The question of the day revolves around Goat's blog in "Pearls Before Swine." Rat, cynical rodent that he is, has little respect for Goat's efforts. Such is the state of the world: the blogger slaves over a hot keyboard and, like the tree falling in the forest, is unheard (and unread). If this is (fair & balanced) self-pity, so be it.
[x Pearls Before Swine]
By Stephan Pastis
Goat is an intellectual who interacts sparingly with the other characters. Goat usually appears whenever there is a small issue dealing with a character or a conflict to be mediated. Goat has an equally hard time dealing with Pig's incompetence and Rat's cruelty and occasional ignorance. Goat maintains a blog that, as Rat likes to point out, receives no hits. Goat in turn tends to criticize Rat's forays into writing, often telling him not to write them at all. In early strips, Goat had a beard; he first appeared without it in the March 31, 2004 strip. He is smart and knows how to solve problems.
