Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 06, 2020

You’re going to be replaced even if you don’t have kids.

He’s actually doin’ the world a solid.

Having children means you are being repeated, not replaced…

Better for all of us, who wants to have more jerks like Rat in this world?

Rat would be a bad role model for a baby goat.

Haven’t seen the gators in a while!

Sorry Rat, we’re all part of a passing parade!

Unusual for a rat not to reproduce. Female rats typically give birth to 6 to 7 litters per year, with 5 to 12 pups per litter.

Another Rat is too much for our Planet .

Can’t seem to think of anything to say for this one. You’d think I’d have a pregnant comment…

You could replace him with a shot of espresso. That too is small and bitter.

I’m in favor of adoption. I don’t have kids, but if I did, I would give them away for adoption.

Rat must have found a barber yesterday.

if my replacement part is my son….God help us all…….

I always wanted to have kids, but i could never find a woman who wanted to have any with me.

Biological Reproduction issues with this one ! Rat you get a Tax deduction in the process :-) … Croc Power !

Who else remembers “Rat Junior” from a while back? He adopted him I think, but he left for some reason.

Ooooh RATS!

Gators!!!!!!

Unlike my wife, I haven’tr had kids. Hers both failed to launch and there will never be any grandchildren.

The old “If I do not look at it, it is not real” mentality, which is usually associated with children.

Where did Rat get his hair cut?

It Rat does have kids, there will be hundreds of them.

Biblically, I suppose it’s better to have no children than to have been destroyed and all your seed.

I choose not to breed. I don’t want my offspring having to suffer in this cruel, cruel world

Who’s going to take care of you Rat in your old age? For a number if reasons don’t bet on robots. Then again I doubt any kids Rat has will want to care for him anyway.t has

I always told my kids to play whatever sport they wanted to ( if they chose to play a sport ), to follow any career path the desired ( if they wanted a career ), read whatever they liked, to believe in whatever religion they found their faith in, the to support any political party they felt would govern best and most of all be honest with themselves and others_, be comfortable in their own skins and sexualities and remember that they were not an extension of my own ego. They were individuals who could think for themselves and were responsible for their own actions and choices. But I would love and be supportive of them – no matter what!

An I reading Pearls Before Swine or The Wizard of Id?

I never quite looked at it that way. Instead, I’ve always figured that the best thing I ever did for my kids was to not have them. These days I’m sure of it…

You’re here for your offspring to blame for how they turned out.

No kidding, eh Rat?

Rat has Attitude. In this case, I’m inclined to sympathize with him….

I never wanted kids of my own. Poor little buggers might look like me.

Aren’t children supposed to bring parents closer?
