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.

People who read the New York Times are on the political left, so Rat is on the right track.

Sounds like a good plan actually.

Goat and Rat switched stools.
.
Panels 1, 2, & 3.
.
Rat———Goat
.
Now on the other side of the bar it would be Goat——-Rat, unless they switched stools in panel 4.

Rat sucks!

@Alexikakos. No, they didn’t switch stools – they are just drawn on the other side of the counter.

@Arye Uygur
Yes, they did. In panels 1, 2, & 3, Goat is on Rat’s left. In panel 4, Goat is on Rat’s right.

We could also give Nascar lovers a New York Times and see if they can read it…hope they have quick reactions!

@Alexikakos
They also turned around. In the first three panels they are facing the counter, in the last it is behind them.

Interesting plan, Rat! I wonder if it would have the expected results (whatever those are)?
