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.

Wow! That looks like fun, and it has even more stencils. :-D

I’ve seen this before. Guy are more confident in their drawings when they use stencils. It’s called male pattern boldness.

Yeah but the markers are wash-outable! The shirts only last till they go thru the laundry. Darn!

Pastis didn’t read the instructions.
Stephan! It says to keep it away from your eyes!
Now look what you’ve done.

That’s why they call ’em “French Curves”.
I had to buy some when I started my engineering degree and was trained to make engineering drawings.

I think Pastis is easily amused…

Back in drafting school we called it a hole-o-meter.

Being an architect of a certain age, I can relate to the excitement of acquiring a new template, although I do not recall allowing one to influence my design to quite that degree. Now that just about everything is done by computer, there is not much use for them in my job.
