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.

For once Rat makes sense.

Pig should watch “Fiddler on the Roof.”

… or the reason for doing something that’s just a pretext for getting together.

My thoughts exactly. Before I reached the end of the strip, I was hearing Topol belting out that song.

Way to hit the nail on the head, Rat.

no matter how un-kosher that silly and stupid swine is, he should watch it

With the references to ‘Fiddler on the roof’ and Topol, I was all prepared to jump onto my high-horse… until I took a step back and realised, yes, Rat’s correct… Law of averages, he has to be correct sometime.

It’s very freeing when you realise you don’t actually have to be friends with someone just because they’re a blood relation. And that you don’t necessarily like someone just because they share your DNA…and that it’s OK.

Even thoughI agree with that rodent, I still don’t like him.

For 20 – 21 years I had a tradition of going to an annual fall festival. And guess what, I can remember the reason for that tradition and the reason the festival began in the first place. The latter was so the city could get people out in the downtown area during the fall as people began to shun the area. Prompt folks to shop at local downtown buisnesses in the time before the Christmas shopping season. And the reason for my always going to the festival was because my family had gone to that first one as a fun evening out and to see what was being done in the way of harvest decorations.
And now that festival is in danger of being cancelled.

snoopster — only little kids think it’s “cool” to use that sort of language inappropriately.
I know you ARE a little kid…. but you don’t have to prove it.
If your mother won’t let you say it at home, please don’t say it here.
This is a family site, and a foul mouth has even gotten people banned.

The comment you must be referring to must have gotten deleted, so now YOUR comment doesn’t make sense. I HATE it when I can’t see, hear or read ALL sides of an argument.

Rat is glib, not smart. Pig is his hopeless, witless Second Banana. Goat is having an uncharacteristic lapse today; he should have been able to explain the Family Potato-Sack Race easily.
