Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 13, 2018

Rat, the hard part is finding something about you that is legitimate.

This would be funny if I hadn’t heard it from a family member for the exact same reason.

Apparently Rat’s only disorder is not having enough money.

It’s a legitimate syndrome, it’s called ratitosis.

Pig had a lucid interval here.

Rat has Trumpitis!

I think it’s a universal, indiscriminate disorder.

The only cure for Rat’s syndrome is D-Con!

Rat’s a Victim; Award him a cool $ mil !

Rat’s REAL disorder is being a Republican!

“I’m not responsible for my actions. It’s always someone else’s fault.” -Lots and lots of people

Pastis is working with Crane, the artist for “Pickles”?

Nearly the same line starts each of today’s strips…

Rat is Disorderly. Pig is Disorganized. And Da Pig should order dat new wallet he saw in da shop dis week.

Some local substitute teacher had a fight club going in his class and is pleading PTSD, Bipolar and he wasn’t trained to know what fighting looks like! Rat exists in real life.

I’m afraid to ask where Pig keeps his wallet, since he has no pockets.

In the house, he leaves it on something. That’s how Rat was able to steal it.

Lame.

It sounds more like kleptomania to me.

Is it a wallet, or a sow’s ear purse?

Rat’s a klepto

MightyT-Boss69 Rats real disorder is being a DemocRAT.

A punch in the face will legitimize his suffering.

Dyslexia and messing things up go hand in hand.

It’s so much easier to have a disorder. Then one is never accountable for unacceptable conduct – it was the disorder made me do it (with apologies to the late Flip Wilson). The problem arises (with me) when there is no qualitative or quantitative pathology for so many disorders nor are there any defined boundaries on what to expect or what should be allowed from and to the sufferer. You have it if you say you have it.

What’s a little kleptomania among friends?

Rat is getting the hang of the Newspeak that is destroying Culture in our time. And, like all Bad Things, it is coming from Kakifornia….
