Publisher's Note
"Pearls is the hottest comic in the newspaper business these days." --Raleigh News amd Observer

Named Best Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 2004 and 2007, Pearls Before Swine is regarded by fans and critics alike as a thoughtful commentary on humanity's pitiable plight.

Stephan Pastis sketches this nuanced comic strip tale, which features the arrogant, self-centered, and totally hilarious Rat, who leads his four-legged friends through misadventure after misadventure. Joining him for the journey are Pig, the slow but good-hearted conscience of the strip; Goat, the voice of reason that often goes unheard; and Zebra and the eternally inept Crocodiles who pursue him. Together this mindful menagerie mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature through Pastis's cynically biting wit.

  • The third Pearls Before Swine treasury, this book combines all the cartoons from Da Brudderhood of Zeeba Zeeba Eata and The Sopratos, along with annotations by Pastis.
  • From courtroom antics to references of other cartoon strips, Pastis's strip is a fresh presence on the comic pages.

A step into the mind of a funny creator

Created: 31/03/11
Treasuries have a very special place in my heart, and this book is no exception.

The part I love most about this book is the blurbs underneath 2/3 of the comics that describe the authors feelings/thoughts/mood/history​/etc when he was writing the particular comic. The insight is really interesting and shows how human the author is.

If you like Pearls, you will obviously like this and the added "commentary" is icing on the cake.
