Although he had always wanted to be a syndicated cartoonist, Pastis realized that the odds of syndication were slim, so he entered UCLA Law School in 1990 and became an attorney instead. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989 with a degree in political science. Stephan Pastis was born in 1968 and raised in San Marino, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. * From courtroom antics to references of other cartoon strips, Pastis's strip is a fresh presence on the comic pages. * The third Pearls Before Swine treasury, this book combines all the cartoons from and, along with annotations by Pastis.
Together this mindful menagerie mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature through Pastis's cynically biting wit. 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. 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. Named Best Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 20, Pearls Before Swine is regarded by fans and critics alike as a thoughtful commentary on humanity's pitiable plight. Pearls is the hottest comic in the newspaper business these days." - Raleigh News and Observer
