The Fab Four of the funny pages come together again-this time in their first book treasury.
Rat, Pig, Zebra, and Goat, the central characters of Pearls Before Swine, are back in Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic, the first Pearls Before Swine treasury-supersized for your enjoyment.
But this is no ordinary cartoon treasury. Like the influential Beatles album that inspired the book's title, Sgt. Piggy is full of surprises. In addition to collecting all of the Pearls cartoons that appeared in BLTs Taste So Darn Good and This Little Piggy Stayed Home, cartoonist Stephan Pastis takes readers on a VIP backstage tour of one of the most successful comic strips in newspapers today.
In Sgt. Piggy, Pastis explains the genesis of Pearls (hint: it didn't begin at an artist's easel), why he was initially reluctant to show it to newspaper syndicates (and the surprising reason he changed his mind), the unexpected responses from readers to his work, and which Pearls strips worked and which ones didn't (and how he would have corrected the ones that didn't). The result is a rare and revealing glimpse into the world of Rat, Pig, Goat and Zebra. Full of humor and insight, sardonic asides and unexpected truths, Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic is a book that comics fans everywhere can enjoy anytime-even when they're 64!

Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic
This humor is dry. It is goofy. It ranges from the intellectual to the downright stupid. It is certainly irreverent. Anything that can be skewered will be skewered. Some of my favorites are the elaborate pun setups. Anyway, this book is funny, and I laughed.
Stephan Pastis, one-time lawyer turned cartoonist, writes an introduction that tells how he got into cartooning. And some of the strips are annotated with comments by the author, telling where he got his inspiration, or commenting on his limited drawing ability, or sharing the feedback different strips got from fans. This commentary added to my enjoyment.
This book is recommended for anyone who lives in a house of crazy people, like I do.
