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.

@giratina08
he didn’t die, everyone else died because the comic strip blew up.

I actually read part of contractual term and it said almost the same thing. The guy who wrote it must have been BORED.

@De_Faulto My sister, her friend and I spent an entertaining fifteen reading through all the instructions on a gift card once. The authors of those sorts of things get bored too and they know most people won’t read it…so they get creative.
