rolled-up newspaper while saying, “BAD year! BAD year!”
