A co-worker recommended this book to me, and I'm glad. This is very funny and the relationship between rat and pig reminds me very much of one of my long time friendships.
This is the one that made me laugh the most:
Rat: "What do you think heaven is?"
Pig: "Waking up and finding a basket of cheese on your doorstep."
Rat: "What do you think hell is?"
Pig: "Realizing you're in the wrong house."
brilliant. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0740734377, Paperback)

Pearls Before Swine is the hilarious new comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant, egotistical Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together with Zebra, the activist, and Goat, the reluctant brain, Pearls Before Swine offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. Smart, witty, and sometimes painfully honest, Pearls Before Swine mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature with cynical humor.Pearls Before Swine has been syndicated by United Feature Syndicate since January 2002 and now appears in more than 100 newspapers worldwide. In panel after panel, Pearls Before Swine causes readers to lose themselves in laughter.
