Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 18, 2011

The debate turns acronymious. A true ad zebranim attack.

Well, Rat DID say he was going to stop the overuse of that particular acronym, one person at a time. Zebra evidently didn’t get the memo.

LOL.

Thos too shouldn’t have exposed their emails. Now they’ll get a lot of enlargement proposals.

That’s twice in the last few days Rat has baseball-batted one of the PBS good guys (Goat Thursday, Zeeba Neighba a.k.a. Zeebs4life today), and the second day in a row Zebra has been a victim. And Rat may be threatening Pig for tipping offtargets. I think the PBS Good Guys should form ART: The Anti-RaT league! Everyone needs ART!

OK admit it. How many just g-mailed Rat? just me? then I’m not telling what happened. . ..

Rat made a guest appearance in Dark Side of the Horse on the 16th Sept.

LOL !

The advance warning didn’t help.

And I thought ~ I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter ~ was a slippery acronym to manage. ( It always comes out as something like – Ich bin ein butterer ‽) Anyway… I love how Rat’s threat is in keeping with the spirit of things…. Yada Yada Hate…Yada Yada Beat…Yada Yada OUT LOUD. ~ Very Funny!

That’s two strikes for Rat. Now he just needs to get Pig to complete the strikeout.

Why do Goat and Zebra stay friends with Rat?

How about TRIC! (The Rat Is Coming). I’ve never before been up early enough to comment. Just as well isn’t it?

Poor Zeeba neighba, if it’s not the crocs, he now has Rat to worry about.

CAHVChuckled At High Volume

lol

When I read this I was Laughing Out Loud. (LOL)

hen I first saw LOL, I thought it meant Loser On Line.

To: RATGREATNESS@GMAIL.COM good one rat LOL! WHACK!

L.O.L. Zeeba be tough! He and goat can take a bat.

They’re both on Gmail! Awesome!

awesome! lol!!

It’s not the acronyms that bother me, it’s all the stupid recycled “jokes” people like Rat keep sending me.

I like “Zeebs4life.”

Add “meh” to that list, Rat!

I wonder what the emoticon is for that.

“warning them in advance” is redundant.

I sent an email to rat and no wacking yet. Lol

I’m gonna have to put out some rat poison for Rat. Sending out jokes via email is one of those things that really tick me off. I don’t want them, because if they’re actually good, I’ve already seen them enough times to have them memorized, and if they’re bad, then you just sent me bad jokes! It’s a waste of time and space, so I just hit the delete button. THEN I get hate mail from the person that sent it for not saying THANK YOU for having sent garbage!

How about doing a strip addressing the REAL problem Pastis!

So funny and so Ratlike…my hamster could not keep her eyes off the strip…guess I will have to frame it for her house.

Can I borrow that bat?

COL (Crying Out Loud)

LOL! ducks and runs

I’m not even going to say it today…

……………. It’s VERY difficult.

xxx

Seems to me like Stephan is beating this gag to death.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷Look Out! Llamas!

LOL Good one Stephan!

For once I agree with Rat. And can we do the same to the people who use emoticons too, like the smiley face? UGGGHHHHHH!

Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain…

Hey,Rat! LOL! Come get me,sucka!

He hates Lol to the xtreme……. LOL!

TWF-SO

I’d say LoL but I don’t need a bat to the skull…so, LMAO!

LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

Bring it, Rat!

I almost PIMP (Peed In My Pants) when I read this.

I remember back when I hated LOL too. But with time I gave up and came to accept it.

alright |ôlˈrīt|variant spelling of all right.usage: The merging of all and right to form the one-word spelling alright is first recorded toward the end of the 19th century (unlike other similar merged spellings such as altogether and already, which date from much earlier). There is no logical reason for insisting that all right be two words when other single-word forms such as altogether have long been accepted. Nevertheless, although found widely, alright remains nonstandard.

Just saying, that guy needs to STFU. Dictionary FTW.

Lol…wait

IHTOASMTIATCOTYHABYWABOL.Seriously. I agree with Rat. STOP USING THAT ACRONYM! IT’S EVEN WORSE THAN K.I.A!!

Lol :p

How sad that a rat has an easier time getting zebra than the crocs

RatGreatness@gmail.com……

Nice. I, too, e-mailed both Rat and Zebra. Kind of a fun one here.

That bat hit so hard LOL

Now my head hurts!

Coincidentally, this ran right around when I was crusading against people inaccurately claiming to be laughing out loud via initialism. But I had never read this particular strip until now, as far as I can remember.
