Pearls Before Swine was voted the Best Comic Strip of 2003 by the National Cartoonists Society, and in Nighthogs, the strip's third collection, Stephan Pastis proves that his strip is one of the sharpest, funniest comics in newspapers.You never know who you'll bump into at a diner at night. It could be a rat with an anger-management problem. Or an overly sentimental pig. Or a zebra with a story or two to tell about a crocodile. Or even a goat who just wants to be left alone. Welcome to Nighthogs, where the door is always open, the light is always on, and the coffee is as scorching as the humor. In this third collection of the immensely popular Pearls Before Swine, Stephan Pastis again takes us into the world of Rat, Pig, Zebra, and Goat, and he shows once more just how outrageous-and how hilarious-the unpredictable can be. Always surprising (and only occasionally depraved), Pearls Before Swine is one of the sharpest comic strips in newspapers today. So pull up a stool, have a cup of joe, and enjoy.… (más)

I love Pearls Before Swine. Its one of the better (still currently produced) comics in the funny pages. One of the few that actually push the boundaries and not just in word usage, but actual context, style, and subjects and situations. I appreciate the very dark, bleak, gallows humor that goes unused by 99.9% of the other strips. (

Stephan Pastis broke into cartooning with some of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen. I gave his first book, "Pearls Before Swine : BLTs Taste So Darn Good," a rare five stars -- a very high ranking by my standards. As number 3 in the cartoon series, Nighthogs did not match the first volume in cleverness and wit. Quite a number of the cartoons ended in punchlines that were pun-ish reworkings of common phrases; these tended to be both far fetched and predictable. Another sequence involved Pig visiting a pork slaughterhouse, and my personal reaction was that it was too close to reality to be very funny.

No doubt it would be hard for any cartoonist to sustain the level of hilarity of the first volume in the series, so it's understandable that this one didn't attain the height of five stars. However, this one has many amusing moments and flashes of the irreverent wit that has brought Pastis such wide recognition. (

Another fun addition on the Pearls Before Swine Volumes :) And, I think somebody in my library loves this comic since they seem to have a lot of the volumes on the shelf. (

This book is good for your health, it makes you laugh in a giggly, groaning sort of way. The puns are completely groan-worthy, just the way I like them. The humor, dark and twisted and very satisfying. (
