Timmy Fiasco é o comicamente autoconfiante e sem noção diretor executivo de um império de investigação em expansão. Com seu preguiçoso sócio, um gordo urso-polar chamado Total, ele pode tornar qualquer mistério ainda mais misterioso. No entanto, seus planos não incluem uma pessoa do sexo feminino cujo nome não deve ser pronunciado. Assim como também não incluem Rollo Tookus, tão obcecado por entrar para a universidade "Stanfurd" que não consegue levar a cabo uma missão de espionagem. Nem Molly Moskins, a menina que cheira a tangerina e é louca por Timmy, o que faz dela sua óbvia (e única) suspeita. Com uma imaginação fértil e uma lógica peculiar, o pequeno Timmy vai conquistar os leitores com suas hilárias desventuras ao tentar resolver alguns casos de seus colegas de escola e seguir sua caminhada rumo ao sucesso.

A collection of comic strips mocks the foibles of human nature with the antics of egotistical Rat, clueless Pig, intellectual Goat, and letter-writing optimist Zebra.

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."
