Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 03, 2021

Did Rat nominate himself, again?

Forget it, Rat—you’re no prize, and there’s nothing nobel about you.

The Ig-Nobel prize is ready for you, Rat .

Some people like to wait until spring to do that.

The Nobel Prize in what, Rat? Idiocy?

Making a virtue of necessity…

Necessity is a mother…it is the hunger that satisfaction kills…

It might get Jered Kushner one

Because of the Virus situation, the electric co. will not turn off power until warmer weather if a bill is not paid!

You ain’t getting a prize.

I don’t care about WHY you do the right thing… just THAT you do it.

hmm, maybe i’ll try that approach…

Doing nothing got Obama a Nobel Prize.

Yeah, that counts too, like me going to work on bicycle because I’m too broke to buy bus tickets?

I think they’re putting Nobel prizes in Cracker Jack boxes now.

Rat who be this “OUR” that you be talking about ? Sounds like you will have to share the prize . Half of nothing still equals nothing ;-) ….. Croc Power !

Didn’t the tRump campaign say something about him being nominated for The NOBLE Prize.

Rat . . . hate to tell ya, but give Biden a year and you won’t have any electricity anyway, so you’re way ahead of the game.

Close. It was the Ignobel prize.

OY!

It worked for Obama!

Well BLM and Stacy Abrams have both been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rat would be better than a lot of recent winners of the Nobel Peace Prize and WAY better than the three currently under consideration. The Nobel Peace Prize has become the joke of the World!

Someone once mentioned that since the founder fathers are already rotating in their graves we could use them as turbines to produce clean energy. Sounds like Rat’s idea.

Rat is so full of himself.

You know who really deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. The guy or gal that can successfully get a large group of people to agree on pizza toppings.

I stopped paying attention to the Nobel Prizes when tRump’s predecessor won it for doing nothing but managing to be the first African American elected President of the United States. Don’t get me wrong — I have no problem with Obama, either being black, or being President — I just don’t think it was worthy of an award. He had been in office just a few months, too early for his policies to effect global peace when he was awarded the prize.

Anyone can be nominated to anything. Do you know what a nomination is ?

Trump for the Ignoble Prize

A couple of years ago I went on my electric company’s Peak Plan (high rate daytime, low rate nighttime and weekends) and saved a whole $20 for the year. No award either for lowering our suffocating carbon footprint.

Burning and looting cities seems to have worked for an organization that will remain unnamed.

We have an annual shutoff moratorium that runs from November to April.

Some people go the whole time without paying, figuring to pay up when they get their tax refunds.

is it just me or is rats nose getting shorter

No.

Stranger things have happened, Rat (and Goat, too)! But I wouldn’t say a Nobel Prize carries much prestige nowadays; the money is nice, though….

Gee, maybe John Kerry can come visit Rat in his private jet to give him an award for helping to save the planet.

Some have dreams, Rat has a delusion.
