Elk feitje klopt (grondig gecontroleerd) en de meesterlijke tekeningen zijn van mijzelf. Ooit tekende mijn zakenpartner Fiks – ijsbeer – ze, maar dat leek nergens naar. Stephan Pastis tekende Pearls Before Swine, een grappige strip die in meer dan 650 kranten verscheen en later ook in boeken. Flip Fiasco – Oeps... is zijn eerste kinderboek. Stephan woont in Amerika.
