At its heart, Pearls Before Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says that Pearls is "one of the few comics that make me laugh out loud." The strip has twice won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben division award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip – in 2003 and in 2006.

That’s not really a smile though. More of an evil smirk. Looks more like he is yelling anyways.

Rat resurrects and smiles again, almost 7 years in the future. But because of this episode, his ‘future smile’ is forced and unnatural.
