Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 02, 2011

Spank those latte lovers.

I think “Number 6” may be a reference to the TV show The Prisoner.If it is, it’s very cool.

Rat has a point. NO YOU MAY NOT COME OUT! Sheesh.

The customer is ALWAYS right, Rat – even when he’s so wrong!

But Grog, that customer IS right (over there in the corner).

Ay!

Hm, why do I have a feeling you shouldn’t just order a “Cup of Joe”.

Actually, Flim, Rat would probably try to give you a cup of Joe….or a slice….

I’ve always liked this site better. It’s easier to use. i usually just use the alphabetical listing for the comics. I miss the editing part, though. Hopefully it will come back..

Friends from comics.com, for a host of clever commentary, Brewster Rockit and Non Sequitur can’t be beat. Those strips are some of the best, too!..

How did I get promoted to Pro?

Why are there no Sunday strips here? The old site had Sundays.

@Varnes – the comments are easier to use than comics.com. But the interface has goats lining up. What is so hard to implement about reading my comics without clicking Every. Single. Strip? I prefer to read a few strips at a time, usually when I’m waiting for something else to load in another tab.

@susansunshine – Thanks for the encouraging words, Susan. I’ll give it a couple weeks to see if there are any improvements in the interface, but that’s it. I’ll miss my daily comics, but the aggravation of the interface outweighs the enjoyment of the comics.[And to whoever didn’t like all the punning on comics.com, go lex yourself.]

Would Rat reward me for ordering just plain coffee? That’s what I’m waiting to find out.

@Varnes – love Non Sequitor, always had to get it from Aracmax, nice to see it here, will check out comments. Thanks!

I’m with Rat on this one; a lot of today’s customers can really use some discipline. Let’s start by publicly spanking the ones who yak into cell phones in restaurants.

lol

lol

I have concluded from the evidence at hand that Rat did not successfully complete barrista schooling.

Speaking of which, I think it’s time to add this one to My Comics!

You need to rewrite the employee handbook, Rat!

Rat does not discipline. He IS discipline.
