I particularly enjoy the treasuries, including Lions and Tigers and Crocs, Oh My! because of Pastis' commentary that accompanies some of the strips; it's fascinating to learn the motivations and inspirations behind some of the cartoons, and some of the strips that garnered letters of complaint. My favorite characters continue to be those demented crocs; they bust me up. ( ) I love Pearls Before Swine. I almost always find something that makes me laugh out loud. This treasury contains the first few years of publishing. As a result, I found that it to be a bit weaker than the Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic that is the second treasury published. The characters aren't quite as established and the plot lines are not as tight as the later strips. This is still a great anthology, and I enjoyed reading Stephan Pastis's commentary, especially his thoughts on the early Pearls Before Swine. These comic strips are genius. Sweet characters, like Pig, balance out the more cynical, like Rat, and the results are fantastic. Also, the author includes additional information about many of the strips that describes reader opinions, editorial decisions, the author's creative process, and occasionally clarifies things. Brilliant! Stephan Pastis does these treasuries better than any comic strip artist out there. No one else adds commentary to their strips. It's just going that extra distance that makes this book worthwhile. It should be a requirement for comic book treasuries that are otherwise reprinting strips from previous books. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sériePearls Before Swine (3-4)
In this, Pearls Before Swine treasury, you'll know you're not in Kansas anymore. The Pearls Before Swine crew are at it again in their new book, Lions and Tigers and Crocs, Oh My! But even the wonderful Wizard of Oz couldn't help this bunch of merry misfits. Collecting strips from his last two books, Nighthogs and The Ratvolution Will Not Be Televised, cartoonist Stephan Pastis takes you on a magically malicious journey over the rainbow and into the rat trap of Lions and Tigers and Crocs, Oh My! As in the previous Pearls treasury collection, Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic, the comic strips are annotated, as only the smart-alecky, misanthropic-but-lovable Pastis can do. Following his yellow brick road of notes, readers gain great insights into the making of such classic Pearls bits as Rat's stint as a New York Times reporter, Angry Bob, Pig's plastic surgery, the Mallet o' Understanding, Mrs. Bootyworth, and the fraternal order of the Zeeba Zeeba Eetas. A special bonus feature included in Lions and Tigers and Crocs is "The Good, the Banned, and the Ugly," a section of never-before-published and unedited Pearls strips. So go, as fast as lightning, to the Emerald City-or the cash register-and buy this book, before a twister drops a Box o' Stupid People on you! Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
