Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 19, 2014
Transcript:
Rat Visits a Psychologist Psychologist: Rat, I've concluded that each of the faceless people who follow you are a manifestation of the guilt you feel for the people you've hurt in your life. Rat: No offense, doc, but if that were the case, there would be a lot more people than this. Person: We were trying to respect the fire code.

Quit while you’re ahead, Pastis. This strip was good; any more in this arc will be beating a dead horse.

Pastis, see me after class so we can discuss verb tense. In your first panel, it should read, “Each….is”. At least Rat got the subjunctive correct.

Me neither, Number Three. The Rat’s a sociopath – it’s what makes him so appealing.Hope he gets a job as a news anchor soon…

I think the 2nd panel was drawn once, copied and pasted. There are 0 differences between it and the 3rd except for speech bubble…
