Edeu Fa Fa! Edeu Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa! Okay, that was odd! This blog needs to be short, because I'm trying to do three blogs today to hit #100 before the year is out! I hoped you liked my previous blog, and if you went through and read every single thing I hate, then please contact your nearest insane asylum, because I don't know ANYONE who would read all that crap.
Today's feature: BETTER KNOW A CARTOONIST! Today--- STEPHAN PASTIS, CREATOR OF THE COMIC STRIP, PEARLS BEFORE SWINE!!!
Stephan grew up not far from where I live, here in Marin County. He was influenced mostly by Charles Schultz, creator of Peanuts. The comic, not the nut itself.
So anyway, one day when Steve was stalking Mr. Schultz, he finally found him and got a chance to talk to him at a local restaurant. Schultz told him to quit his job as a lawyer and become a cartoonist. So he did. Wow. How smooth. Graham Vert
Here's a picture of Stephan Pastis' cartoon, Pearls Before Swine:
It's about a rat, a pig, a zebra, and a goat, who are creatively named Rat, Pig, Zebra, and Goat. They sit around drinking beer and contemplating the end of the world, as seen in the picture. Supporting characters include the homicidal guard duck who stockpiles WMDs, the fraternity of crocodiles who live next to Zebra and constantly try to eat him, and Snuffles the Cat, Zebra's pet, who steals watches and runs an illegal bookie operation. Pig and Rat are the main characters.
Wow, this was a short blog. Join me next time for my official 100th blog!!!
Bye!
