Transcript:
Rat: I am going to develop a charming smile because charm is the key to convincing others. Goat: You've convinced me of something. Pig: Does someone need to visit the potty?
Larry Niven said the same thing in his stories about wars with cat-like aliens. Baring teeth as a friendly gesture is unique to humans, and maybe chimps.
The last time Rat attempted to smile like that he exploded (literally)! Check out the strip from January 23, 2005.http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/01/23
On the farm we called this a s*&^ eating grin, generally from watching a farm dog eating poo as they are want to do….you realize that with the upcoming election the candidates will be serving a whole lot of it to us to digest……
I have a Lab – Sheppard that smiles when she sees me.She sees us smiling and has learned that is how we communicate happiness and affection.My nephew has a Pit bull that does the same thing.It looks really strange,
The happiest Rat has ever looked was in the strip where he learned that he couldn’t be fired from Joe’s Roastery because he was their only rat. Anyone know what date that strip is?

Is Rat aiming at becoming a TV shill or huckster? His really big teeth remind me of Tom Torquemada’s (in Pibgorn).

Pig, you might want to put on a diaper, just to be safe. Just stick it over his head.
