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.

That escalated quickly.

In the old days, we pinged each other. It was much more polite.

Rat caught Goat in a poke. Maybe it should have been Pig in a poke.

Especially that trend.

Rat’s action reminds me a little of today’s “Cul de Sac.” (Not to mention Ray to needs to “poke” Mark in order to file the complaint.)

I’m with you and Rat on this one. Facebook is annoying enough as it is, but “poking” in particular gets on my last nerve faster than anything else.

Isn’t poking the moral equivalent of Italians pinching girls on their cute little butts? Guys don’t poke other guys on face book do they? I don’t poke, haven’t figured out how to do it yet….

@Varnes
Yes, they do — and as I said, it’s annoying as hell, because once you poke back, they never STOP poking you!

Marriage stops the poking pretty quick don’t it?

A ‘trunk’ call?

I am thankful daily that I know nothing about Facebook.

“Run run run run” — cartoon strip sound effects! Love it!

I don’t poke around on that social networking site, but I do sympathize with Rat’s admittedly somewhat overdone reaction. That site itself needs a good, stern poke….
