Macho Macho Animals: A Pearls Before Swine Collection #[nn]

This tenth collection of Stephan Pastis's daily comic strip Pearls Before Swine gathers strips from the series' run in the late 2000s, featuring the usual cast of self-absorbed characters like Rat, the naive Pig, and the perpetually scheming Goat. The volume's title plays on the characters' ongoing delusions of toughness and intelligence, as they stumble through absurd situations and sharp-tongued banter. Published by Andrews McMeel, this trade paperback collects a year's worth of newspaper strips in the signature Pearls Before Swine style of cynical humor and wordplay.
