Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 27, 2011
Transcript:
Rat: Did you know that spiders kill their prey by injecting them with venom and sucking out their insides with this long appendage called a proboscis? Pig: Really? Rat: Really. Have you ever heard or anything so gross? Pig: Never. Goat: Will you please stop doing that every time I drink a smoothie? Rat: Whoa. Sorry, man. Didn't see you there. Pig: I will not be ordering that.

Depends on what flavor smoothie. Rat is grosser than any spider, however.

Rat kills just about any topic by injecting it with venom and sucking the life out of it. He doesn’t even need a proboscis.Then again, Rats DO have those long wriggly noses.

When I lived in Indonesia I used to enjoy avocado smoothies, in spite of the green colour.

Some people talk about gross things when other people are trying to eat.
Why can’t they take the gossip outside?

Garfield needs to come over and swat Rat with a rolled up newspaper. A spider conversation is worse than the actual spider!

I notice that the copyright date on this strip is 2010. Is it one that SP had made and then decided not to use until he needed some filler?

I feel like the rat sometimes. Not because it’s my Chinese zodiac sign, but more likely saying things in the wrong environment.

No Backwash!I guess this means Rat won’t be investing in a gross of straws?+++++(Sorry, Susansunshine, but after your punny post, I’m just grasping at straws.)

Whenever I go to jamba juice, I order a peanut butter moo’d with no bananas and extra peanut butter. For those that don’t know about it, they are smoothies. I just like extra peanut butter with everything.
