ISBN: 9780740771002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePearls is the hottest comic in the newspaper business these days.\" -Raleigh News and Observer\n\nNamed Best Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 2004 and 2007, Pearls Before Swine is regarded by fans and critics alike as a thoughtful commentary on humanitys pitiable plight.\n\nMore About The Crass Menagerie\n\nStephan Pastis sketches this nuanced comic strip tale, which features the arrogant, self-centered, and totally hilarious Rat, who leads his four-legged friends through misadventure after misadventure. Joining him for the journey are Pig, the slow but good-hearted conscience of the strip; Goat, the voice of reason that often goes unheard; and Zebra and the eternally inept Crocodiles who pursue him. Together this mindful menagerie mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature through Pastiss cynically biting wit.\n\n* The third Pearls Before Swine treasury, this book combines all the cartoons from Da Brudderhood of Zeeba Zeeba Eata and The Sopratos, along with annotations by Pastis.\n\n* From courtroom antics to references of other cartoon strips, Pastiss strip is a fresh presence on the comic pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andrews McMeel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953178406965,"sku":"ByrdShop_0740771000","price":27.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780740771002_cb4a4e02-2ec4-4907-a4e3-d8d186372b00.jpg?v=1792215494","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-crass-menagerie-a-pearls-before-swine-treasury-volume-9-9780740771002","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
