Pearls Before Swine : BLTs Taste So Darn Good 
asked by guitarplayer on November 10, 2006 9:43 AM
Pearls Before Swine is the hilarious new comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant, egotistical Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together with Zebra, the activist, and Goat, the reluctant brain, Pearls Before Swine offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. Smart, witty, and sometimes painfully honest, Pearls Before Swine mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature with cynical humor.Pearls Before Swine has been syndicated by United Feature Syndicate since January 2002 and now appears in more than 100 newspapers worldwide. In panel after panel, Pearls Before Swine causes readers to lose themselves in laughter.

Stephan Pastis is the greatest cartoonist working today. BLT's Taste So Darn Good continues his run of high quality, insightful, funny, cutting edge cartoon humour. Highly recommended.

Simply said....I believe there's no comic out there today that can beat Pearls Before Swine. This is what humor is about and Pastis does it day in day out. From the egocentric and nefarious Rat, to the pitiful yet sympathetic Pig, his characters embody that sort of everyday day humor that lurks within us, bright or dark, hitting home every time.

I once heard a comedian say that Pizza was like Sex - Even when it's bad, it's pretty good.
Pearls before Swine is the same way. It's one of the most consistently funny comic strips available today. In our current landscape of daily comics, most strips will tread water with mediocre humor, punctuated by truly funny moments. Pearls, on the other hand, is almost always truly funny, punctuated by inspired, laugh-out-loud, laughing until it hurts moments.
Pearls is full of painfully bad puns, dark comedy, and a brilliant perspective on the silly nature of man.

I bought this book plus "Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club" and discovered that all the comics in this book are also in "Sgt. Piggy's". The comics are great, but I recommend you buy "Sgt. Piggy" instead, it contains much more, and it's also annotated by the author.
