Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 11, 2014
Transcript:
Rat: Would you say most people are happy, unhappy, or somewhere in between? Goat: Somewhere in between. Rat: Right. Yet when we pose for photos, we always smile. Which raises a question. Who are we feeling? Goat: Some points can be made without bullhorns. Rat: not the good ones.

Rat should not be using the word We. He never smiles.

From what I understand, it’s been a trend lately for certain kinds of people to do the “duck face”, or more recently, the “sparrow face”, in photos. I guess like birds of a feather, they’ve flocked up together. I’ll take a foolish smile, anytime.

Rat is so well prepared for his opportunity to harass and possibly deafen anyone who needs it! I never carry around a bullhorn just on the off-chance. And if I did, its batteries would turn out to be dead….

Time for Rat to get another job, some new pretentious thing to dismantle. Loved what he did with the Barista job….

I don’t smile in photos now, I find it’s more natural when you don’t flash a cheesy grin.
