Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 20, 2018

I’m surprised Rat wants to be a member of a club that would have him for a member.

Hey Rat! To be in the Club of Exclusivity by yourself, you first need to eject the current members — Congress and the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Reminds me of a Jules Feiffer cartoon: I joined a support group for single fathers. But it was dominated by straight guys, so I joined a group for gay single fathers.But that group was dominated by white guys, so I joined a group for black gay single fathers.But that was dominated by middle-class guys, so I joined a group for working-class black gay single fathers.There are three people in the group.Empowerment!

I guess if you don’t like the rules of the club, they are easy to change.

Rat and Bucky over on Get Fuzzy have so much in common. Ironic that they would each snub the other.

Sounds like my house. I never realized that I had an exclusive club. I just thought I was lonely.

Well Rat I guess your club meetings are very short…….

We meet——. Wait a minute aren’t we technically always meeting?

Reminds me of the old Groucho Marx quip: “I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member”.

FOMA.

" I shall be beautiful and terrible. All will love me and despair." apologies LOTR.

As Grouch Marx is reported to have said, "I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”

One for one and all for one.

So Rat will need to guard the door to keep nonmembers, that is everyone else, out. In a very short time he will discover that he is a slave to 24/7/365.25 guard duty. Prison might be a bit more interesting.

I wouldn’t want to belong to a club that would have me as a member – Groucho Marx

Rat is a rat’s Rat!

Motorcycle club called the ‘loners’ I often wonder if they realize once they become a group they can no longer be loners?

I wonder if any of the people who are quoting Groucho Marx know why he said what he did?

When Groucho was first in Hollywood, he applied for membership in an exclusive golf club. He was turned down for being Jewish. Years later, when he was established as one of Hollywood’s greatest comedic stars, that club invited him to join ………….

Haw! I know some guys from that exclusive club! And I’m excluded!

Most people couldn’t care a rat’s a$$ about your club, Rat!

A club requires more than one member.

Remember what Groucho said…. “I wouldn’t want to be a member of ANY organization that wanted me as a member!”…. ;-)

Rat continues to be my hero.

When in college, I was co-founder of the Constitutional Anarchy Party. We had two members.

I so envy Rat!
