Pearls Hogs the Road: A Pearls Before Swine Treasury

Move over! <i>Pearls Before Swine</i> is back and badder than ever in the new treasury collection <i>Pearls Hogs the Road</i>.<br> <br><br>The <i>Pearls </i>gang returns with characteristically misanthropic humor (but with more leather) : no self-aggrandizing is too flagrant for Rat, no subject is too erudite for Goat, and no sensory input is too basic for Pig.<br> <br>All topics are fair game for Stephan Pastis and his brass-knuckle punch lines. Comic strip censors, apathetic baristas, and IRS employees are all strongly advised to laugh or get out of the way.<br><br><i>Pearls Hogs the Road</i> also features three comic strips illustrated by the legendary Bill Watterson of <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i>, who ended a 19-year hiatus from the comics page to collaborate with Pastis.<br> <br>
