Pearls Hogs the Road #[nn]
In this delightfully self-aware comic, the ever-competitive Stephan finds his artistic pride challenged by a neighbor girl whose talent far surpasses his—until she walks away from drawing altogether, drawn instead to a mysterious world just beyond the page. Written by Stephan Pastis and Bill Watterson, with art and inks by both, this 2017 issue blends humor and quiet wonder, celebrating creativity in all its unexpected forms. The cover, by Thomas Gibson and Graphics Four, captures the moment just before the leap into the unknown.
