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 think he either had an invisible girlfriend, or it was a bug

Rat was describing his imaginary girlfriend (as though he would really have any other kind!).

Didn’t he have a girlfriend for like, 8 comics?

So, I’m thinking Rat (Californian, be it noted, as he is Cartoon-Boy’s brainchild) is not a Notre Dame fan?
(But, then, despite Chicagolander stereotypes, neither am I.)
