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.

Depends on what flavor smoothie. Rat is grosser than any spider, however.

Rat kills just about any topic by injecting it with venom and sucking the life out of it. He doesn’t even need a proboscis.
Then again, Rats DO have those long wriggly noses.

When I lived in Indonesia I used to enjoy avocado smoothies, in spite of the green colour.

Some people talk about gross things when other people are trying to eat.
Why can’t they take the gossip outside?

Garfield needs to come over and swat Rat with a rolled up newspaper. A spider conversation is worse than the actual spider!

You know what’s really gross? There’s a huge rat in that diner!

I notice that the copyright date on this strip is 2010. Is it one that SP had made and then decided not to use until he needed some filler?

I feel like the rat sometimes. Not because it’s my Chinese zodiac sign, but more likely saying things in the wrong environment.

No Backwash!
I guess this means Rat won’t be investing in a gross of straws?

(Sorry, Susansunshine, but after your punny post, I’m just grasping at straws.)
