Smart, sharp, and sometimes cynical, Pearls Before Swine is the fastest growing cartoon property in the universe. Stephan Pastis offers Pearls Before Swine fans a combustible collection brimming with explosive action inside Pearls Blows Up. Collecting every cartoon from 50,000,000 Pearls Fans Can't Be Wrong and When Pigs Fly, this hot-to-the-touch, volatile edition also includes annotated thoughts reflecting Pastis's searing wit. Offering blistering commentary on hot-button topics related to recent news events, popular culture, cartoon-page contemporaries, and more, Pearls Before Swine expertly illustrates the flaws and shortcomings of human nature through Pastis's mindful menagerie of fiery and feisty characters. Arrogant, self-centered, and totally hilarious Rat stars in misadventure after misadventure with his four-legged friends, Pig, the slow but good-hearted conscience of the strip; Goat, the voice of reason that often goes unheard; Zebra, the activist; and those eternally inept carnivorous Crocs. Catch the dynamite action inside this hot-off-the-press edition of Pearls Blows Up. With multiple honors as Best Comic Strip of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society, and an international fan base that follows the strip's appearance in more than 600 newspapers worldwide, Pearls Blows Up is guaranteed to be a blast.… (lisätietoja)

Quick impressions: I found the humor somewhat inconsistent. When it is good, it really can be good. When it is bad, it can be pretty flat. Also, I can do without the author's commentary he includes in most of the strips; it often just boils down to overexplaining a joke or punchline. If you need to explain the joke, it was not that good for starters. I still liked most of it. I'd say borrow it if you want to read it.

First Off, I recently Read 50,000,000 Pearls Fans Can't Be Wrong, which is the first half of this book, which is reviewed.

Now, I think my Library has some Pearls Before Swine Fans in the Book Ordering department, since they seem to always have the new volumes. I'm kind of amazed by it.. I live in a conservative place and would expect to see more Family Circus Collections.

As for the second half of the book - hilarious. I say this every single time, but this is my favorite comic strip. I almost always find something to laugh at in a Pearls Strip. This collection is no different. I especially like the commentary. Its short and usually only a sentence or two, but it adds so much to the comic strip.

By the way, I say my new kitten is evil, but I'm fairly certain he isn't hiding artillery in his cat tree. Although the other cat... she's sneaky. ( )

This is one of my favorite comic strips to read in the morning. First the artist doesn't take himself too seriously and when he's short on ideas he often draws himself in the comic (generally looking like a bum) and has his characters poke fun at him for not being great. Secondly, its almost always funny. From Rat doing and saying the things you really want to in real life, but not being able to; to Pig's sweetness balancing it out. Oh and of course the crocodiles...always trying to catch Zebra in some elaborate scheme (ok elaborate is probably too big of a word for the crocs, but some type of scheme.) Thirdly he has fun with some of the other comics, normally Family Circus, and it's always fun to see their interactions with Pastis's world.

The biggest bonus of buying the treasury is to read Pastis's commentary and see what he's thinking. He openly admits when he thinks a strip is bad and often provides some great insight into what he was thinking in the storyline. Pearls before swine is always a fun read and this latest treasury provides entertainment to last hours upon hours.
