Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 06, 2012

I’d be ashamed 2 spend Easter w/ my fam too if they had hair like THAT…

Cue the canned laughter.

I see one of pigs relatives made it for dinner also!

Not only the hair, but the glasses on Cousin Edna.

I got one of pigs relatives in the refrigerator just waiting on a hot oven

The ham oughta be offened they invited that canned ham to dinner. Oops, sorry, canned Rat.

Does Rat hate them because they’re nice?

“Silent knight, unholy knight..”

Look! There’s food on the table! Ham. Jello. And a bowl of painted eggs. —A veritable Easter feast!Rat’s family members remind me of Marge Simpson’s sisters….

Rat’s nose must be bent out of shape……….literally.

he’s invincible now!

T’was the knight before Easter …

I wonder how long Rat will stay fresh in that can?

Rat will be in the can until furter notice.

As long as he can get the mashed potatoes and peas through the visor, he’ll be fine.

@hariseldon59: T’was the knight before Easter …Good one.

The family resemblence is uncanny . . . . ☻

It’s too bad Pig wasn’t the one in the armor. They could have had canned ham for Easter.

Something funny about the Rat family eating a ham.

I hope that’s not Pig on the table.

…and they had better watch out if those eggs came from Little Guard Duck!

Splains a lotRat is Irish

I wouldn’t send a Rat out as a knight like this.

Let me guess…. Mother & Grandmother?

How rude of Rat to do that!

Send him to his room.

LOL xxx

I see it coming … a strategically placed suit of armor that’s empty.

Pastis needs to finish the story line. 2 many people making ‘Canned Rat’ jokes.

The Mechanic covered it for me …. thanks… but yeah, I figured it was a pretty generic holiday song without the reference to a Holy Night.And thanks Linda, too.Bmonk — I’d send that Rat out any way I could get rid of him…And Gluteus… Hey! My Rat jokes are NOT canned. I just made them.

Were you looking for the rest of the words by any chance?

Hmmmm….

Silent Knight, unholy knight,Rat is calm, but not too bright…A Rat Round Table, mother and child..And Rat’s relations, so many and wild,Better if Rat keeps his peace,Better if Rat keeps his peace.

A holiday is when you get time off or travel. I didn’t get either. Is that Pig sliced up on the table? ewww!

Now we know the true ingredients of “Spam in a can!”

susan, that’s great! I love it when you write lyrics….uh oh, I just remembered…I think I still owe you some music….might have to send me the words again..

.Number Six, I told Mike that I’d accept him into my liver, because it needs the help more..I have sinned against my liver, My doctor says my heart is fine……

Clever…
