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.

Rat, you’re just the best…

They’d better not let him linger near the other wedding gifts; he’d slip a few silver items into his pocket first chance he gets.

Goat actually uses the grammatically correct “What do you have there?”, instead of the less correct “What do you got there?”, which is a common expression in this strip.

Rat is the rodent version of Don Rickles.

It amazes me that Rat would spend that much money on a present.

Rat’s lying. Regular price s 125, he got it 75% off from the damage bin.

Hey…. I’m pretty sure real Macy’s price tags aren’t scrawled on yellow construction paper in blue crayon.

Or the even less correct, “What chew got there?”

Rat has family?!
And he’s going to a cousin’s wedding?!
And he actually spent 125 bucks on a present?!
C’mon, Pastis! How far are you going to push this “willing suspension of disbelief” thing?

Rat, Rat, Rat, how stupid can you get. Ya tell them it cost $125 and call ‘em morons their gonna think you spent $5 at best and are trying to look like you spent more. You leave the price tag on and call ’em morons and they’ll think you got something that was on sale at 75% or more off. What ya do is keep the price out and give it to ‘em. Get something that looks like you spent a few hundred on it but it only cost you maybe $20 not even on sale and they’ll think you’re very generous. But leave out the morons comment or they’ll think you didn’t spend anything at all on them.
