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 never have seen a live armadillo! Just ones on the side of the road. Guess today’s strip won’t break my streak…

Most armadillos seem to have that problem…

Q: Why’d the chicken cross the road?
A: To prove to the armadillo (et al.) that it could be done!

I understand a lot of lonely women have electric armadillos to keep them company.

Hey, he is looking a little run down.

Hey, Zomney can run with his feet in his mouth, so I guess Arnie can still help out.

You’ll never win the election if you’re middle-of-the-road.

He was probably trying to cross the aisle. They just dumped him in the middle of the road.

I’ve seen plenty of squashed armadillos littering roads (mainly in Texas). They flatten real good! Can’t say as I’ve met such an educated one as Rat’s was….
