Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 24, 2012

And actually, Rat, you ARE boring!

Rat+bat=Splat!

When will goat learn that a rat smooshes nicely under one’s hoof?

I first see angry Rat.

Hahaha… sigh…

I hate the dentist…

Stay away from rat.

Rat is boring. Let him try that stuff on Guard Duck. To paraphrase Connery, “You don’t bring a bat to a machine gun fight.”

Speaking of boring….

All you need for an image is <img src="URL" />

No href tag or other complication EXCEPT first check image properties and make sure the picture is 350 pixels or less wide.

If bigger, you must use <img src="URL" width="350" /> (or a number smaller than 350).

Without that, only part of it will display cos these boxes are 355 pixels wide.

Be sure the spacing and quotation marks are just as shown…. don’t let the width attribute touch anything else, no spaces inside quotation marks, etc…

To make it easy you can just save a few copies of what I typed in a text doc and use it repeatedly to paste in different image URLs.

Fore some reason the code posts with single quotes (’) — change them to double quotes…(") …. easy.

Hi Varnes —

I’m usually up this late…. not always still posting cos I should be in bed.

You’re up early!

I’m having a good tomato year too, so far …. knock wood.Ours are just starting to ripen.Sounds like you need to keep your bread on a leash!Or was it wild boar bacon?

Goat may now need a surgeon specializing in head injuries far more than a dentist. Drinking with Rat is inevitably messy (spilled coffee and spilled beer both today—twice the action!) and may be dangerous to your health….

@SusanSunshine and Varnes: I got up at 4:30, and i have school today! But my shower’s at 6, so that’s why im up

Rat is so insightful. It goes to show you, the more you know about the inner self, the more you can apply it to other people.

Laugh out loud – too true

Beer for breakfast: that’ll do it.

And now he really, really needs to go to the dentist. Any openings ,Herbie?

Is today “Let’s show everybody how much we need copyeditors” day? (See also Frazz.) It’s moti/vation.

It is true that Rat seems touchy today. Perhaps more so, slightly, than usual. PTSD? Little-guy complex? Really good friends to have sometimes. Goat really doesn’t know him very well nor read him at all, and the friction is foretold…I’ve hung out with some dangerous hair-triggers and by paying attention even an ignorant fool can get by. Friendship is a relationship, either side can start it. Hey, man, my name is…please tell me about yourself…

My ex who is always trying for money from me says “Its nothing against you, I really do not want to hurt you I just need the money.” usually followed by something to the fact of “I do it because I can, not because I want to hurt you, its not personal.”

YOU’RE BORING, RAT!

that’ll leave a mark

Really, Rat?

Resorting to violence?

You are boring, Live with it.

LOL xxx

For the first couple of frames, I thought someone had managed to slip Rat some Valium in his coffee…. instead, I just about snorted my coffee reading the last two frames …..

Rat is not boring. He’s actually very consistent. He’s an egotist. It’s all about him, even when it’s not about him.

@Gokie5 (from yesterday)

Another way to get symbols is to type up what you want in a document program like word, and then cut and paste. If you copy-and-paste, you even have the original for the times gocomics loses the comment.

Why does Goat have a snout?
