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.

Didn’t Rat once say he was going to rid the world of people who use stupid Internet acronyms, one user at a time?

And by the way, “the funny YouTube video that me and Goat emailed you”? That sound you just heard was the English language screaming for mercy as it was being tortured to within an inch of its life!

Poor Pig. He was so happy in panel one . . . the simple pleasure of giving the gift of laughter. Then crushed.

Remember Pig: If it happens on the internet it’s not real so no hurt feelings. ;)

My language is being raped before my face. Like Miniver Cheevy, I was born too late—and like Miniver Cheevy, I cough and call it fate and go on dreaming…

I thought you weren’t allowed to lie on the internet.

Toughen up, Pig! If you want to play on the innertubes, you’re going to have to develop one very thick pigskin.
There be monsters & bigots & trolls out there! Oh, my!

Rat’s LOL: Lack of Laughter?

Unless Rat was in it, or it made fun of everyone but himself, there is very little chance Rat would find any video funny.

Great! Yet another internet acronym.
TOO LOL

The “me” is deliberate — as a marker characterizing Pig. I find it used that way at least as early as Jane Austen.
