Pearls Blow Up

Just when you thought it was safe to read comic strips along comes Stephan Pastis' Pearls Blows Up, Pearls Before Swine Treasury published by Andrews McMeel Publishing.

Pig, Rat, Zebra, Lion and those pesky Crocs are all back in the wackiest and zaniest collection of comic strips ever to see print.

Rats' as obnoxious as even, Pig is overly naive, Zebra is totally flabbergasted and disgusted, Lion is full of 'Pride' and the Crocs-well, they're ...Crocs.

Between Zebra avoiding being eaten by the Crocs, the Lions constant search for food and mates, Pig's insatiable need to be needed and Rat's egotistical and cynical outlook on life it's a small wonder that Stephan Pastis has any sanity left.  Although, judging by his photo spread, distain for comic book conventions and family album that might be up for debate.

Get ready for some black and white and full-color fun as only Pearls Before Swine can deliver it.
