Pearls Before Swine Calendar - Dis Not Plan Me Have in Mind, Floyd (Calendar, 2008 ed.)

A rat is a rat is a rat . . . unless it's Stephan Pastis's rat. In that case, Rat is the top dog in "Pearls Before Swine," one of the funniest comic strips to invade the funny pages in a long, long time. Since debuting in 2001, the highly lauded and deeply disturbed strip has found its way to more than 400 newspapers. This calendar features a year in the life of the messed-up menagerie that is Pig, Goat, Zebra, the ever-popular but not too smart Crocs, and of course, Rat, who in his own words, is, "the world's most superior being, forced by fate to live amongst nobodies."

The treasury collection, Lions and Tigers and Crocs, Oh My! is the most recent "Pearls Before Swine" book. The "Pearls Before Swine" repertoire also includes: The Ratvolution Will Not Be Televised, Sgt. Piggy's Lonely Hearts Club Comic, Nighthogs, This Little Piggy Stayed Home, and the original Pearls Before Swine: BLTs Taste So Darn Good.
