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 military is now cool with it if they are. Though it would certainly explain a thing or three.

They never asked, and he never told.

Beetle Bailey is a man protecting his comic strip from relevance and humor. I googled it, and apparently he did show up in one strip behind some sandbags with a gun and bullets flying over head. In 2011. But the next day, it was same crud as usual.

You’re asking to be shot Stephan.

This is my rifle, this is my gun.
This is for shooting and this is for fun!

That’s just wrong.
The closest thing to a sweetie for Sgt. Snorkel is Sgt. Lugg. They actually dated a time or two. Truth be told, Snorkel is married to the Army.
Beetle and Ms. Buxely frequently date.
Ever hear of Beetle Bailey Burgers in the grand metropolis of Culver?

Funny, I thought Beetle had benifits with Miss Buxley.

This situation is intolerable! The West Coast forces must launch a retaliatory strike to free Cartoon-Pastis, before the East Coast gang tortures or executes him! (I can forgive his crude gallows humor under the circumstances.)
FREE CARTOON-PASTIS!
