BREAKING STEPHAN is a “Pearls Before Swine” collection that
features strips that originally ran in newspapers from September 4, 2012 – June
2, 2013. The “Pearls” book covers are usually really entertaining and the cover
for BREAKING STEPHAN continues that. It features a parody of the cable tv
series, BREAKING BAD. Typical of “Pearls” humor, the book is filled with witty
one-liners, bad puns, and extensive verbal gags. There are also several longer
storylines. A few of the storylines featured in this collection include Guard Duck working at a radio station, Rat
running for public office, and Larry the Croc job hunting. Some of my favorite
storylines in this collection are the one where Andy the (Chained-up) Dog,
breaks free and rushes to the hospital to see his dying dad, the one where the
killer dolphins move into the neighborhood, and the one where Zebra decides to
take a tropical vacation and it goes all wrong. There’s also lots of strips
feature lemmings (I love those guys), an armadillo, and the return of a
character that died years ago. Overall, BREAKING STEPHAN is another fine
collection of “Pearls Before Swine” comic strips.
