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.

Who knows what evil lurks in hearts of creatures? Rat the Annoying knows.

Yeah! What’s up with that? And what happened to the plates?

@naturally_easy
What happened is that Rat enforced his “superpower” image by partly following Goat as Goat exited stage right. The plates haven’t disappeared; Rat simply walked over to Pig’s right side, which puts him far to the right of the plates, which are to the left of Pig where they’ve always been.

Whew! I can sleep now. Somebody get that filthy rodent off the table!

Rat has moved stage-right (viewer’s left) and up unto the table, past Pig. That’s why only Pig’s cup and not Rat’s is still in view in panel 3. And sweet, gullible Pig endorses his housemate’s boastful claim once again! Will Piggy ever wise up?

The magic eight ball is laughing too hard to answer that question.

Well, considering that a few years ago, there was a Pearls arc with crockydile superheroes who cleared printer jams or stapled papers together…
I think “Clear-The-Room Boy” has a shot.
Or maybe he could call himself “Space Rat” cos he clears a space.

BMonk … from yesterday…
YES!
Good thinking….
and good timing.
I’d been regretting not posting that LGD couldn’t yell “Fore”….
because with Dinky in that position he’d have to yell “Aft!”
But you’re right … if he had another three ducklings, he could still yell “Fore!”
