When Pigs Fly: A Pearls Before Swine Collection

When Pigs Fly collects the very first Pearls Before Swine Sunday strips from 2010, offering readers a concentrated dose of the strip's signature blend of cynical humor and absurdist animal antics. Published by Andrews McMeel, this single-issue volume captures the early work of creator Stephan Pastis, whose sharp wit and self-deprecating characters—like the clueless Rat and the earnest Pig—established the strip as a modern newspaper staple. It matters as a compact introduction to one of the most consistently clever comic strips of the 21st century.
