Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 13, 2018

Why Tom Cruise broke up with all his wives and now only dates short women.

The way to be great:

Be me.

you most certainly do, Rat, and you never stop doing so

Someone should smack your knack!

That should work.

Planning a run at the Presidency?

Be a Croc :-)

Works for the present POTUS not for US.

How is greatness measured? By your service to others.

Presidential speech writer

It would suck to be anybody but me.

Only belittle the people who deserve it.

The Bard has given us all the advice that need be offered on this topic: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.”

Sadly, there are too many people who can’t feel good about themselves unless they’re belittling others.

Very Trumpian advice.

KennethJohnson It doesn’t work for the president either. People who actually feel superior don’t need to keep telling people about it. That’s only required if you are really insecure that you are even mediocre and hoping that you can convince people otherwise.

It works for Trump.

Greatness is realizing that you have something unique to offer the world while recognizing and supporting the greatness in others.

Rat is correct. Surround yourself with a mediocre and pandering staff and you will feel great about yourself. Anyone who gets the least out of line can be fired and so the cycle continues. This reminds me of someone, but I can’t think of the name at the moment.

This actually isnt funny. It is how much of human nauture operates these days.

A > symbol walked into a bar. The bartender said, “What makes you greater than anyone else?”

There are others?

I would have guessed that Rat stole it from a motivational poster at Trump Tower.

Right out of Trumps playbook.

Rat seems to know what his readers want, anyway.

Now, about Cartoon-Boy and his audience….

It’s my birthday strip!
