Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 11, 2012

I find it ironic that Goat obviously has the bigger brain.

What this world needs is more humble geniuses – there are so few of us left.

Me the great!

My humility is the greatest in the land…..

I have a lot to be humble about.

Thank goodness Rat is humble! He might be a bit hard to take if he weren’t….

You just gotta love rat and his ginormous brain. He’s so humble. lqtm

Typical, arrogant, Rat. Gotta come up with an excuse to make himself seem more humble and only further prove his own arrogance.

Oh lord it’s hard to be humble when your perfect in every way.

Rat: “Often in error, never in doubt” (Anonymous)

“Go ahead; be jealous of me. You have every right to be.”

Rat and his beer . . . a lot in common .. . . big heads . . . ☻

Hey Rat, could you pick up that piece of paper for me?

I used to be conceited like Rat, now I don’t even have that fault!

Marvin was depressed, not paranoid.

I’d be a lot more humble if I had reason to be!

You know Mr. Pastis, that would make a great T-shirt or coffee mug! I know you can get the whole comic on a T or a mug, but I think I would like it if it just had a close up of Rat with the quote in large print. I would buy it!

Maybe if you don’t produce one, I will put that quote on my own shirt (private use of course, not sell).

At least give it a thought, Mr Pastis, I think that is gold.

Note that Goat turns his stool around to escape Rat’s ratness, whereupon Rat turns his around too, to continue the conversation and to help Stephan inject some variety into the visuals.

Think you’re really righteous?Think you’re pure in heart? Well, I know I’m a MILLION times as humble as thou art!

I’ve got a friend like this. Never worked on a political campaign, but he KNOWS…! got shafted a couple of times by the corporate big boys, and now…! he’s a libertarian.

Really a smart guy…but a little sadistic. Lives with a dog (a great dog) in luxury and lonely grandeur.

The guys that stepped on him left a ‘print’ and he’s formed himself LIKE them…which is why the Israelis have such a great tank Korps. Some people react to life that way, become like their oppressors.

I would actually dread to see the nice side of Rat. It would be pretty scary.

LOL xxx

I wonder how big Rat brains really are? There’s a reason why they are used in animal testing.

Knew a guy who thought I was ‘scary smart’ he even told people that. I’m not, he was just stupid.

Rat reminds me of the guy who thought he was developing an inferiority complex because he was starting to believe that there were people who were almost as good as he was.

@Radish And he did his job well… he waited. For a LONG time.

yeah, have another beer, genius.

not going to say a thing you guys already proved my point!

Reminds me of the religious who were getting together for dinner, and they got to talking about what their respective orders were known for. The Jesuit mentioned how proud they were of their obedience to the Pope, the Dominican talked about their great learning and scholarship. The Franciscan pointed to their pride in their poverty and their service to the poor. And the Benedictine chimed in about how proud the monks were of their humility.

+++++

But really, Rat is humble and not arrogant. He’s just being honest about his genius. </sarcasm>

When your ego is so inflated, it only takes a pin prick to burst it.

And all these years I just thought that was one of his ears.

I really don’t understand this “humility” thing. Honestly, I already grasp the obvious fact that I’m better than everyone else…

Some say I have an ego problem. I tell them I have a huge ego,no problem

“I’m a million times as humble as thou art!”
