Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 24, 2017

Rat always speaks from the heart, such as it is.

well, Rat, don’t get all cranky when you get a sunburn or when your flight home is delayed and you can’t pay the hotel bills

And summer months are the worst times to check your social media accounts. People posting pics on Hawaiian beaches, cruises, mountain hiking, etc. But I live in Florida so I try to not brag too much during the winter months in retaliation.

A real friend would never do that. Rain is better than sweat and sunburn.

I think it’s more friends who are rats are the worst!

Rat’s made it quite clear that he’s a tolerating acquaintance, not a friend.

Rat’s drawing doesn’t look like Rat. It’s good!

“The weather is here. Wish you were beautiful.”

Hell is listening to other people’s vacation stories.

This coming to real postcards in 3…2…1

Most people vacationing in Hawaii would take a boat ride. Rat’s taking a gloat ride.

“Having a wonderful wine, wish you were beer”

The ultimate gloat: Picture of a beautiful woman in a skimpy bikini, with a caption just below her waist that says “Wishing you were here?”

Everybody at work is always asking me why I never go on holiday. I just don’t. OK?

It is, “The scenery is here. Wish you were beautiful.” Although I realize they are boys, but you know what I mean. He He He !!!

“Having a wonderful wish, time you were here.”

“Hoping you’re all hell and hoppy…”

Agreed, Goat. That social networking site is inundated with pictures of their exotic destinations, balmy weather, and quaint food.

Meanwhile, here we three sit (Pig, Sisyphos, and Goat). There’s no justice!

Rat is lucky there are no snakes in Hawaii.

My family and I went to the Maldives for a vacation a few times. It’s like the Hawaii or Key West of the Indian Ocean!

Rat is an honours graduate of Sux2B U!

Because rat doesn’t like it when others show him their vacation photos.
