Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 07, 2021

Because the best way to spend bad day is in a caffeine buzz. Try camomile tea.

All the nations of the world don’t have enough money for that coffee; Rat must have killed the employee and stolen it.

what is that, a one hundred thousand once?

I just read about someone who suffered a heart attack from too much caffeine. It depends on whether or not you are used to it.

Bladder Buster 3000.

Maybe just take a soak in it and relax, Rat?

Any day could/should be a day to avoid Rat.

Coffee latte ‘swimming pool’. Only for jedi masters of bladder control.

These are the days that everyone avoids him.

Except Juan Valdez.

reminds me of the olde days of TMCM.com

Rat must of had a tough weekend ! Party On Rat ;-)

Instead of coffee, Rat, try alcohol. It worksh bedder. Hic.

That special order did not upset that barista.

java ,java, java, java!

You need coffee before you leave the house.

That looks like a coffee cup that is used for advertising rather than actually drinking

I thought Rat went for alcohol for that.

HEY! that’s my “Grandpa go faster”……

He’s gonna up for weeks.

whoa, where do they give cups of coffee that size!? :D

At *bucks, that’s called a “Coliseum.”

If I had a cup of coffee that large I would drink it in the bathroom.

Rat ordering the Bladder Buster™ Grande Deluxe with extra creme and …excuse me while run to the little boys room!

Mille venti.

Well, it is Monday

I just got one of those from Dunkin’, like, 15 minutes ago. (And it was free: I had a code for $5 off any purchase)

Starbucks calls that a small.

Wait, there are days you DON’T avoid Rat?

Try avoiding him THIS WEEK.

That looks like a Garfield-sized coffee. And Rat said that today (Monday) will be terrible. Hmm… Rat’s having a Garfield day.

ok, he will go on a kicking spree soon

I’ll have a black coffee and Super-Size it!

Awwww, ha ha!

Uh oooh! Rat I’ll be high on caffeine today! Everybody take cover…..

Just one of the many days, I imagine. . . .

Actually, that’s a coffee lover’s dream come true.

Even if that’d be to scale not with Rat but any common rat that coffee is a real monster. Several of our offices machines total volume.

But given the quality of “coffee” I encountered in the US the effect would be less stimulating the mind but the bladder.

Assuming the cup is a standard 77 gallon barrel, at 128 fl oz to the gallon that would be 9856 fluid ounces.

This is so good!

That’s a latte coffee.

The mille size.

Biggestest.

Problem is – you drink that much coffee than you’re going to need an equal amount of wine to balance out the jitters…

Yeah, nothing helps you chill like a megadose of caffeine.

how many cups did they waste to get that size?

Now, that’s my idea of a large coffee! But will it stay hot until Rat finishes drinking it?

I hope it’s decaffeinated or you will be bouncing off the wall all day.

I worked at a McDonald’s when a half-gallon-sized milkshake was available.(What a time to be lactose-intolerant.)
