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.

Won’t be getting any fan mail from that flounder…
kreole said, almost 2 years ago
That was in no way a flounder…..both of their eyes are on the same side of the head. And green? Give me a break…they’re brown.

@ Jim: Pastis doesn’t read these comments. He said so in one of his books.

@kreole
Could be a young one. They start out normal, then one eye migrates to the other side. I can’t think of an excuse for being green. It’s not easy being green.

Tune in tomorrow folks when Pig announces he’s just bumming.

Kreole — yeah, yeah — and just for the halibut, he has more mussels than a flounder and he isn’t drawn to scale. Stephan didn’t take an ocean to be realistic, he was just fishing for a pun.

I wonder if that flounder has met Pig’s sea anemone enemy (try saying that five times).

Flounder, heh? Guess that kills my “Green Dolphin Street” joke [1947 movie, for those who don’t recognize the title].

Folks, sorry for a bit off topic, but could you please say – is anywhere there a Pears archive or something? I’ve looked on Facebook Stephan page and did not find. I guess it should be somewhere! Please help!

Right above the Comic on the right side there is a small calender icon. You can try that.(I don’t know how far back it goes)
