Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 26, 2018

Rat, some of them punch back.

Ah ! The old gunboat diplomacy! Works every time….Almost!

Easy, until they turn around and sue you.

Or sometimes, run like hell.

If they each answer half the questions, pig will test out as bipolar or schizophrenic.

(D) is not the correct answer when the “someone” is a croc.

You’re Fired!

Five fingered diplomacy!

I’d like to call Rat a “Man for Our Times.” But he’s a rat. Oh, well. If the shoe fits …..

Rat has achieved conflict resolution.

In “Hill street blues” a seargent (I can’t name him because I saw it In Italy in Italian version : he was nemed “Bufalo”) at the the end of the briefing said “Who hit first hit twice”

To many folks are picking “D” now……..that is why we have drive-by shootings…

You are qualified to join Antifa, Rat.

E. Accuse them of sexual misconduct.

F. Call them a NaziG. Harass them until they are forced to leave the restaurant.H. Hit them with a bicycle lock.

Pull out a gun and shoot them. Seems to be the new answer.

The internet.

Who does Rat think he is? Mike Tyson?

“Them”? Sounds like he’s fighting a group.

E) Label them a racist-Islamophobic-sexist-homophobic-Nazi on Twitter and start a flame war.

I didn’t know Rat was an Antifa member.

This type of comic is appropriate in today’s society as we have become a nation of “rights”. The only “rights” we have are in the Bill of Rights. Everything else is a “privilege” and should be worked for. I have a question: Why do Obama and Winfrey both claim Chicago as home, but neither live there nor funnel any of their millions to aid the poor people in that city? Winfrey built a school in Africa, but what has she done for Chicago? Obama claims he got his political start there, but no mention of it when he was in office and certainly none now. I wonder if the poor democrats understand that their elite that tells them we need to tax the rich are among the wealthiest? (Look up Pelosi and Water’s wealth. Even Bernie has 3 mansions.)

LIFE HACK. The answer is always “D.”

Headshot, coming up.

GoComics, you’ve got to fix the comic preview on URL https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine

. It shows the middle pane and ruins the joke. Please change preview to show the first panes.

Reminds me of the strip where Rat gave Larry a box of ‘feeder mice’ (actually clones of himself that he was trying to dispose of). Later when the clones showed up at the coffee shop where he was working, Rat asked Larry, ‘You can’t handle feeder mice?‘. Larry replied, ’Dey punch me in head.’

Hey Steve!! This one got totally out of hand!!!

B- Not because it’s easy, but because it is hard

A or D, that is the question. Some folks are not amenable to Friendly Persuasion. That’s where Rat’s Solution must be applied….

Duh, rat doesn’t need to take a conflict course, it comes naturally to him.
