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.

I still think it looks more like George Jetson, which is quite fitting since “The Jetsons” is the cartoon equivalent of “Family Circus.”

re: Cereal Killer
.
Until about 3 years ago, we had a cat who loved Cheerios, oat bread, anything with oats. We’d give her a few Cheerios frequently as treats. We sometimes jokingly called her the “cereal killer.”

Surely I’m not the first poster to point out that crocodiles, not being mammals, don’t have any hair to begin with. (They’re also not bipeds or a number of other things depicted in this comic, but that’s another matter.) What the lady croc has on top must be a removable hairpiece.
