Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 30, 2019

I hope Rat cleans up after himself.

Don’t invite Rat next time you have a social gathering, Goat.

Poison him next time!

I do all my socializing the safe way-via the internet. ;D

Nice of Rat to take the veggie burgers that fell on the ground and the stale beer.

So we gather, Rat.

Hurricane Party? I’d leave too…[and am]

It’s been said before, but he’s a rat!

Sort of agree with Rat why be inside when you can be outside . The weather will be changing soon for a lot of us :-(

I’m an introvert and hate crowds, small talk and noise. I’m with RAT on this one!

Not much left in the kitchen now!!!

I like social gatherings, but all the standing around makes my legs burn.

Rat for president. He’s running on the anti-social party.

I’m not anti-social I’m just not social.

They ain’t missin’ you at all, Rat.

Doesn’t he know party rules: the price of the food is your lovely company — why was Rat invited?

Rat instantly made that party so much better. Here rat! Have another 6-pack. Feel free to stay away longer! :D

Back in the days when I was a smoker, the best part of the party was always on the back patio with the other “impures”.

I agree with Rat. Plus, Rat leaving probably made Goat’s party better too.

Why does remind me of a George Thorogood song.

Rat and I share the same philosophy…“Humanity would be great if it wasn’t for all the people!”

I’m with Rat, on that one depending on the subject

Goat knows how Rat is, why would he be stupid enough to invite him to anything?

Now a days, right on!

Rat is my hero!

Amen.

I almost had to socialize once.

It was awful.

Maybe I’ll do that at the next family get together at my psycho relatives’ house. Or, better yet, maybe I just won’t show up!

Why did Goat even invite Rat? Did he want to encourage people to leave early?

good luck rat’s stomach

I feel your pain, Rat, I do not do communal dining.

As Linus once said, “I love humanity. It’s people I can’t stand.”

Rat is just evil! Love it!

Gotta say I’m with Rat on this issue (well, not really “with” so much as separate but in agreement). We introverts are not huge Party Fans….

I just love getting together with all my friends……… as long as they’re on Facebook and I can unfriend them. That’s the social interaction I like!

At least he’s not leaving with the home entertainment system and the laptop. And I guess he didn’t throw up on the carpet or do other nasty stuff on the carpet.

That’s funny to read in 2021 with everyone looking forward to that social part.

rat…why?

I can relate to Rat. The only party I enjoy going to is a Super Bowl party.
