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.

Certainly not one his most ‘tasteful’ or ‘sizzling’ strips.

But Pig, it’s such a fashionable grill, a real “in” grate!

You know, it takes a great deal of skill to come up with a pun that’s so subtle, yet so eye-rollingly awful at the same time. Stephan, you da man!

@rusty gate
I agree. Perhaps Stephan needs a vacation.

Not fair to rake Stephan over the coals for a grate pun.

I’m touched by Goat’s sadness in the last frame.
He really does not want to hate anyone, but just HAS TO BE aggravated by Stephan’s wit.

I’ll be worried for Stephan once Pig starts hating the puns. Unlikely, given that he’s always the mouthpiece for them.
