Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 24, 2022

At least you won’t feel guilty when you crush Rat.

In the 1970s there were T-shirts that read, “Do Unto Others, Then Split.”

That is amoral code

It’s a moral code, just not a good one.

(When asked, “What is best in life?”) To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women! -Conan the Barbarian (1982)

Maybe Rat has more children than Donald Trump, so he has more people to throw under the bus.

Conan, “to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.”

Sounds like a certain orange potentate.

Rat has a code, a disgusting code but a code none the less…

It’s an immoral code!

At least he’s consistent.

Rat must be a fan of Putin!

Sadly, I know a lot of people like this.

Worked for Conan. “…crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women”

True of many politicians – why we need more term limits.

Code rat.

That’s about as moral as Rat gets.

I get rid of people I want to crush by thinking about crushing them.

Keep that up and you’ll end up isolated and alone, RAT!

Rat has no morals or principles, yet we love him just the same.

Rat’s honesty is too close to… accurate.

You, who are on the road Must have a code that you can live by And so, become yourself Because the past is just a goodbye

Teach your children well Their father’s hell did slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they pick’s the one you’ll know by …

Thank you Crosby Still, Nash & Young.

Nice philosophy, Rat. Curiously, a whole lot of people who call themselves “Christians” will look up to you for it.

He left out “see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women.”

The best one is The Golden Rule, along with Mind your own business and Live and let live

Sounds like a proud alumnus of Trump University to me. . . . /s

Khitan General: Conan, what is best in life?

Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

Everyone’s commenting about Conan. I miss his show!

He makes ratatouille out of those that get in his way.

Rat and morality? Oil and water mix better.

Love my enemies, and bless those who curse me (unless they’re morons).

Just because those aren’t good morals doesn’t mean they aren’t morals.

Sounds a lot like Ahnold’s Conan.

If you ask me, I think Rat needs therapy. Then again, there wouldn’t be a therapist who is willing to council Rat for more than 5 minutes.

What is best in life, Rat?

He stole that from Tsar Vova the Emetic.

Putins code!!!

He’s bound to become a great C.E.O.

Rat the Republican.

Funny and “C” is right

That’s the Trump Code

I LOVE PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

Hey it’s good enough! LOL AWESOME STRIP I MAY START READING THIS COMIC

At least he tried

P1. If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist.P2. Objective moral values do exist.C. Therefore, God exists.

If it’s a moral code, it’s a very dark one. But this is Rat….

Rat’s Categoric Imperative

Rat and moral code are contradictory.
