Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 15, 2021

Did he at least pay?

Probably just walked out.

Rat told the patient, it was “fake” notes, and the patient should fact check the comments.

I’m surprised Rat doesn’t have a black eye or worse.

If rat gets an overly violent patient, rat will need to either cure the patient or die trying.

Considering today’s date, I’m surprised today’s joke isn’t about the IRS.

His insurance isn’t going to cover this.

Bottom line is, 90% of therapy is bogus, nothing but caching!

I wager Rat didn’t get his $200.

Rat is actually a the-rapacious.

Next time, try ‘He can be helped. For $200’.

Next time Mr. Patient, DO NOT pay the psychiatrist in advance! ;D

Next chapter in his story, how he got taken by a real rat.

Rat the the rapist?

Honesty is generally the best policy. But for Rat …

To the patient …. Go to a bar next time … Bourbon or Brandy will be more helpful than Dr Rat !

Unless yours is a pre-paid service, I dunno how you makes $200 before he gets up from the couch and pays you.

This is so unlike Rat… he was listening! I’d be doing some crosswords instead. It’s the same 200 :D

Rat is a prime example of superego!

Rat is a Shrink okay, he will shrink your bank account !

Rat, best keep your notes to yourself from now on.

What an interesting story.

Rat should never wear a necktie. Such a convenient and potential weapon.

That’s a wise choice, Rat.

Doctor has a good handwriting. Surprising. He can also drw perfect circles.

Ha! Just like a rat!

Probably in every “therapist” mind

Rat sounds like the therapist in “Falcon and the Winter Soldier”

I wonder how this guy found Rat as a therapist in the first place. Can’t imagine it was by referral.

And his haircut is atrocious.

$200? Wow, Rat’s cheap. Maybe he can help folks.

Truth in revelation.

Now I know,I am Pastis’ patient.

Oh, no! Can this be the end of the short but shocking career of Rat the Therapist?

(Of course, the state can’t pull a license he never bothered to get in the first place….)

nice note
