New Releases by Stephan Pastis

Acerbic, biting, and hilarious, Pearls Before Swine entertains with its mocking of human nature depicted by a Rat, a Pig, and a cast of predators and prey. "Pearls Before Swine, the oft-snarky comic that features a kind-hearted pig, a rat with the mind of Mencken, and suburban lions and crocs forever trying to ensnare their zebra (or "zeeba!") neighbors. The strip''s sharp, attitudinal zing distinguishes it from some of its less daring neighbors on the funny pages; its panels crackle with pitch-perfect timing." —Michael Cavna, Washington Post At its heart, Pearls Before Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn''t know any better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity''s quest for the unattainable. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says that Pearls is "one of the few comics that makes me laugh out loud."

The dark, twisted adventures of this bunch of goodfellas have made "Pearls" the fastest-growing comic strip of the decade. Join the family and get in on the action.

This Little Piggy Stayed Home continues the adventures of Rat and Pig, two characters who couldn''t be more different-or more surprising. Rat is your typical Every Rodent: scheming, self-centered, and more than occasionally manipulative. By contrast, Pig is sensitive, kind, and-even on his best days-just plain stupid. Together with Zebra and Goat, they confront the strange and wonderful world around them, a place that looks suspiciously like our own.

"Pearls Before Swine" is the hilarious new comic strip tale of two friends--an arrogant Rat who knows it all, and a slow-witted Pig who doesn''t know any better. Together they offer caustic commentary on humanity''s quest for the unattainable. Illustrations.
