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.

@margueritem
Rat does. He needs the kind of enemies that own a large rat trap manufacturing company.

Polka would be bad, but not half as bad as dubstep.

All is revealed!
RAT IS SATAN is Pastis’s alter ego; umm….

Yes, scpandich, there seems to be some intolerance of polka here. And then there is the dislike of bagpipes! How can anyone dislike the pipes? Whether Scottish, or Irish, or Greek, Turkish, Hungarian, or any other variety of bagpipe anywhere across much of Europe and the Near East and beyond, they are delightful instruments!

The scarier thought is… Where did Rat learn how to Polka?
