Collection of previously published comic strips.

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

This Little Piggy Stayed Home continues the adventures of Rat and Pig, two characters who couldn''t be more different-or more surprising. Rat is your typical Every Rodent: scheming, self-centered, and more than occasionally manipulative. By contrast, Pig is sensitive, kind, and-even on his best days-just plain stupid. Together with Zebra and Goat, they confront the strange and wonderful world around them, a place that looks suspiciously like our own.

"Pearls Before Swine" is the hilarious new comic strip tale of two friends--an arrogant Rat who knows it all, and a slow-witted Pig who doesn''t know any better. Together they offer caustic commentary on humanity''s quest for the unattainable. Illustrations.
