Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 21, 2013
Transcript:
Rat: Is it true that witness protection programs totally remove people from their surroundings and make them live with all new families and friends. Goat: Yeah, why? Rat: I'm thinking about volunteering. Goat: I don't think that's how it works. Rat: @#*@#* Know a mobster I can testify against?

Let’s give Rat someone to testify against, and then give that gangster Rat’s name and address.

If WPP was volunteer, I think I’d be submitting an application, too. Does whistle-blowing against the government qualify?

Wouldn’t the other PBS characters (and Pastis) chip in the cost to get Rat into the program?

Yes, I could name a mobster for you, Rat, but could you then do your part and give devastating testimony against him—the kind that would get you into Witness Protection? Wouldn’t it be easier for me to rat on Rat and have him rubbed out?Hey, Cartoon-Boy, what’s your alter ego character worth to you? If you know what I mean….

Sorry Rat but Mittens would get to you before you even have the chance to enroll.

I’m sure Rat doesn’t even have to do anything in the future…there must be something in his past that will get him in.

What would Rat want with new family and friends? He’d probably hate them as much as the old ones.

PBS is consistently funny . I really enjoy it when Pastis brings in other cartoon characters. I wish he would feature some of the really dumb ones such as Nancy, Blondie, etc.

What’s with Goat’s nose in the final panel?

Never say that, Goat.
Rat didn’t order your opinion.
