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.

And Richard will love this strip! Can’t wait to see Stephan’s take on Cul-de-Sac.

Zebra… the brick wall & Crocks problem… the photo of the Crock and Zebra doing the Badonkbadonk, Zebra and Plaid…
Where are these stories? They seem to just dissolve… no or not much closure for their story lines.

@margueritem
Yes, I agree with you Marg. I’m looking forward to that too.

I hate those hats with the adjustable strap on the back.

@DuHhozr
Astute observation, DuH … so on point!
But I agree with you, anyway.

Oh,no! L’il Guard Duck, how could you?! Who put up to this? And ninja-Pig: SHAME ON YOU! Poor Richard will no doubt write in his blog about the violent Pastisians, once he regains consciousness, and cartoon-Pastis will have to take up Richard’s duties for a few days in recompense (and to avoid having his socks sued off). You watch and see!

@Dogsniff: Yes there are, and some makeup for all the rest that don"t. Pretty amazing items they are.

That Guard Duck annoys me to the max.
