Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 22, 2015
Transcript:
Rat: Have you ever noticed how everyone's Christmas card is now a photo of their family on some exotic vacation. As if to say, 'My family did THIS this year and yours did not'? Goat: So? Rat: So I did one of those cards myself this year. Here, have a look. "Merry Christmas from my #$%&$#& backyard." Rat: Compete with that, safari-taking yuppies! Goat: Mow your lawn.
Is it envy or sheer disdain that makes Rat so offended by others who have nice little personal vacations? Rat’s been on vacation for a long time. And why is he growing beer cans in his lawn grass? VERY hard to mow!
