Transcript:
Rat: I hate the guy sitting next to you. Goat: Do you even know him? Rat: No. It's the 'three or more affectations' rule. Goat: What's that? Rat: An affection is something you do that is designed to impress others. Goat: I know what an affectation is. What's it have to do with hating someone? Rat: If a guy has three or more affectations from the neck up.I know he's the kind of idiot I'd hate. Goat: So what counts as an affectation. Rat: Earrings. Tattoos. Piercings. Stylish hats. Coiffed hair. Sideburns, goatees, handlebar mustaches, designer glasses... And the more he has, the more of a @#$@# he is. Pastis: Hey, guys... Guess who got a new look. Goat: I guess that rule always right every time always. Rat: Yep. Pastis: Do you like the beret better?

Other considerations aside, can anyone explain why so many otherwise attractive young women seem to think a “snot dot” on the side of their nose makes them more appealing?

GagCartoon-Boy, go home. Look in the mirror. If that doesn’t tell you anything, I’ll personally supply Rat with a baseball bat….

S.A.D. is the abbreviation for an affliction already, Seasonal Affective Disorder. Most people know about it, but the person that posted it probably has it, because that was pretty sad.

No, I do not like the beret better! Bad look on you, cartoon boy. I think the worst part is the red glasses.

Mr Pastis, you need to stop with the midlife crisis. It gets you nothing but bad tattoos and an STD.

“…always right every time always.” Somehow that sentence sounds awkward, but for this strip it seems most adequate.

Watched a friend do it. Wouldn’t listen when we told him he had it all. His wife was working two jobs so he would be able to retire early, the following year in fact. He said she didn’t pay enough attention to him and moved to an apartment so he could boink a stripper. The man left a wife who bought him a hydraulic motorcycle lift for Christmas, that’s nuts!
