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.

As a little kid, that’s what I thought a baby shower was.

Actually, Justin Thompson kicked Pun Boy’s arse over in Mythtickle today with a REAL pun. Stephan needs to up his game!

Should the baby NOT have a diaper while in the shower?

My mom once made a joke when she was changing my little brother’s diaper and he peed straight up in the air, “Oh look, a baby shower” and to this day I still laugh whenever someone mentions baby shower. R.I.P. Mom

Pastis is good, but Jim Scancarelli is king.

I was an adult when I found out what baby and bridal showers really were. I must have been mixing with the wrong company.
Also, I think it is more a modern USA custom.

At least Rat didn’t feel the need to kill him this time. That always results in a weird discussion.

I actually laughed out loud when I first read this! What’s wrong with me?
