one of my favourite cartoonists of all time is a guy called Stephan Pastis who is the creator of the hit comic strip Pearls Before Swine largely featuring the friendship between a cynical mean sarcastic rat called Rat and an innocent naive and mostly stupid pig called PIG – you should go and read the strip every day as well as buying all the compilations you have missed so you can catch up, and all the future ones as well.
