Pearls Before Swine : Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic

By Stephan Pastis

Daily and Sunday comic strips which appeared in newspapers from December 2001 to July 2003.
For readers of the strip, the main thing you will notice is the lack of crocodiles. They only make a few appearances in this collection. In the early years, the lions were the main antagonists of the zebras.
But reading these beginning efforts, it is easy to see why this comic strip took off like it did. It's funny. Just plain funny. It can proudly take its place among the great strips like The Far Side, Dilbert and Calvin & Hobbes.

Pearls Blows Up

By Stephan Pastis

A Pearls Before Swine Treasury, copyright 2011. Pearls Before Swine is a very successful newspaper comic strip. Probably the last one, as people switch from reading newspapers to reading news on the internet.
I have enjoyed reading these comic strips. Pastis' Pearls Before Swine is right up there with the greats of daily strips: Charles Schulz's Peanuts, Gary Larson's Far Side, Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes, Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County, Cathy Guisewite's Cathy and Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury.

Pearls Before Swine : The Ratvolution Will Not Be Televised


By Stephan Pastis

A collection of daily and Sunday comic strips dating from April 2004 to January 2005. It includes the first mention of the crocodile fraternity ZZE, the infamous Zeba Zeba Eata, whose single goal in life is tricking Zebra, their next door neighbor, into becoming dinner.

Here is a typical Sunday strip from the collection.

Pearls Before Swine : Nighthogs



By Stephen Pastis

Another great cartoonist to add to the pantheon of great American cartoonists. Always funny, even though at times he relies too much on puns. Pastis really loves his puns:





Pastis never passes up an opportunity to make a pun. Who else could make a pun out of the lost body of a dictator?
