The first Pearls Before Swine collection, and its filled with the great humor of the strip. Far more bleak and nihilistic than the later editions this has a lot more dark humor which I enjoy. This is one of my favorite comic strips of the more recent years. ( ) This is truly one of the funniest cartoon books I have ever read! And since my LibraryThing files indicate that I've read over 150, that comes as high praise. I'd not heard of Stephan Pastis or his "Pearls Before Swine" series, and picked this one up for a dollar at a place that sells used books. It's the best dollar I've spent in a very long time. The cartoon series features slow-witted hapless Pig (who has a love of bacon :-) ), plus the arrogant know-it-all Rat, and their colleagues Zebra and Goat. The dialogue drives the stories; and Pastis' sense of humor is witty, smart, with frequent elements of dark humor. The cartoon stories are presented in 3-box sequences (as in daily newspapers) with periodic 6-box features (Sunday papers). From this pleasurable experience, I plan to get more of the Pearls Before Swine series. I highly recommend the comics for their offbeat humor and the bizarre genius of their creator. Pastis' Wikipedia page reveals that he began his career as an attorney, hated it, and quit, to become a full-time cartoonist (with the help of tips picked up by Scott Adams, the inventor of "Dilbert" cartoons). aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Pearls Before Swine is my favorite comic strip."Pearls Before Swine is the hilarious new comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant, egotistical Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together with Zebra, the activist, and Goat, the reluctant brain, Pearls Before Swine offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. Smart, witty, and sometimes painfully honest, Pearls Before Swine mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature with cynical humor. Pearls Before Swine has been syndicated by United Feature Syndicate since January 2002 and now appears in more than 100 newspapers worldwide. In panel after panel, Pearls Before Swine causes readers to lose themselves in laughter. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
