Product Description: The original bad boys of the comics page are back in this wildly entertaining seventh collection of Pearls Before Swine comic strips by Stephan Pastis.
You know the lineup: Mucho macho Rat, who's ready to get down with anyone he can; sensitive Pig, who can't give up his disco dreams; Zebra, who will survive; and Goat, the brains of the outfit. Violent, unstable Guard Duck and the Crocs next door round out this fabulous cast. The dark, twisted adventures continue as these characters dance the night away.
I LOVE Pearls! Once again a terrific collection from the incredible mind of Stephan Pastis. I own all his previous compilations and love every one. This strip is the best, the funniest, the cleverest available today. It is intelligent humour at it's best. Previously I have compared PBS to Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side but I now realise that it also bears a striking similarity to the best of the Simpsons. Some great social commentary cleverly hidden in a humourous disguise. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll think, and occasionally, you'll groan (the puns are pretty bad..... but funny!).
Cul De Sac, Lio and Pearls are the new axis of hilarity.
Pastis is a great source of creativity and consistency on the comics page. I think he's got the talent to go for many, many years without losing it like I did.
For me, I just got too involved in the celebrity aspect of it: the dinners, the clubs, the tapdancing, the orifice searches, the meaningless intimacy with hangers-on, the conversion to a cult and then my very public battle with IBS.
In the Pearls Navy Crocs and more crocs. This is a collection, which means it will eventually find its way into a treasury. Still, I cannot wait to buy the latest Pearls. The comics covered are from April 7, 2006 to May 13,2007. This included the touching Daddy Croc moments. The interactions between the Dad and Son croc are some of my favorite in the series, including when Son starts dating the zebra next door. For some reason, a croc also goes to college. For me, this was a must have, but I am a Pearls fan. If your favorite cartoon is the Family Circus, then you can marvel over the grown up versions.
Pastis Scores Again! This latest compilation of Pearls Before Swine strips by Stephan Pastis delivers great fun & humor straight from the pages of today's newspaper comics' pages and online comics sites. Pastis has created a world in which his outrageous characters approach life with laugh-out-loud results.
The rat, pig, goat, zebra, looney crocs, and guard duck continue their irreverent behavior in hilarious situations that makes Pearls Before Swine so unique and loved by so many comics' readers.
This collection has a number of strips focusing on the crocs and their ongoing attempts to make zebra their next meal. The comics highlighting the interaction among the croc characters and dealing with family issues are especially funny.
MACHO, MACHO ANIMALS is another winner by Stephan Pastis and his great cast of eccentric animal friends.
