Award-winning cartoonist Stephen Pastis will be celebrating the release of Pearls Fall Fast (a Pearls Before Swine treasury) and Timmy Failure: Now Look What You’ve Done with a talk and signing Tuesday, March 25!

In the Pearls treasury collection, the eclectic Pearls Before Swine cast play out their their respective roles. Rat is the arrogant know-it-all, taking constant advantage of the naive and simple Pig, with wise and pedantic Goat looking on in detached disapproval. The incredibly inept Crocs still hold hopes of eating their Zeeba neighbors. Throw in cameo appearances by Guard Duck and Snuffles the Cat and you get the full tableau of Pearls comedy. Pastis’ personal annotations lend insight and more humor to this Pearls Before Swine rendition.

Pastis is an attorney turned cartoonist. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and the UCLA School of Law, he worked as a lawyer before trying his hand at cartooning. Pastis lives in the Bay Area, with his wife and two children.

Come join Pastis 7:00 pm Tuesday, March 25, at Bookworks, 4022 Rio Grande Boulevard NW (north of Griegos).
