i never herd of that then again its modern times i havent read comic strips sense i was a kid whats this about?

It's the only comic strip I read at the moment. I love it. Especially the episodes with the crocs. Larry for president.

Drink, it's about a bunch of animals, really. Some of the characters are the stupid and naive Pig, and his "friend", the very rude and obnoxious Rat, and my favourites, the dumb crocodiles who are trying, and have been trying for years, to eat a zebra who lives in the neighbourhood.

You can find Pearls Before Swine strips here

Some of his strips have even been turned into short animations, which can be found here

Oh I sometimes come across that when looking at the newspaper.

It's very different than the other comic strips. Usually they're still above average, but every now and then, a great one will be cranked out.

You see the new one with the Monopoly guy? That one was great....

I love this strip. In my newspaper, it's the only one that isn't rubbish. I love Rat and the crocs. It is also, I think, the only strip that the characters are aware it is a comic strip, and the author, Stephan Pastis, includes himself. This allows for a whole other realm of jokes. My favorite strips usually include Larry, a crocodile, and his son.

I think this strip, along with Calvin and Hobbes, are some of the best comics out there.

Are you going to start a Pearls Before Swine club, Dudeguy?

Ya know, I was thinking about it. That's what led to this thread. If enoguh people like it I will.

Have you seen Guard Duck? There is a strip where pig captures him and puts him under a laundry basket. He says "Sir, this is a violation of the Geneva Convention." =P
