Product Description
"Pearls is the hottest comic in the newspaper business these days." --Raleigh News amd 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. 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.

Another outrageously entertaining offering from Stephan Pastis. Where he gets this stuff, we'll never know.
Very highly recommended for any library strong in comic strip representations October 9, 2008

Stephan Pastis' THE CRASS MENAGERIE is a 'Pearls Before Swine' collection including all cartoons from Da Brudderhood of Zeeba Zeeba Eata and The Sopratos. It liberally peppers color full-page strips with black and white features and it requires absolutely NO prior familiarity with the 'Pearls Before Swine' strip to prove appealing and fun. Very highly recommended for any library strong in comic strip representations.

Another great compilation of Pearls humor. I especially enjoyed Stephan Pastis' comments that are included with many of the strips. It is very interesting to read what prompted a particular strip or the types of responses he has received. This book includes my favorite strips, featuring Pig's enemy, Annie Mae, the sea anemone, and Rat's attempt at being a counselor.
