Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 29, 2015

It’s called a bun, and I can understand Rat being hot and cross about it.

Rat should have taken care of that dumb goat patch at the same time.

Rat would get squashed if he did that to a Japanese sumo wrestler. (Even Leonardo snipped off the samurai daimyo’s top knot in the 1993 film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III”.)

Rat for President? He’d be just like a number of Presidents we’ve already had. Besides, Snoopy already has a campaign song.

Well…. that was uncharacteristically noble of Rat.

YES! Rat has some redeeming qualities after all! BTW, LWP, it is called a ‘soul patch’ and I agree, he shoulda got rid of that dumb excuse for a beard while he was at it.Diamond Lil ran a few strips about man buns recently, too.

I thought he was already running, wearing a stuffed shirt & what looks like an orange toupée.

Well, in Rat’s defense, he was undeservingly, called a moron.

Rat already ran for president in 2012, and it was hilarious. It starts here, and goes to Nov. 7.

The Oct. 31 one, in particular, is a classic.

Rat’s move is generally good and and a public service, EXCEPT it leaves his tail looking VERY vulnerable.

Damn!!Now the poor guy has to commit seppuku

Good job Rat !………..Have we all gone mad ? Most of us agree with Rat on this one :-O

Well, I’d say that supercilious, snippy dude got his hairball removed justly. Snippy snippy, —Well done, Rat. Down with man buns!

even looks stupid on some ladys

Well done, Rat. Now move on to the dreadlocks.

Tom, he was a piper’s son,He learnt to play when he was young,And all the tune that he could playWas ‘over the hills and far away’;Over the hills and a great way off,The wind shall blow my top-knot off.

Wow! Never would have guessed you guys are all republicans and Trump devotees.BTW a soul patch is facial hair just below the lower lip and above the chin, not on the chin.

“You’ve done well to keep so much hair, when so many’s after it. I hope you will fare well. "

Do the asinine chin fuzz while you’re at it.

it has been my experience that most ‘fashion’ ‘hip’ things are pretty much on the same level – those that are and those who are not. and the are nots usually outlast those who are because those who are, constantly change what is ‘fashion’ and ‘hip’ – sometimes every week.i think it has something to do with separating people from their money – but not sure on that. sls (simply laughing silently)

thank you, Rat

Rat, you did a valuable service to all of humanity!

Back in the early 70’s, my hair was long enough to have a pony tail. It probably looked pretty sad. I say, let the men wear their hair anyway they want to. Half of them will lose it bye and bye.

I approve of Rat’s action and reasoning behind it!

You go, Rat!

Rat would totally hate me

A “man bun” belongs on sumo wrestlers only. Otherwise, it looks out of place.

the only problem was that the shears were about a foot too high to cut off the real problem.

What’s even worse, they now sell clip-on man buns

Manbuns are the ugliest thing a man can bun.

Now if he could run a national campaign to pull up those around-the-hips-gotta-show-my-underware-I-look-too-stupid pants !!!!

Way to go Rat!! Bring Larry to help next time!!

I feel the same way about “soul patches”.

apologies to Sir Mix A Lot:My Rat salon’d ya, don’t want noneUnless you’ve got buns, hunBaby got Rat

That’s assault in most states. Texas probably being the sole exception.

For once, I agree with Rat.

Rat would totally hate me.

Yeah, like Trump.

i always find it alarming when i agree with rat. but i do. can’t wait for the man bun fad to pass

He looks ridiculous.

Rat done him a favour!

I really don’t care how someone wears their hair , as long as it is clean. Which is why I don’t understand weaves or cornrows. However, those freakin’ doohickies that they shove in their ear lobes so that they are 2-3 inches stretched out….Man I just do not get it at all. But, when I had my ponytail, I am certain my dad wanted to swing me around by it. Whne I went to work as a telephone lineman, I found out how dangerous and hot it could be. and cut it off.

@whiteheronJeremiah Johnson. One of my favorites:)

Of course, on second thoughts, stupid hair styles are good for younger people to look back on later. “I can’t believe I thought that was cool.”

Good job, Rat – he’ll thank you later.

Cutting somebody’s hair without permission can lead to charges of assault & battery.

Easier to click the link.

In ten years, we’ll look back on the topknot the same way we now view the mullet.

Now that Rat has “saved” the man from himself – who will save Rat from assault charges?

Clicked the link I posted and went right in. As I knew it would.

I hate to say it, but I’m with Rat on this one. I’d love to tear the topknot off of every hipster’s head.

I don’t need fancy hairstyles or a ponytail. Just buzz the dang thing off every few months.

Not a fan of them, either.
