Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 04, 2020

I’m assuming his income doesn’t depend on tips.

Proof Rat’s job is non-essential.

1.5 metres between the bar stools, guys!

He could put a glass shield between him and his customers like some banks have.

Who wants a rat touching what you eat or drink?

Grocery clerks really are on the front line. Or at least in the battle. Bartenders, not so much.

“…you putz!” Looks like Pastis got clean away with it this time.

how many weeks prior to its release does pastis write the strips?

Imagine there’s no Starbucks; it’s easy if you try…

asking us to believe that rat works in any kind of customer service position is a big stretch…

Now on our stage The One , The Only … Rat :-) … Croc Power !

One “re-definition” of the word “coffee” is: “the one who is coughed upon”. :D

Stay away for a while yet, Rat!

You put a cup under the spout, a K-cup in the top, close it and press a button. Presto!

Rat has never been a refined meece!

Sometimes I love Rat way too much-

They shouldn’t even be at that bar.

I’m hoping to open my own brewery soon.

The bars and restaurants were the first things shut down around here. The restaurants that can are doing a version of drive-through, and their cooking area has to be big enough so the cooks aren’t breathing on each other.

Seems to me, from a long ago Google, “barista” is the feminine, not that there’s anything wrong with it and I get my cappuccino.

We miss the crocs.

Rat is certainly the world champion at social distancing.

Teach people how to make them, and they won’t be bothering you anymore.

I dunno. I kinda like Rat’s brand of telecommuting….

They might make Canadian Bacon out of him…
