Superficial Intelligence

Today's featured comic strip comes from artist Stephan Pastis. Pearls Before Swine is witty, strange, and of course funny. The title comes from the New Testament, from the phrase, "Don't cast your pearls before swine." Thus, one of the main characters of the strip is called Pig. The other main character is a selfish, egotistic rat called, well, Rat. The site where this comic strip can be found says, regarding the title of the strip, "In this case, Rat believes that he is an endless source of wisdom, and that it is wasted upon Pig, who is rather slow." Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, manages to describe what Pearls Before Swine is about in just one word: stupidity. This comic strip is about the stupid things people do and the stupid situations we find ourselves in. You are definitely in for a laugh with this comic strip.
