    I’d have thought a purity ring would cause Rat to burst into flames.

    Anyone who drinks pure vodka probably lives in a state of confusion.

    Oh, sure, Cartoon-Boy. Blame it all on Rat, as though you had no hand in it! Nice way to duck [no LGD intended] responsibility!

    I had to look it up to find out what a purity ring was. Having done so, I would imagine that most of the people wearing them do so not because of religious conviction, but due to lack of opportunity.

    Abstaining from sex with another until marriage.,He could put Rat on probation then say, “You’re being let go. Your department’s being downsized. You’re part of an outplacement. We’re going in a different direction. We’re not picking up your option. Take your pick. I got more.”.Yea watched Emperor’s New Groove recently.

    The complaints Pastis gets sound like they come from the most oversensitive individuals. Like the PTC…

    I always thought that Pastis wrote the strip, now I see in the last panel that it is Rat. I suppose that makes some kind of sense, even though it escapes me.

    I like it pure, no visible particles…. and I prefer my tonic equally filtered. Vodka tonic… second only to gin and tonic.

    What Stephan has to remember is that he has an eraser…

    Just a thought.

    He also needs to know he would never get complaint mail from me!

    I’d take Beefeater’s over Bombay (and even liked Seagram’s as the everyday option, until they started getting so popular they raised their price).

    Rat is probably going with Spiritus 198 proof vodka… Purity is important….

    A purity ring was and maybe still is worn by teens who are committed to staying virgins until marriage.

    I thought this was going the Beer route, i.e. Germany’s beer purity laws
