Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 28, 2012
Transcript:
Rat: My stupid know-it-all cousin from New Orleans wants to visit me... He's that guy who even when he asks a question just does it so he can show you what he knows. Goat: Isn't he that one from the garden district where all the wealthy tobacco, cotton and sugar merchants built their homes along St. Charles avenue in the 18402 and '50s when New Orleans was the second biggest port in the United States? Rat: Isn't sugar the thing I"m about to jam up your nose? Goat: Check please. Pig: Yes! Yes! That is sugar!

Love the crocs. Well, at least Goat gave us a sample of what Rat meant.

You know, I can actually empathize with Rat on this one. Even I find Goat insufferable right now!

I’m a lot like Goat, but I’m not quite this when talking to people. I believe that those of us who are amazingly smart shouldn’t lord it over everyone else.

The New Orleans cousin and Goat should have a “Know-It-All-Off” – with Rat as angry referee

Goat vs Rat’s cousin. Which is smarter?

Nice contrast. and I don’t think Rat is mean. He’s like Popeye, “I yam what I yam…” except he’s NOT good natured.
By the way, I like Pearls in Spanish. B-a-a-a-a-ah…!

And yet through all the tension in the comic, there is simple, blissfiully oblivious Pig. I love Pig. Even though he marches to the beat of a rhythmically challenged drummer, he’s no where near as annoying as the idiotic stuff I hear on the street every day. You go Pig!

Rat just hates the fact that there are others whose knowledge is vastly superior to his own. He want’s everyone to blindly believe he is the most superior being in every single facet of life when he is one of the more inferior beings in every facet.

Just as well it isn’t pepper. But still there’s no need for that, Rat. Not Goat’s fault he’s knowledgeable.
LOL xxx

Hmmm. Susan Sunshine isn’t here today, apparently, so I get to ask it first:
Isn’t Goat playing Jeopardy?
