Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 05, 2022

Some people are not as sensitive as Goat. I hope most people are not as insensitive as Rat.

Paris Goat is the bravest character in the comics. He’s standing on a cliff, knowing that Rat is right behind him.

Be careful Goat, Rat may push you off the edge and have even more reason for him to laugh.

Emotions are tricky Goat? maybe you should just do you?

Rat, peeing in your pants while laughing at someone’s misfortune does not count as crying.

If you really get mature then you will stops crying.

This strip reminds me of places I have visited that stopped me in my tracks, just from the sheer beauty. The first time I saw the ocean, comes to mind.

As I’ve gotten older I find that i cry because i spend so much time looking back at my life, seeing all the decisions that brought me to where my life is at the moment. My God how did i function so long with manure for brains?

Rat secretly wants to push Goat off that cliff.

It all depends on your perspective, Goat positive, Rat negative, and you can choose which one you wish to be!

Cartoons and comics always have a cliff handy.

Morning Steph, you define human types really well, rat is definitely a lost hateful Dimwit!

When I have moments like Goat is having, I can’t hold back “How Great Thou Art”

if you’re talking about human life, I agree with Col Kurtz: “The horror, the horror.”

Rat gets the giggles when he knows GOAT is right! He’s also steamed, that he didn’t think of it first.

Don’t do it Rat!

I wonder how Pig would respond to Goat’s assertion.

I do not consider myself mature. That explains why I don’t randomly cry while looking at nature. IMO, once you’ve seen the Redwoods in California, you’ve seen all the trees.

Mature photography will do the same thing. Except for the bloody bees. And don’t even get me STARTED on the CLEARLY diabolical geese!!

You’re right, Goat, some simply rot.

My heart leaps up when I behold a tall cool glass of foaming brew.

Laughtears.

“Maybe we don’t all mature.”

YA THINK!?

At 75 I fail to see the beauty of life. I see it more as the best of a bad lot.

I did tear up some earlier thinking about my recently deceased father, due to some recent events in our family. So I understand Goat.

This has been a solid week of strips for Goat sharing his observations, even if they seem wasted on the others.

Some of us mature like a fine wine, others like a Twinkie.

Gonna side with Rat again. Goat is too sappy to be trusted….

Speaking of getting older…
