"Pearls Before Swine" is the comic strip for our time. In yesterday's strip, Andy—the watchdog chained to a stake in a neighboring yard—missed his cruise to Trinidad despite walking all day and all night. Andy's response to Pig's compassion demonstrates that Rat gave more to Andy than a new hat for the trip; Andy has a 'tude. Then, today's strip has Pig and Rat in a tree lot shopping for an Xmas tree. Pig rises to the occasion as Rat's "wingman." If this is (fair & balanced) fatuity, so be it.
