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.

When Congress had JPL abandon nuclear propulsion in 1986, they guaranteed if a comet or daisyoid comes to smack Earth, we’ll be able to yell really loud before it goes clonk. And not much else. In calculating such an event for a book, a 1km rock at 10,000 mph weighs in with a kaboom about the equivalent of twelve of the Soviet’s Tsar Bomba’s.

Strike up the Beer-on-Belly Polka, band-guys! —Followed by a Dirge for Terra. It may be pointless, but it might as well be fun!

OK, another reason NOT to use speaker phone, beyond it’s just plain annoying.

I come from the future. The first BIG one hit ten days after all the nations of the world united and declared peace, and 2 days after the terrorists of the world said Hey, blowin’ people up is boring…Just your luck…sorry….

Funny, I thought clocking someone after they ask you to help with their garage is a clear enough refusal. (July 23, 2012) Apparently, Goat just won’t give up on getting Rat to help.

Typical. Find any lame excuse not to do something he promised. Yet if someone promised Rat they’d help him with something and then had to back out because they were in the hospital after getting seriously injured in an accident he’d go there and beat them up for breaking their promise to him.

I wonder where they would have gone if it hadn’t been a nice day?

Scattering all of that dust in the air may help offset man made global warming.

This inspires a whole new image for the phrase “beer belly”.

Put the beer on the belly and drink it all up,
Put the beer on the belly and drink it all up,
Put the beer on the belly and drink it all up
And call me in the moooooorning, yes call me in the morning.

If it was important, Goat would have kept the garage tidy first off.

Are there really 47,000 asteroid that could decimate our planet, or is Rat pulling facts out of his gluts again?

Need to get a beer, catch up with you on the hill.
