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.

He likes Jeopardy, doesn’t want to talk about feelings, and thinks the world is nuts. A kindred spirit.

In Feb of ‘10 I Googled my grandfather’s name, to see how he spelled his first name, only to have my mother’s obit come up as the first response. She had passed two days after the previous Christmas. My sister, who lives about 5 miles from me, had neglected to inform me.

Andy, hospital visits are overrated, as far as the visitor is concerned. Let Dad watch Jeopardy and you go eat some of that fine hospital cafeteria food….

This is almost exactly like the relationship between my dad and his father… Sadly, Grandad died back in ’09.

At my local hospital, the cafeteria food is MUCH better than what they serve to the patients. Been there, done that.

Andy’s dad is right, the whole world is nuts

He’s right about the remote. Some have buttons whose function is a total mystery.

This isn’t funny, just sad. We’ve got enough sadness.

So dad is sick, and it’s all about Andy’s needs? Bah, selfish kids. I’d ignore him too.

Andy, sit back and watch Jeopardy with the old fellow. You can guess the answers out loud together and you’ll at least be doing something with him while you can.
