By Stephan Pastis.

One of the best-selling cartoons today. 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 Pastiss mindful menagerie of fiery and feisty characters. Stephan Pastis offers Pearls Before Swine fans a visit to the other side of the looking glass with his latest collection, Larry in Wonderland. Collecting almost a year's worth of strips, Larry in Wonderland offers cutting-edge commentary on recent news events, popular culture, and cartoon-page contemporaries, and imparts the knowledge that in Wonderland, crocodiles taste a lot like chicken.

Through Pastis's mindful menagerie of characters, including the Mad Ducker, Cheshire Snuffles, Tweedledum Pig, and Tweedledee Idiot Pig, along with Raterpillar, Zebra, and Larry the Croc, Pearls Before Swine expertly illustrates the flaws and shortcomings of human nature, while remaining "indifferent" to conventional cartoon molds such as plotline "continuity." In the words of Raterpillar, "Plotline schmotline."

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 Before Swine transports readers to a world of shifting perspectives and alternate realities, like the one presented inside Larry in Wonderland.

Al Capp reveals the easy answer. Earth is invaded by flying saucers, Hairless Joe becomes the Duke of Djaugh, Adam Lazonga returns, deadly turnip termites invade Dogpatch, General Bullmoose turns 99... and much more.

In one, our favorite bumbling detective moonlights as female officer Phyllis Fosdick. Paramount successfully released their Li'l Abner movie in 1959, but here Li'l Abner makes a separate film... with disastrous results. Years before Japan invaded the American auto market, Capp presciently depicts the success of the $19.95 Japanese Nomotocar (it has no motor), and Capp foresaw the cross-breeding of animals long before DNA manipulation. Also featured in this volume: jinx Joe Btfsplk, pilot Captain Eddie Ricketyback, and more!

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Bad Company!" By Arkás. A Lifer sentenced to 622 years? And the best years of his life, too! Just think how hight the rents will be by the time he gets out! Because, of course, life expectancy is rising all the time... But there's worse than that. Worse than weeks of solitary confinement, reading War and Peace (in Braille) over and over again; worse than prison cooking (the cause of many riots); worse than the prison doctor, who meticulously examines his patients - before killing them; what could be worse than all of that? It's Montecristo the rat! In the darkest hours he is there, ready to remind you of everything you are trying to forget. He holds all of the aces in the game of sarcasm... And has another one up his sleeve! Black humor of the wittiest kind: It's Arkás at his best and most intelligent! Softcover (Horizontal Format), 9-in. x 6 1/2-in., 80 pages, full color.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "A Rat in My Soup!" By Arkás. Life imprisonment. The severest punishment. More exactly, 622 years of jail all as the result of a miscarriage of justice. The only means of escape is laughter. Bitter, subversive, ironic. The lifer wears glasses with such thick lenses that his eyes can hardly be seen. This makes him seem somewhat awkward and yet erudite. His company is a fat and dirty but friendly rat who knows what lies "beneath things," and demolishes any self-deception with his caustic amoral comments. Around them there is a microcosm of unjust rules, senseless regulations, characters in a deadlock. In a series with a strong philosophical touch, Arkás deals with the question of freedom within the world of the prison. Softcover (Horizontal Format), 9-in. x 6 1/2-in., 80 pages, full color.
