Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 09, 2015

I admire Rat’s self-confidence.

Today’s background music: “Nobody But Me” by The Human Beinz.

I bet Rat’s surname is “Trump”

Rat has a high opinion of himself.

Meh. No one is perfect. Not even me. But I’m as close to perfect as any mortal has ever come.

So does this mean that Rat’s an angel? And that the world has let him down? Imperfection all around? Somebody oughta tell Rat that nobody’s perfect, we are what we are.

Like Rat, Crazy Hair is worth a laugh or two.

Does Rat have a List of Mortal Enemies?

“Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humbleWhen you’re perfect in every wayI can’t wait to look in the mirror‘Cause I get better lookin’ each day….."etc, etc…..

Note the big head on Rat’s beer.

So……Rat has Road Rage 24/7………….have a nice heart attack !

I wonder how many will miss the not so hidden message in this strip. I have seen a couple so far.

Some people think like Rat unfortunately

I think rat’s attitude is perfectly plausible. I came to the same conclusions myself years ago. Believe me, it’s the only way to survive. You go, rat!

Goat, you will never teach Rat humility by such indirect methods. Get his baseball bat and knock some sense into him.Oh, wait. That wouldn’t be right, either….

There are a lot of people like Rat. Wouldn’t it be great if they could all be made to live together in the same country/state/province/city?

The only thing Rat is perfect at is being a rat a—!xxx

Guess no one got it.

song getting airplay. let’s make a list of all the things this world has put you through. let’s drink a toast to all the people you’re not speaking to. i don’t know what you want me to say to you. things happen, that’s all there ever is. things happen.

“9-1-1. What’s the exact location of your emergency?”“Hi. I’m on the interstate eastbound and I want to report some very dangerous driving.”“What kind of dangerous driving sir?”“Cars driving the wrong way on my side of the highway!”“Cars sir? How many cars are doing this?”“They all are!”

Cross-species pollination! My wife has rat DNA!
