Rat's Wars

release date: Oct 01, 2013
Rat's Wars
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."

Skeletor Ate My Homework (The Adventures of He-Man and Porter #1)
The debut of a laugh-out-loud illustrated middle-grade adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephan Pastis (Timmy Failure — over 2 million copies sold) and award-winning cartoonist Will Henry (Wallace the Brave), launching a new Masters of the Universe era timed to the 2026 movie event. Porter Avery is just your average boy from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with your average boy problems: he’s got a math test he definitely should be studying for (he isn’t), and a dad who’s making him go to bed (he doesn’t want to). But when a magical malfunction takes Porter from his very everyday attic into the very not-everyday realm of Eternia, he’ll find that problems with homework and helicopter parents pale in comparison to, say, an epic battle between He-Man and Skeletor that may or may not determine the future of the entire planet??! Will the heroes of Eternia rally around their earthside visitor, or will Porter get turned into mincemeat for Skeletor’s pet Panthor sooner than he can say "By the Power of Grayskull?" Find out what happens when boy meets fantastical world in this first installment of the new series: The Adventures of He-Man and Porter.
