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.

Uncle John’s Band or Salty Dog Blues? Uncle John’s Band was The Dead’s tribute to The NLCR, one of the most influential yet these days unknown bands of all time.

Since you probably wouldn’t get the job anyway, Pig, you might as well sleep in….

Wasn’t this joke in your twitter RatSpeaks? I’ve used it on numerous occasions.

Every time someone tells me, “The early bird gets the worm,” I remind them of the worm. He got up early and died.

That’s right, Pig! Get up early – and you will get EATEN BY A BIRD!

That is actually a very good point from Rat. Still the pessimist of course, but a good point.
