The National Cartoonists Society nominated Pearls Before Swine as one of the best comic strips of 2002. Pearls Before Swine is an impressive comic strip success story. After only a few years of syndication, it appears in more than 150 newspapers worldwide, was nominated as Best Newspaper Comic Strip by the National Cartoonists Society in its debut year-an unprecedented achievement-and its first book collection, Pearls Before Swine, has sold through four printings. 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. By turns thoughtful and subversive, silly and sophisticated, This Little Piggy Stayed Home is one of the funniest comic collections out there.… (meer)

Another wonderful collection of comic strips from Pearls Before Swine. One of my favorite newer (newish?) comic strips. It ranks up there with Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Peanuts, B.C., Wizard of Id, and Foxtrot for me.

I love how Pastis seems to get away with a lot more in his strips than do many others, and is willing to push the envelope as well to see how far they'll let him go. (

I didn't find this volume to be as funny as other volumes I have read - usually I'm laughing out loud to any number of Pearls strips, but this, one only a few. I'm wondering if it because this volumes includes earlier strips, from when Steven Pastis was still finding the voices of the different characters. Either way, this is the best comic strip out there, and a bad Pearls strips still is by far much better than any other comic strip, with the exception of Brewster Rocket, Space Guy. (

This was my first time reading a book of comic strips. It was shockingly similar to just reading the Sunday funnies. :P I am enjoying Pearls Before Swine on the recommendation of a friend. It's strange how Pastis is so hit or miss for me. Either I love his strip or it does nothing for me. There were some funny ones in this volume, though there were also some dreadful ones. *crickets* I am looking forward more to the Ratvolution. At least there weren't any alligators in the book. (

Hilarious, as are all Pastis' books. (
