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.

I go in for an ulcer, and they hook me up to the EKG. Every time. Any pain that’s anywhere near the chest……

He may not need to wait, but he’ll have a heck of a doctor’s bill.
He should ask Cliff Clewless to help with that.

But what does Rat do when he really has a heart attack? You can’t have two heart attacks at once.

Rat has no heart, let alone two of them!

He’s having a heart attack? Get started with CPR and get the defibrillator going! I think I’d rather wait.
P.S. A hangnail isn’t worth an ER bill.

After the first couple of heart attacks … they might decide to cut you open and put in a pacemaker!

Two heart attacks at once?
Maybe if you’re from Gallifrey (Doctor Who) or Centauri (Babylon 5) you could.

Sounds like mandatory anal probes would shorten the lines at emergency rooms.

Nah, you’d just get a lot of really kinky people hanging out in the waiting room for their turn.
