This Little Piggy Stayed Home: A Pearls Before Swine Collection

Stephan Pastis is rewriting how people think of the contemporary comic strip. In his wildly successful Pearls Before Swine, which appears in more than 150 papers worldwide, he shows us just how funny and surprising a sly, subversive comic strip can be.

In This Little Piggy Stayed Home, Rat, Pig, Zebra, and Goat – Pastis’s own merry band of rabble-rousers – explore the strange and wonderful world around them, a place that looks suspiciously like our own.

Stephan Pastis is an attorney by training and an iconoclast by temperament. A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and UCLA Law School, he worked as a lawyer in the San Francisco Bay area before deciding to try his hand at cartooning. This Little Piggy Stayed Home is his second Pearls Before Swine book.
