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.

Nah, rat, your nose just makes a nice spindle…

This one again? As great as Pearls is, it gets a bit dull to hear the same joke repeated so many times. Although the use of Rat’s nose in the lat panel is nice and original, though a mild punishment for such a high insult.

Spindle this, Rat! What does Google Analytics tell you about that?

I always did think all Rat’s appendages looked a bit spindly.
And his nose is what’s boring. Look — it bored right through those papers.

For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. 1 Peter 4:3-4

Impressive vocabulary, Rat. I didn’t think you had that much actual intelligence – thought you were just a stuffed shirt.

I work for a web company and have recommended to my boss that we simply send all of our clients this, instead of wasting time actually looking at their sites and coming up with the same conclusion all over again.

too bad Google Analytics doesn’t really tell you that! I guess that could be deciphered in the lack of returning visitors.
