Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 18, 2012

I think future biographers would want a little more detail on how Rat silenced doubters.

Really, Goat, why do you bother engaging Rat, when you know it will only end badly?

Goat looks a little like pig in that last panel.

Why is Rat drinking coffee and not beer?

hahaha…pearls is the best strip EVER!!!

I have three of the books:“Pearls Sells Out”“The Sopratno’s”“Lions and Tigers and Crocs”

going to get the new book soon…can;t wait :D

I beleive there was a chap in England who documented every bowel movement he had as an adult..OK posters….have at it.

How do I reserve my copy?

I never saw that side of Goat before.

He was in congress. They DON’T get any serious work done

In sixty years from this event an elderly Rat will be sitting in the nursing home, where the nurses and others who attend to the folks there are largely ignoring him (do to his abusive nature to them) except when they absolutely have to change his diapper (yep, Rat’s going to have to wear a diapper, but Pig, Goat, Zebra, and Guard Duck won’t need one) or wipe his mouth do to his excesive drooling (most of the seniors there ain’t drooling, just Rat), when a biographer comes in.

Biographer: “Mr. Rat, I Joe Schmoe, biographer to the stars.”

Rat: “Oh, I knew you’d be coming to do my biography. Here, I recorded the events of my life so you can get an accurate account of my life.”

Biographer: “That won’t be needed, sir.”

Rat: “It won’t? Oh, I see you already managed to read it and have written my biography already. Just want to give me the very first copy, eh?”

Biographer: “I’m here to talk to you about the most interesting person you know?”

Rat: “That’s me! Well, I was born…….”

Biographer: “No, I’m afraid you misunderstand. I want to talk about Mr. Pastis. What, you think someone actually want’s to read a bio on a stuck up jerk with no major redeeming values like you?”

Rat has dumped poor, overly erudite Goat headfirst into the trash, causing Goat to spill his coffee! Rat’s literary aspirations may not turn out so well, however.

Love Rat

Senator + Florida = Silly

I’m interested in the bio-mechanical details of how little Rat stuffed full-grown Goat into a too-small bucket in one-minute.

Rat would love Twitter. Posting to it, that is; I don’t think he could stand the fact that others could do the same thing.

2:54….took alaskajohn’s advice and opened a beer….

A journal, how quaint. It’s like retro-tweeting.

Temper Temper, Rat!

LOL LOL. Funny!

xxx

/Arrogant or not, your every word, action, et al are being recorded. Please take this seriously, repent and believe. See Prov 24:11-12

I’m hoping this week of strips will build up to Goat getting revenge on Rat. After all, he’s done it before…

That goat is a horny creature. How do they fit in that bucket?

looks like a typical Farcebook post to me.

good call yesterday

10:31. Twittered about how lame I think Twitter is.

Just like Roland Hedley. Thoughts?

My aspiration is to go through life as quietly as possible, leaving behind little but the good memories of those I touched.

its ok rat, your every move is already chronicled by stephan pastis. future generations will read the collections and say: what a rat he was.

Ack—I’m slipping! I should’ve KNOWN that the seemingly innocent-looking empty trash can from the first panel would play a big role in the gag.

Shame on me. lol.

It’s like how Calvin and Hobbes review last G.R.O.S.S. Club’s meetings.

greg heffley is crying somewhere
