Pastis's commentary is funny and it's great to see some insight into the making of the comics. If you're new to Pearls this is as good a place to start as any. There's a lot of great comics (quite a few are his earlier ones) and there's no deep story line that you'll feel lost in if you haven't read every Pearls comic ever. ( ) I needed a light read after reading several serious books, and this fit my needs nicely. This is a new treasury of Pearls Before Swine, an irreverent daily comic I began following a few years back. It is known for idiotic crocodiles who want to eat their zebra neighbor (Helllooooo Zeeba!), egotistical Rat, pitiful yet endearing Pig, and a host of other amusing animal characters. Puns abound, and many are so awful that the character comment on the poor writing quality of their own strip. The element that sets this apart from most other comic treasuries is that Stephan Pastis has commentary on many of the strips. I loved finding out what inspired a panel, which ones drew the most complaints (or caused a newspaper to cancel his strip), and how he spent an hour drawing some minute detail. In the back of the book, there are strips that were never published in newspapers due to potential backlash or the artist's own second thoughts. I also want to add that the front and back cover of this is hilarious and I spent far too much time studying the details. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Pearls is the hottest comic in the newspaper business these days." -Raleigh News and Observer Named Best Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 2004 and 2007, Pearls Before Swine is regarded by fans and critics alike as a thoughtful commentary on humanity's pitiable plight. More About The Crass Menagerie Stephan Pastis sketches this nuanced comic strip tale, which features the arrogant, self-centered, and totally hilarious Rat, who leads his four-legged friends through misadventure after misadventure. Joining him for the journey are Pig, the slow but good-hearted conscience of the strip; Goat, the voice of reason that often goes unheard; and Zebra and the eternally inept Crocodiles who pursue him. Together this mindful menagerie mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature through Pastis's cynically biting wit. * The third Pearls Before Swine treasury, this book combines all the cartoons from Da Brudderhood of Zeeba Zeeba Eata and The Sopratos, along with annotations by Pastis. * From courtroom antics to references of other cartoon strips, Pastis's strip is a fresh presence on the comic pages.
