Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 24, 2024

Quite apropos that Goat is Rat’s scapegoat.

Actually, Rat just stated the key to politics.

so much truth is found in the comics..,

You’ll never succeed. You’ll have to settle for being the 45th president,

Why would Rat believe GOAT of all critters.

Blaming others for his failures is how one guy ended up being president…

I want the key to the highway.

Who remembers the Coasters? “Why’s everybody always picking’ on me?”!

We have a whole generation blaming others for their failures. They enjoy being victims instead of victors.

Rat failed me on this one, and it’s all HIS fault….!

The Blame Card. Never Leave Your Parents’ Home Without It. Most entitled millennials and entitled minorities don’t. Use the Blame Card and Leave Their Parents’ House. You Know Who You Are and So Do We ;)

Rat likes to blame others for his problems because he can. Even if said person wasn’t even around, he’ll still blame them.

The only person to blame is the person in the mirror. Now get out and fix your problems!

Hard work is for suckers who don’t know how to play the system

You’ll end up ruining your own life, Rat.

It’s not my fault I got an F. The teacher hates me!

That approach didn’t work for Ron DeSantis either!

Goat has a point, Rat, you need to take responsibility for your actions instead of blaming others for them.

The World According to Rat.

Only as far as the Democratic Party is concerned,Rat

Did Goat walk up from some distance away to contradict Rat in a conversation Goat wasn’t part of, and then leave again? No matter how right he is in what he says, there’s hardly ever any call for that.

Goat just put a kabashe on Rats rationalization.

Successful people should be thanking those who helped them get there!

Rat’s still blaming others – Goat in this case LOL

Rat, you’re listening to a danged goat!

Rat will get over it; the other guy, I’m sure he won’t.

So, Rat is successful in meeting his key to life. Goat is therefore wrong. And in the last box, Rat sadly gets confused and does not realize he was successful.

Bob Miller Professional Scapegoat Blame It On Bob! Didn’t get that job promotion? Blame It On Bob! Your car didn’t start and you were late for the interview? Blame It On Bob! Your wife walked out on your marriage because you can’t give her everything you promised? Blame It On Bob! No Blame too big or too small! Don’t be a shame, I"ll Take The Blame! Just call me and give me the details of what I’m being blamed for, and I’ll take care of it!
