The Saturday Evening Pearls: A Pearls Before Swine Collection, Paperback/Stephan Pastis

Descriere

"There's an artful, edgy rebellion being waged in the funny pages, and one of its brightest revolutionaries is Stephan Pastis." --Fort Worth Star-Telegram "The cartoon Pearls Before Swine is written by a psychopath." --reader complaint, Wichita Eagle This collection of Pearls Before Swine makes a happy return to home and hearth as only these scamps can. An iconic portrait that captures the essence of modern life, Pearls Before Swine is a heartwarming American original. A gifted storyteller with a sick sense of humor, Stephan Pastis is rapidly becoming a master of the cartoon art form. His pearls of wisdom are sly and subversive, smart and shocking. And incredibly funny. It's a jungle out there. The only way to survive is with friends, a thick skin, and, a good dose of cynicism. A sense of humor, along with a little animal instinct, is just what The Saturday Evening Pearls offers. Pearls Before Swine was named Best Comic Strip in 2004, and again in 2007 by the National Cartoonists Society. About the Author: Stephan Pastis is an attorney turned cartoonist. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and the UCLA School of Law, he worked as a lawyer before trying his hand at cartooning. Pastis lives in the Bay Area, with his wife and two children.
