Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 11, 2012

“How to win friends and influence people” by Rat. Be sure to look for it in your local bookstore.

While the lawyer was in law school he supported himself by working for the IRS.

Pay to PARTY. A lot like paying for television that should be free anyways, given all the advertisers.

Hmm is this rat hitting new lows? or new heights?

Funny timing, cos honestly, I just got an invitation to a “party”…. including a link to where I can buy a discounted ticket.

The idea of charging for the event, to recoup expenses, as it says, doesn’t seem as odd to me as the idea of calling it a “party Invitation”.

At least I know ahead of time how much it would cost, though.

Rat’s idea might come in handy —

“Remember when I made you tacos last Saturday?

And by the way, this is Rocco, my enforcer."

Barbeque?……Hey, I don’t see Pig,….you don’t think?…….and now that I think of it, I haven’t seen any zeebas lately either….

Isn’t a rat with a lawyer redundant?

Pastis is just showing off his inside knowledge of the species! For all we know, Rat was duped into this by his shyster lawyer.

At last! Pastis’ alter-ego revealed!

In hindsight, it looks like Pastis may be taking a jab at his former career.

Next time read the fine print on the invitation.

fight back, Pig was one who invited you, not Rat

Goat should countersue. In addition, he should call the County Health Department and get them to slam the BBQ with a health hazard violation due to severe rodent infestation. Very high risk of food-borne illness.

Relax, it’s just another government funded program.

didnt know he used to be a lawyer

Rat would make a great diplomat……..for Iran.

“Ain’t no free lunch” _

Wish I had a dollar for everybody who USED to be a lawyer.Could have become an attorney, but I spent a few years as a kid on a low-rent farm shoveling, mucking, etc and there are just some things i won’t do.

It would be easier for me to kill someone cleanly than to serve an eviction notice on a decent person, or…well, you can imagine. How horribly debased the noble profession of law has become!

How to lose friends and alienate people!

Awwwwww, Poor Goat…

How can Rat afford a lawyer?

LOL xxx

As much as I despise our litigious lawyers, I can’t say I’ve ever seen one wearing dark glasses indoors to read papers. That’s more of a hollywood narcissist style.

Goat might have to talk ol’ Pastis into breaking out the law books again and being his defense attorney.

Maybe Rat needs money to pay his lawyer for his upcoming trial for running over a cyclist

lived the same thing.like feb 5 strip.except in this one the lawyer was a cop .YAArr cant get away from that rat

Doesn’t that guy work for the snap-snap frog??

ROFL!!!!

Isn’t Rat himself a lawyer?

We pay for air (our potato chip bags contain them)We pay for life (food gas beer water)We pay for things we bought (car insurance)

But we have hope. Help. The last of the free.Those things you use at the local Sprouts to tie down your bags. Cost 0.00*IT’S OUR ONLY HOPE.
