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.

You mean the teenager from the episode “Charlie X” from the original Star Trek? (I had to kick that kid’s butt…!) ;-D

keep in mind that the majority of pearls fans are about as lazy as the writer claims to be, so we don’t drag our butts out of bed so early :D

Rat rallies to the side of his beset bud, cartoon-Pastis. Goldilocks 2011 a.k.a. CartoonCritic2544 (she somehow reminds me of the short-lived TV cult-SF show, Cleopatra 2525, from about ten years ago) dominates the field of honor, at least for now.

Patis luvs taking shots at other cartoonists in his strip, sometimes mockingly. so I’m wondering if this is aimed at another stirp?
