Pearls Before Swine: 2009 Wall Calendar [Calendar]

Stephan Pastis (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2008

Nobody does daft, demented, and disturbed better than the Pearls Before Swine gang, and this posse is pulling it off perfectly for another year of twisted fun.

Get a load of The Ratty Bunch in all its goofy glory. The Pearls Before Swine 2012 Wall Calendar features the Pearls Before Swine family (of sorts) in big and brightly colored monthly spreads. See Pig impersonating Bea Arthur, check out Rat quoting Benito Mussolini, and catch the crocs mistaking Zebra's new skylight for a television screen. And no self-respecting fan could go a year without a Pearls pun or two. Given that the original strip accompanies each image, "Dunk rye for me, Arch and Tina!" and "I do not like green ags and Hamm," will all make perfect sense come 2012.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cynical Humor In Wall Calendar Glory, September 17, 2010

Who could refuse a calendar emblazoned with "those stupid crocs", Rat the cynic, Pig the naive optimist, and analytical Goat? I am waiting for the day Mr. Pastis makes a cartoon calendar centerfold of himself in backwards baseball cap and dangling cigarette(and he doesn't even really smoke). The strip is just too funny and I have to start my day with the comics...and the wall calendar just keeps reminding me laugh all day. Great value.

Stephen Pastis' PEARLS BEFORE SWING 2011: DA FANTASTEEK FOUR achieves the same wonderful attraction: a single large-sized stand-alone joke panel from a strip offers the color, accompanied by a small full strip and calendar boxes perfect for both wall display and write-in. A highly recommended top pick for any discriminating wall calendar buyer seeking a blend of humor and usefulness.
