Joining him for the journey are Pig, the slow but good-hearted conscience of the strip; Goat, the voice of reason that often goes unheard; and Zebra and the eternally inept Crocodiles who pursue him. Together this mindful menagerie mocks the flaws and shortcomings of human nature through Pastis's cynically biting wit.\n\n* The third Pearls Before Swine treasury, this book combines all the cartoons from Da Brudderhood of Zeeba Zeeba Eata and The Sopratos, along with annotations by Pastis.\n\n* From courtroom antics to references of other cartoon strips, Pastis's strip is a fresh presence on the comic pages.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0740771000\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0740771000.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pastis, Stephan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
