Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 09, 2012

Now cut it off and use it for baseball…

Better yet, swat rat with it.

ring toss? I normally suck at those.

Empathy, thy name is definitely not Rat.

Simple solution to this. Do to rat what you do to the crocs every day.

That’s gotta smart. Even if Rat is using plastic pretend-horseshoes (which I doubt). Just toss it back onto Rat’s enormously long nose, Zeeba Neighba!

Just happens to have his trusty horse shoes with him….

Close only counts in horseshoes and gernades, unless you’re only two feet from the stake where it’s a lot easier to get a ringer then close only counts in gernades. Course now Rat has armed Zebra and I be his aim is ten times better than Rat’s. And Rat’s nose looks like a pretty good stake.

Dat encouraging, Bob. Sign of weakness. Maybe invite him to Zeebacue.

A winner every time!!!

Zeeba neighba got shoes.

Bad ear days have consequences.

Love Rat’s facial expression.

Awwwwwww! Poor Zebra.

LOL LOL.

This strip is getting a 5/5!

rat was just trying to be nice….. well, maybe not

aren’t zebra ears supposed to stick up anyway?

Tad’s nads? Blown off by a ham gernade?

Can’t believe I’m the first one here to make this joke:“So did you sleep on your ear wrong, or are you just happy to see me?”

If your ear sticks up for more than four hours, call a doctor.

rat is a dead ringer . . . ☻

WHO would ‘shoe’ a zeeba?and why didn’t the all-puissant Rat use donuts?

ahhhhhh… what a friend you have in rat…. NOT!

score!

One could hurt someone by throwing horseshoes at someone’s head – better borrow some senso-rings from the Coneheads!

Zebra’s probably gonna make good use with that horse-shoe, as well… Rat won’t have a head once it’s made useful, though…
