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’s Rat, that freaked Pig out

Auto-correct must have changed Pigita to mom.

Looks like he shouldn’t have had “Sweet Mama” on his speed-dial.

And thus, Pig Rex a romantic interlude.

Looks like Pig is all thumbs when it comes to texting!
(Another good argument for not having a cell phone, IMO.)

Pig and I seem to have a thing for pork butt. (Yes, I know we are talking about different parts of the pig.)

A blonde texted me once.
.
She asked “What does IDK mean?”
.
I texted back. “I don’t know.”
.
Her follow up text… “Well, do you know anyone who might know?”

It’s a bit lame when you already know the punch line at the second panel

Marty McFly. Sort of. Close enough. Somebody’s got an Oedipal complex. Incidentally, I recall Pig claim that he had one of those earlier. But he was just getting ‘oedipal’ and ‘edible’ confused.

Poor Pig, mortified to the point of mortification at the nearest funeral home.

@Alexikakos
I had this same conversation verbally, except the follow up question was, “So why do you use it if you don’t know what it means?”

His rivals used to say quite a bit,
That as a monarch he was most unfit.
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother.

Yeah, that seems the right response for someone with a bit of maturity to them. Pig should be a lot more freaked out though since he doesn’t have enough maturity.
