Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 28, 2015

At least, Rat is honest about himself.

Not so much a path as a parking spot.

There’s a lot of that going around these days.

Hey, Rat, I’m with you!

Too many people take the path of beer and sleep. And if the path of least resistance is to hard for Rat, I’m shocked he’d work to drink a beer. Path of intravenous beer seems more his style if the path of least resistance is too hard.

Nothing wrong with the choice of sybaritic indolence. You can be lazy and self-indulgent all you want. But Rat, here’s the thing: as with every other choice, there are consequences. And they can be a kick in the butt!

I think Rat is describing Retirement, though he failed to mention the bowling leagues.

How can Rat seriously say he’s not a hard worker, when we repeatedly see him beating up Cartoon-Boy, leading Pig astray, and generally getting into a ton of mischief?! How hard does a cartoon character have to work?

The road to sleep is paved with beer.

I didn’t know Rat “worked” for the local council !(or the “city” as I think you say in USA).

To be a Rat or to not be a Rat…….That is the question…….

Drunk sleeping… sounds like college.

I drink, therefore I’m drunk.

Rat! Can you say L-A-Z-Y ?

Goat should know better than to ask Rat a question like that.

I suffer from split feelings. I have things I NEED to do but I DON’T want to do them! Drives me crazy. Yes, they get done.

and people laughed at me when i left my Christmas lights up last year – nobodies laughing now!!!!

To find the path of least resistance you must meditate.OHM…….

Smart rat.

not so much as a path as a dusty rug in front of the tv

No gain:No pain!
