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.

But, y’know, there are whole lots of leftover “)”s from all the asides where people started out with a “(” but forgot to finish it off by dropping the other shoe. Maybe some of THEM can be repurposed as “!”s. (Or maybe we can get some Spanish speakers to flip a few "¡"s for us.)

That’s why I often substitute “1” or “eleven” in my use of multiple exclamation points.
Just doing my own little part to help the grammar ecology.
