King of the Comics: A Pearls Before Swine Collection #[nn]

This 23rd volume of the Pearls Before Swine collection series, titled King of the Comics, gathers daily and Sunday strips from Stephan Pastis's acerbic and absurdist newspaper comic. The book continues the misadventures of the cynical Rat, the naive Pig, and the rest of the anthropomorphic cast as they navigate friendship, media satire, and existential dread. Pastis's trademark blend of sharp wit, meta-humor, and occasional heartfelt moments remains on full display in this installment.
