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.

The chef looks like LGD. He and Rat together make for an awesome antagonist.

At the counter in the rear (panel 3) Rat and some guy (a hired hitman?) are sitting together, just before the lights go out! Or maybe it’s Rat and John Glynn, joined in holy hatred of cartoon-Pastis!
Is this the end of cartoon-Pastis? Stay tuned, Rat fans!
