Pearls Seeks Enlightenment: A Pearls Before Swine Treasury

A single oversized treasury from Andrews McMeel, Pearls Seeks Enlightenment collects the best of Stephan Pastis’s Pearls Before Swine newspaper strips from 2022 and 2023. Pastis, the strip’s sole writer and artist, brings his signature blend of cynical humor, talking-animal absurdity, and meta-commentary on the comics page. This volume matters as a snapshot of Pastis’s continued mastery of the daily comic form, offering fans a generous dose of Rat, Pig, and the rest of the strip’s lovably miserable cast.
