Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 23, 2012

Silly Rat — that’s not the way to pick up a woman!

Uber SNERK!! for this one.

margaritum, he moved Ease, too? I think I went out with her a couple of times…yeah, that was her name…everybody called her Easy…Nice girl….

OK; and Rat complains about Stephan’s puns???

have some sensitivity, rat just had a moving experience.

sic semper tomatos

… lucky for Pastis this was Rat … had it been any other character, Rat would be in his office with a baseball bat over the severity of that pun …

I am pleasantly surprised that Rat was so quick to engage in practical experimentation!

Is Goat British? Most Americans would have said “overseas”. Yes, I know, it’s for the purpose of the pun—and besides Rat wouldn’t know what “abroad” meant, aside from wimmin.

@ orinoco: I’m American, and I say “abroad”. As in … “I once studied abroad. She slapped me, though.”

Pastis is clever with the Puns…but Scancarelli is king.

This is getting bad.

I think with Pastis there’s something amiss.

thank goodness the pun called for abroad and not the assinine common phrase these days, “Across the pond”

Keep those puns coming !!!!!!!!

I guess this is Pastis’ idea of broad humor.

Funny, but i was thinking of moving out of America to get away from all the people who hate.

lol

Rat needs to write more Danny Donkey stories. that will cheer him up.

Rat needs to move something else on a regular basis to help his outlook. Pluto water anyone?

heriseldon, yeah, Pastis paints with broad strokes….

[insert old school feminist high dudgeon here]

Okay, duty done. I’ve been a broad abroad, but it was years ago.

Since Rat already hates everything, he might as well stay where he is.

I’m kind of with Rat over this one today. Pastis needs a beatin’.

Looks like Rat had his Wheaties this mornin’……

Wrong broad.

Jeez, Stephan…

Try the decaf… [ ( : @ P

Is this what you’re looking for?

I hope he lifted with his knees (if he has them) and not his back.

And RAT complains about PASTIS’S puns??

This dude is so damn funny. I love Rat.

Pee-yew. Stinky one! But it IS funny.

I studied abroad my first semester in college…Her name was Jenny and she sat in front of me in accounting.

I’d suggest that Rat try feeling merry. Or jumping for joy—but that might just get him (and me) in more trouble. Especially if Merry or Joy know a good lawyer.

rat!that was very stupid moving a women

I hope you all aren’t judging others as hateful just because they don’t agree with your views. That’s the epitome of intolerance.

that’s a moll, broads are in aisle 3.

Great way to start the week Stephan!

What happened in Rat’s past to make him hate so much? That’s the real question. Is it man’s ability to be so horribly stupid?

is his strength starting the week? heheheheh

Lol!! Loving this strip more everyday!

Personally, I’ve always been a little concerned about rats that are capable of picking you up and carrying you away.

Wonder how she feels about Rat defining her as a broad.

a rat and a women.

Oh, of course. Rat’s a misanthrope

Funny, she looked pretty easy.
