Pearls Get Plastered

If I had to cope with the characters of Pearls Before Swine like writer/artist Stephen Pastis does I’d get wasted too.

Pearls Get Plastered is ‘bar’ none the weirdness collection of Pearls Before Swine strips in the latest Treasury Collection released by Andrews McMeel Publishing.

What can you expect from a crazy cast of animals as they mirror the absurdity of humanity?

Join a mouse, pig, duck, alligators, a goat and other critters along with their clueless human friend as they set about tackling norms, perverting traditions, questioning authority and generally causing a mess.

Stephen Pastic offers a unique look at his creative process by commenting on many of his strips, adding some art and photos and providing an ‘interesting’ Bonus Section.

By the look of some of the photos it’s easy to see why his humor is off-beat, cutting-edge and a little weird.

Get ready for jabs at social media, the purpose of life, superheroes, democracy and other subjects that a crazy bunch of critters manage to obliterate.

I need a drink.

John 13:34-35 - A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
