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.

… and what about Rat’s affinity for beer? No brewery on that tombolo…

Yeah, sure. If you were really serious about getting away from it all, Rat, you would not have chosen for your new hermitage an islet mere feet offshore from the mainland.

Too bad. It seemed like such a tidy solution.
Since when does Rat have a “good friend”?

Or the cost to get beer delivered. You can get anything you want, anywhere you want, for the right price.

This reminds me of Bar Island in Acadia National Park. At low tide you can walk there over a land bridge. But if the tide comes in, you’re stuck there until the next low tide (unless you want to swim for it).
