Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 29, 2022

Just tell him he looks like Mickey Mouse. That will make his head shrink.

Anybody have a pin?

He doesn’t deserve a big head but a bighead.

Kinda resembles Dumbo…

You are supposed to hand him a helium balloon first.

Pump up his head a little more and maybe it’ll explode.

Goat, you will never learn!

Introduce a cat to the household.

BUUUUUUURP. That should do it.

An enema should do it, since that’s what his head is full of anyhow.

Oh look. It’s Mickey Mouse.

No living with Rat now!

Dizzy Gillespie could have played Rat if they had done a Pearls movie a few years ago.

Now Rat’s a true airhead.

I’m going to link back to this strip on Twitter whenever I get in the mood for sarcasm.

Stephan , you are a " scream " with todays cartoon the image of the " Rat " is just precious , thanks LOL : )

That’s funny!

He looks like a float for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

This gave me a headache.

Funny how we give more validity to opinions that are complimentary.

I think it’s an improvement.

Actually, most things Rat writes or says are great.

Your head will swell! Aaand be great!

When Goat compliments you before mug and plate!

Starting here, starting now,

Rat, everything’s coming up proses!

What od you get a rat with a big head? A Big Hat.

Rat has a serious complex. Doesn’t he?

Us writers do love a compliment.

You mean you’ve like other stuff as well and haven’t said anything Goat?

Only Rat can have an allergy reaction to a sincere compliment.

Lol. Wonder what it said…..

Put a circle around your body and follow the dotted line…

Somebody really needs to put Rat in his place, to deflate his ego and show him that it’s not all about him.

Is this just Stephan’s way of provoking the Disney monster to see if he gets a reaction?

Rat looks much cuter, that way.

Looks like Mickey Mouse.

I’m the g uy they call little Mickey Mouse……got a sweetie down at the chicken house….

Sweet! Now I can leave Rat behind and he won’t hit me over the head with various sports equipment any more.

He looks so cute this way!

Actually, this is brilliant. He can’t get out the door, therefore the outside world is safe.

The door? Don’t worry about that. Those ears! Disney lawyers will be knocking on your door momentarily.

this should be a week’s adventure. Come to think of it, we haven’t seen any topics covering a week in a long time!

MICKEY!

Making fun of Herr Dumpster are we Pastis? Good job…….

Explains Mickey Mouse.

Doctor Phlox did it better in Star Trek: Enterprise, but Rat’s getting a Big Head is a metaphor for all that Rat is (and remember that, inter alia, Rat is Cartoon-Boy’s alter ego)….

I wish Stephan would do more stories with the Crocodiloes. They don’t always need to be going after game. Think slapstick like Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction.

this reminds me of the strip where rat thought (or maybe was pretending? you can never be sure with rat) he had a super power of inflating his head

Suddenly he looks like mickey mouse
