Best Selling Books by Stephan Pastis

Prepare to get swept up in a tidal wave of hilarity, sarcasm, and atrocious puns courtesy of award-winning Pearls Before Swine cartoonist Stephan Pastis. For the past 20 years, Pearls Before Swine has been one of the most popular and consistently hilarious comic strip in newspapers. This treasury packs in 18 months'' worth of daily comic strips from 2018-2019, including an introduction, essay, and special commentary by the author.

The Pearls gang returns with characteristically misanthropic humor (but with more leather): no self-aggrandizing is too flagrant for Rat, no subject is too erudite for Goat, and no sensory input is too basic for Pig. All topics are fair game for Stephan Pastis and his brass-knuckle punch lines. Comic strip censors, apathetic baristas, and IRS employees are all strongly advised to laugh or get out of the way. Pearls Hogs the Road also features three comic strips illustrated by the legendary Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes, who ended a 19-year hiatus from the comics page to collaborate with Pastis.

Follows the escapades of self-centered Rat and kindly (but dumb) Pig and their pals, with commentary from the author.

A collection of "Pearls Before Swine" daily and Sunday strips follows the Rat, Zebra, Pig, and the rest of the gang as they offer their opinions on topics ranging from modern technology to the nature of humans and crocodiles.

True to Pearls Before Swine tradition, the latest cartoon collection brims with Stephan Pastis’s cynical humor, sharp wit, and clever commentary.

Acerbic, biting, and hilarious, Pearls Before Swine entertains with its mocking of human nature depicted by a Rat, a Pig, and a cast of predators and prey. "Pearls Before Swine, the oft-snarky comic that features a kind-hearted pig, a rat with the mind of Mencken, and suburban lions and crocs forever trying to ensnare their zebra (or "zeeba!") neighbors. The strip''s sharp, attitudinal zing distinguishes it from some of its less daring neighbors on the funny pages; its panels crackle with pitch-perfect timing." —Michael Cavna, Washington Post At its heart, Pearls Before Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn''t know any better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity''s quest for the unattainable. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says that Pearls is "one of the few comics that makes me laugh out loud."

From the creator of the New York Times best-selling Timmy Failure series comes a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming, full-color graphic novel series about a quirky town and its even quirkier residents -- just right for young readers looking for longer books. Wendy the Wanderer has lived in Trubble Town her whole life but never had the chance to go exploring. For this reason, she thinks she was definitely misnamed. Her dad likes to know where she is to make sure she''s safe, so she''s never been anywhere on her own. Then, her dad leaves on a trip and the babysitter doesn''t reinforce all the usual rules. Or any of the usual rules! Suddenly, Wendy is free to do what she wants, and what she wants is to live up to her name ... and find Trubble. Turns out, there''s lots going on in Trubble Town. As she encounters endearingly goofy animals and hilariously hapless townsfolk, Wendy''s very first adventure takes more twists and turns than she could have ever expected. She learns some really valuable life lessons and even teaches a few of her own.

[No. 4] Timmy Failure--founder of the greatest detective agency in the town, is hittin'' the road in a cross-country trip that includes Timmy''s mom, Total the polar bear, Doorman Dave, and smells-like-tangerine criminal mastermind Molly Moskins.
