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 know, I can actually empathize with Rat on this one. Even I find Goat insufferable right now!

I’m a lot like Goat, but I’m not quite this when talking to people. I believe that those of us who are amazingly smart shouldn’t lord it over everyone else.

Is Rat any relation to the 64 million rats in New York City whose numbers will continue to increase if the city does not do anything about the poor garbage disposal, increased construction or the inefficient coordination of the city’s response to this problem?
Just askin’.

@JohnnyDiego
He’s probably related to one of those subway rats one sees darting around on the railbed. They’re fast and nasty and nearly indestructible.
