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.

I’ve not laughed so hard at a cartoon since I don’t know when.

I thought that Rat would go with something more…. violent. Still, I see a (happy?) future for Depresso. At least Rat is honest about how he feels about the job. I always feel a little bad for the people who have to walk around the park in their outfits.

but i’d bet depresso won’t end up in the car park parking cars…

Depresso is just right for Rat to portray. I predict a long and successful future of depressing people for this mascot!

My immediate thoughts were of Droopy, but Marvin works too.

His personality may be like Marvin or Droopy…. I loved Droopy….
But he looks like he’s from Cul de Sac.

MPeters… and I thanked you for the links you left for Gokie…..
haha…. I used them too.
So sue me… :)
And Havelock I don’t feel sorry for them… I want to BE them.
Except for the ones in big heavy suits…
a friend was Chucky Cheese one summer,
and that thick, furry suit and huge head in a hot, noisy pizza place almost made her faint….
But I always wanted to be, like… maybe Snow White at Disneyland.

Darn, when I first read the sign I read Desperado. Had the Eagles runningthrough my mind until I read it again. Was so much better as Deperasdo.

Why do I remember that, but not my Apple ID?
