No need to beg, Rat. What with the latest hyper-contagious subvariant BA.5, the fact that almost no one is masking, and that it’s apparent that one can catch COVID repeatedly and that the damage it causes is cumulative, I’m pretty much back to lockdown monasticism. I enjoy my own company, so it’s not much of a problem, and I can pass the time commenting on the comics.
If that is the third party this month that Bob is having, I would be partied out, too. Besides, I don’t think that Bob and everyone else would mind that Rat doesn’t come, being that he always behaves like a rat.
Sounds like my neighbors. They have a screaming pool party every weekend, and occasionally during the week. In off times their dogs bark. We’re house hunting.

I liked the social distancing meant I didn’t have to hug or kiss people.

Rat is passing on an opportunity for free drinks, insulting people and making a fool of himself?

If it’ll make Rat feel better, let’s chain him down to his bed and use a padlock.

COVID precautions gave the neighbors a good excuse NOT to invite Rat to gatherings.
It gave them a further excuse to insist that Rat mask his mouth when he crash the gathering.

The lockdown has made many of us more careful of what we do!

Hey Rat! The party at Bob’s is not mandatory. You have a choice.
(Just don’t go … or … go and be your obnoxious self.)

He doesn’t have to go, anyways. So, why would he want to be under lockdown?

I’m with Rat half-way – I don’t miss the masks, but I do miss the solitude.

Rat’s really saying, “There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”

Rat knows a good excuse for avoiding pushy Neighbor Bob. Gotta admit, I kinda agree with him.
Make my excuses, too, Pig….
