I don't know how I would survive the loss of Calvin and Hobbes or The Far Side without Pearls... (  ) drneutron | May 5, 2008 | I enjoy the humor in this very much. Sometimes I find myself identifying with Pig, sometimes Rat and occationally Goat. I love puns and conversations full of misunderstandings. Reminds me of home. It is great to read the author's comments in here and it makes me feel smart because I understood all the strips which he said many didn't get. Of course, I didn't get a couple of the others, but I thought maybe I didn't want to either. (  ) MrsLee | Oct 20, 2007 | This is so dark...awesome. (  ) fromula | Feb 5, 2007 | Rates up there with Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side as far as I'm concerned. katastrophe | Sep 15, 2005 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
But this is no ordinary cartoon treasury. Like the influential Beatles album that inspired the book's title, Sgt. Piggy is full of surprises. In addition to collecting in one volume all of the Pearls cartoons that appeared in BLTs Taste So Darn Good and This Little Piggy Stayed Home, cartoonist Stephan Pastis takes readers on a VIP backstage tour of one of the most successful new comic strips in newspapers today.
In Sgt. Piggy, Pastis explains the genesis of Pearls (hint: it didn't begin at an artist's easel), why he was initially reluctant to show it to newspaper syndicates (and the surprising reason he changed his mind), the unexpected responses from readers to his work (oh, the letters), which Pearls strips worked and which ones didn't (and how he would have corrected the ones that didn't). The result is a rare and revealing glimpse into the world of Rat and Pig, Goat and Zebra. Full of humor and insight, sardonic asides and unexpected truths, Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic is a book that comics fans everywhere can enjoy anytime-even when they're 64.

Creator Stephan Pastis sets this treasury apart from others by adding notes beneath many of the strips. It makes it feel like watching the old "Pop-Up Video" on VH1 (that shows my age) where interesting behind-the-scenes facts are revealed, like which comics generated the most controversy.
This is an amusing read, and highly recommended for Pearls fans. (
