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.

Bring the crocs back for a story line.

Less expensive overall to smash a fly with a book than a Kindle, and just as satisfying.

Roy: Disagree. Rat and Pig are why I read this strip. I can count the number of croc strips that have ever made me laugh on one hand.

Pig could take up speed reading but he would probably move his lips.

Read them? Eat them.

Simple solution, Pig … look at the book title … and go rent a movie based on it!

I think anyone who’s hesitant about reading should start with Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.

@SherlockWatson
GOOD suggestion.

If you want a taste of what illiteracy is like, go to your local library or book store and open a kids’ book in a language you don’t know.
It’ll be an eye-opener.
Why is it only a taste? Remember, you’re reading this, there are those who cannot read in any language.

Fret not, sweet Pig, there’s a shortcut to get you back up on that pinnacle of power. That’s why they’re called Cliffs Notes.

Reading is fun! But it does require a brain, so I’m not sure Pig will ever conquer that mountain….
