I'm Only in This for Me: A Pearls Before Swine Collection

In this first collection of Pearls Before Swine strips, Stephan Pastis gathers the sharp, cynical humor that has defined the modern newspaper comic since the early 2000s. Published by Andrews McMeel in 2016, the book showcases the ongoing misadventures of Rat, Pig, and the rest of the strip's flawed, self-absorbed cast. Pastis's distinctive, deadpan wit and willingness to break the fourth wall make this a standout entry in the long-running series, offering a concentrated dose of why the strip remains a fan favorite.
