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.

There should be a pun hiding in here somewhere, but I’m too tired to go find it right now. Have at it, people! :)

He was hoping to get lucky tonight, but they had a pressing engagement.

One minute, Armando’s a husband. One minute later, he’s a widower.

I guess not.

I find it sad that we’re supposed to be laughing at the deaths of poor animals whose only desire was to cross a road for food.
Would I go into a ditch to avoid one? No. But I wouldn’t sit there behind the wheel laughing at the “stupidity” of that “stupid” animal either. I’d feel sad and say a little prayer for its soul. (Before we get into that debate, that’s my belief and I’m sticking to it.)

Apparently, even mini-vans aren’t light enough.

(Surely some armadillos must make it to grandparenthood, no?)

I like the Hemingway version of the old chicken joke:
Q: Why did the armadillo cross the road?
A: To die. Alone. In the rain.

I can’t help but feel pity for the animal regardless of what species it was, even a skunk.

I don’t get today’s strip. No pun that I can find.
Lupe is magnifying glass in German. (We call them a loop).

Armando is terribly fatalistic. And fat. I foresee a squishy ending to his tale….
