For anyone unfamiliar with Pears Before Swine, Michael has done a nice job of summarizing the strip to help clarify the content:
Today we get a reference in today's Pearls Before Swine comic strip...having done his "Occupy Sesame Street" protest for the last three days, the selfish, egotistical Rat disrupted various activity throughout, much to the chagrin of the intellectual and well-rounded Goat. Today, dim-witted yet sweet-hearted Pig brings Goat the news that Rat has finally given up his protest after PBS agreed to let him "revive one of their own children's shows". In the next panel, we find Rat wearing an orange sweater, blue tie, and white hair in Mister Rogers' house, surrounded by the fish tank, King Friday in his castle, the Traffic Light, and the Trolley below him. However, while singing the classic theme song we all know and love, the misanthropic Rat changes one word which changes the song entirely: "Please don't you be my neighbor."

This is really great! Very clever, indeed. And I love the artwork on the last frame. Thank you for sharing this!
Agreed, Vickie. This is one of the few comics that I still read on a regular basis and I was thrilled when Michael let me know about this comic.
