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.

If Rat hasn’t patented that Stupidity Harness idea yet, some bold and enterprising reader of this strip will steal it for sure, ‘cuz, we’re, uhh, smart! And full of energy!

@Paul Smith
I think you’ve just solved the world energy crisis. An inexhaustible source of aeolian energy!!

Wanna harness stupid? Properly harnessed Rat alone could power the entire world for a couple decades whereas Pig could barely power their house for a couple days using that idiotic harness. Harness Pig properly and he could power their hom for a week. Now if we harness Rat’s ego we could power the world for the next hundred years.

In a world where 50% of the people fall below median intelligence, half of us are going to get free power.
