<p>The most popular strip I have shared so far is one I decided to call <a href="https://brettfish.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/fasting-morons"><strong>&#8216;Fasting Morons&#8217;</strong></a> which has got the hugest number of popularity hits as people really resonated with it. I suspect this one will not be far behind. Thank you Stephan Pastis for voicing, via Rat, the words many of us have secretly thought, but been too afraid to say [along with &#8216;Will there be a special spot in the corner for the christians who stuck THOSE bumper stickers on their cars? You know who i mean]:</p>

<p>Stephan Pastis has a new Pearls Before Swine treasury called &#8216;Rat&#8217;s Wars&#8217; which i am totally going to get to add to my PBS collection and you should too. I&#8217;m hoping that endorsement will finally push Stephan over the line when it comes to adding a yellow-and-white stuffed dolphin called No_bob [cos he doesn&#8217;t bob] into his strip, even as a once off cameo.</p>
