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 should have offered her a roll in the mud.

Pig, that’s NOT what it means to “do it like they do on the Discovery channel!”

Offer her a banana first next time.

Just as an aside, yesterday’s strip picked-up over 160 comments. Has any other subject animated the readership quite so passionately?

It’s easier to walk over a lousy date than it is to drive over a lousy bicyclist without going to jail. Unfortunately…

Hang on pal. Once she accepts she’s a pig, she’ll chillax.

It’s the old Spilled Wine Trope! Seriously, Pig, what on earth do you see in that awful Pigita, besides fleas?

Who else does he stand a chance with? She’s like the only female character in the strip except for Larry the croc’s wife.

Yeah … and it’s pretty cool how the comments on Pig’s bacon are sprinkled in amongst the rants on bikers and motorists … hee, hee !!

Totally logical – he wanted a flea, which made her want to flee.

Curse you Pastis! I saw the ad for the new app on the bottom of the email version of GoComics and had to get it. You will get yours! (Wait, you already did, because I had to pay for it.)
Happy, happy, happy!!!
