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.

This is the 1st Pearls I’ve laughed at since the Spring.

I believe that’s called a dance marathon.

@Hillbillyman
What’s worse is coming down a poorly lit corridor in a building you don’t know well, seeing someone coming the other way, and standing aside for them…only to realise it’s your reflection in a mirror at the end of the corridor.

What I like is when you’re 20’ from some one and walking at an angle to avoid them and they can’t figure out that you’ll miss them by 5’. People might just be generally stunned.

The dance is named for that famous singer Englebert Schlumperdink.

Pig is admitting to hereditary stupidness in his family?! Now what excuse will the Pig-lovers have when it comes time to defend his incomprehension?

It’s not good to pull a schlumperdink crossing an intersection against the traffic light.

Oh my god! There’s a name for it?! Finally!
Btw What’s the name for when you’re walking faster than the person in front of you and just as you’re trying to go past them they drift to the side, right into your path, without even knowing it? That always happens to me.
