The<i> Pearls Before Swine</i> gang is back in this treasury-sized edition, complete with Stephan Pastis's insightful and entertaining annotations.<br><br>True to<i> Pearls Before Swine</i> tradition, the latest cartoon collection brims with Stephan Pastis’s cynical humor, sharp wit, and clever commentary. Always together—and sometimes with their fellow funny-page characters—the regular<i>Pearls </i>clan weighs in on everything from modern technology to current events to human nature. All the members of the skewed gang are here as Zebra engages in a never-ending war of neighborly hate with the Crocs. As always, Goat offers a voice of reason amid the ongoing chaos that Pastis creates, either from behind the pen or as a character within the strip itself. Pastis’s latest collection is sure to add to the funny-page phenomenon, giving<i>Pearls</i> fans more of what they know and love: satirical logic and hilarious wit.
