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.

By the time Rat finishes that 12-pack (or case?), Goat will be the greatest genius in all history!

As many have remarked on other strips, Rat definitely has a drinking problem. Which is what makes him think that another few beers will make his dreams come true. It won’t…it will ensure they stay just dreams.

Doing something in no way ensures anything. Doing nothing doesn’t either. It’s all dice rolling.

Womble — unless, of course, his greatest ambition is to get very drunk.

When I encounter an impedance I resort to my mantra
Ohm Ω Ohm Ω E=IR Ω I=E/R Ohm P=IE (I²R) Ω…
Z takes a little more meditation.

Or a six pack, whichever sounds good.

at least he did something about it, i’d say it’s a lil better than just wallowing in self-pity

If he had his life to live over, he would have lived over a liquor store.

How about an eraser?

Most men live lives of quiet desperation. Apparently, Rat does, too…
