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.

Football is a religion, and the living room/den is the church

some places in the bible belt, football is the state religion. but, doesn’t the bible state that thy would not have any other god/faith/religion? does that mean they are polytheists, instead of mono? look at texas. High schools have multi-million dollar football stadiums that rival some colleges, recruit talented kids, train year around. then, have the games on friday night. saturday is college(ut longhorns), and on sunday, nfl(cowboys and the texans).

If (as implied) Goat and Rat are watching football on television in all three panels, then in the last panel they’re watching the televison that’s kitty corner to the one in the first and second panels.

Goat? Drink your coffee.
Rat? Have another beer—which will be your ninth, it appears.
Churchgoers? Go to church Sunday morning.
Football fans? —Your sport is doomed! The controversy over health issues is killing your game. Enjoy it while you may….

Rat is the least perfect character in the strip but the one with the biggest ego. An ego too big to accept how utterly imperfect he is.

Here in Wisconsin, the Green Bay Packes are a religion and Lambeau Field is considered a holy site.

I must be a duonogstic.
I don’t follow Church OR Football!
Both are boring wastes of time.
I’d rather spend a couple of hours on Sunday morning in the gym, bench pressing…
