Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 09, 2018

Goat can’t plead ignorance because he knows who and what Rat is.

I remember when there was no caller ID and most folks didn’t have answering machines. No choice but to answer the phone as it might be someone important. Now when there’s a call I look at the caller ID and decide whether or not to let it go to answering machine. 90% of all calls we get here get to talk to a machine. And get deleted.

He couldn’t care less about your feelings, Goat.

What’s next, a “Do not disturb” sign that ALWAYS on Rat’s front door?

Walked right into that one, Goat.

I got the phone for MY convenience. So there.

Gotta admire Rat’s candour!

Thanks for the warning!

No, Goat’s first mistake was thinking that Rat might help him move, 2nd mistake was telling him he would call.

Indeed, a phone’s useful features have unavoidable side effects!

You’d think Goat would know by now not to trust Rat.

I’m surprised Pastis hasn’t swung back at Darby Conley for Get Fuzzy from last week

What happened to the ‘like’ button?

Say what you will about Rat’s tactic. It works (and he doesn’t)!
