Pearls Sells Out, a Pearls Before Swine film by Stephan Pastis

[penzin56]

The crocs are total Idiots. Sumtimes i just skip the other scripts and skip to the croc scripts

[cpclmbass]

Wow... Umm, yeah.

And yet your comic strip is nowhere near this LAME.

Larry should switch from Zeeba to Cartoonist who try make videeo.

[TWISTEDxSCOOT]

stephan pastis=my hero

[TheJrconservative]

dilbert aint got nothing on this

[skinnyshit8888]

TO ALL OF THOSE THAT RE WONDERING WHAT "chateubriand" is:

It's a fancy steak

look on page 75

[narwill42]

Bill Amend cameo wooooooooo!

[Awsomestuph]

steevan=zeeba other buisnees man= crocadyel

[TheGodOfPwn]

You know what's weird? I happened to be reading Pearls Sells Out right before watching this video. Pearls=Amazingly Funny Epic Awesomeness.

[pattitsai]

So, what we've always wondered is, Is Rat Stefan Pastis' alter-ego?

[therantingsociety]

@pattitsai In some of his books Stephan has said that he often uses Rat to express his opinions so yes in a way but not 100% of the time.

[pattitsai]

@therantingsociety Very interesting! Thank you!!

[RoyalwCheese2517]

"Holy Shit that guy is on that fucking ledge"

lol

[FoxTrottrGrl]

It's like "The Office" meets "Pearls" - awesome!

[GreenvilleComics]

love this strip so much i made my own link on my profile

[GreenvilleComics]

i love this strip so much that i made my own link on my channel

[buzzboy4321]

love this video!

[davidsusanmarthajay]

I wonder if this video was supposed to be funny, or if this is how Stephan acts serious.

[Fatalityman721]

Pearls before swine is my favourite comic =)

they sell in the newspaper (The Province) this comic rocks

[THATSBAM]

love this cartoon

[SlapTheTurtle]

i wish i had seen him as a lawyer

the judge probably hated him lol

[kmaxinator]

I am a HUGE Pearls Before Swine fan, and for this to be my first time seeing the genius behind this incredible strip (besides the in-comic cameos) is totally worth it. His sense of humor is amazing, and it's refreshing to know that he can bring it to life in the real world as well. He should definitely create a video blog. MAJOR kudos to Pastis and Pearls Before Swine!

[yummymuffin100]

i'm reading pearls sells out right now!

[GuitarLegend71]

My dad is a lawyer, and he keeps a switchblade in his desk. His partner is a shitfaced cockmaster, and can be easily caught off guard.

[jowston100]

PBS is not funny at all. Lego Robot, Pictures for Sad children and C&H are all much much better.

[galenator123]

he used to live in allbany california, thats where i live!

[PoposNewGuitarChan]

Currently reading "Pearls Sells Out." Literally the best comic strip I've read other than Calvin and Hobbes.

[oray23]

Hard to believe he used to be a lawyer lol

[will97677]

calvin and hobbes and pearls befor swine are the bast

[Beezoballs]

You don't understand. Johnny Glynn never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him. It'll make him a big star. But I'm gonna run him out of the movies. And let me tell you why. He's a chubby chaser. Likes 'em fat. It disgusts me.

[prettyphil17]

at 7:00 they forget to censor the word fucking

[crazykids76]

Calvin and Hobbes / Pearls Before Swine

Best. Comics. Ever.

[TheRadioactivemutant]

totally

[MarcusHBP7]

ROFL! at 5:52

"get your fu*kin hand off me!" haha hilrious vid. pearls rocks!

[MegaVideoreviewer]

i <3 kansas city i <3 where i got my book from there too <3

[PortlyInPugetSound]

I showed this video at my OA meeting last week and we loved it. Mr. Glynn is a living embodiment that we are all God's children no matter how grotesque we may look to you.

[streetlight482]

pearls is my second favorite comic strip ever next to the far side

[VecTron5]

so your favorite continuing comic strip?

[streetlight482]

@VecTron5 ya.

[WoodsBurner202]

[WideEyeAsian]

[sailingfms]

Stephan has a nice bawdeh!

[UltimateEEnEFan]

This guy is a comedic genius!!!

[atomofish]

Just bought the book today. This comic is legendary!

[Cartmanfor2012]

HA Just bought the book yesterday. Its great!

[hellokittykid9]

Ok this is gunna sound dumb, what IS a syndicate?

[soeljams]

A basic definition of a syndicate is a group of people or organizations working together to carry out a task. A syndicate such as Universal is an organization that publicizes a writer's work to newspapers, magazines, etc. Basically the equivalent to a writer or cartoonist, what an agent is to an actor.

[bobbob24able]

and plus bribabytt. Satanic overlord? Really?

Is that the best you could come up with

[Aangfish]

And man, you people need to calm down. Just because the comics page is stuck in the 1940s doesn't mean the creators are. CARTOONISTS SWEAR, LE GASP. WHAT A CONCEPT.

[bobbob24able]

no kidding. its supposed to be funny

[73emanon]

@Aangfish

No kidding, they have been "swearing" since the old days, so these people can go $%#!@ themselves. ;P

[Aangfish]

I want those Pearls plushies. =X

[bribabytt]

Boy, I didn't know cartoonists used so much profanity. Does he kiss his satanic overlord with that mouth?

[lolwtfnothing]

at 7:00 you hear stephan swear :)

[mishachan7]

stephen you are my hero haha i just bought the last book yesterday to it's sooo funny

[DemonDogProductions]

"Mom, please don't cuss."

[DemonRaaze]

It was funny, and creative to have them actually get in to the building and then film it all. But my only question would be "Where was security during all this?"

[Wolfjet1]

Is Bill Amend the one who opens the door that slams on his nose?

[foxtrix]

Best cameo belongs to Bill Amend, creator of "Foxtrot". I still haven't gotten over his retirement from the dailies..Foxtrot haven't been the same since then..

[ALBoldt2626]

stephan is hilarious.

we needa get him on SNL.

[Fabbibe]

Pearls FTW!

[darkhorseal]

Really don't get all the comments here...it's not very funny.

[hurricanejbb]

Stephan is a genius.

[tsukukeru]

Pastis would be a great comic actor.

[malay8881]

hey is it real or the fat guy just acting i think the guy open the door same as push the closet to stephen nose haha

[igotzapowa]

epic win! stephan pastis is amazingly funny!

[johnybobraindeer]

Pastis is funny and i really think he has the best comic strip scince calvin and hobbes. if u havent read either of those comics u should.

[jasonzbell]

Great stuff! Stephan has a natural talent with the camera and his wit had me cracking up for this whole video. I've never read Pearls Before Swine, but watching this video makes me want to change that.

[PortlyInPugetSound]

This video is an inspiration to all us people of large carriage. For the first time, really, we've found a chubby spokesperson who stands up for what he believes. Just because he's morbidly overweight doesn't mean he's jolly.

You can't just poke this proud fat man in the stomach and expect him to laugh. He's fighting back and I say it's about time someone did. Thank you, John Glenn for your courage and your appetite.

BTW, he reminds me a of a less attractive William Conrad.

[90212Karen]

I admire the courage on the fat guy. Not everyone would let themselves be filmed in that condition.

And he reminds me of a smoother-voiced James Coco.

[Beezoballs]

The non-Pastis guy reminds me of a more-flamboyant Nathan Lane.

[TheMightyJohnStamos]

The portly silver-haired fellow reminds me of a young Dom DeLuise. (RIP).

[Tattoo98745]

Pretty sure the other guy is an actor.

[Zarmwhirl]

I've been waiting for this book for quite a while!

[discipleofjos34]

how can these people be in charge of comix and not have ANY sense of humor????? stephan's fuckin hilarious tho, and pearls rox the shit.

[bauisakim]

John is joking I think.

[discipleofjos34]

he fuckin better be. if he's not i'll cry at his patheticness.

[steamfans]

if they had a creative bone in their body they wouldn't be working behind a desk all day

[stevethepocket]

Spoiler: Andrews McMeel is owned by Universal Press. And yes, they publish all of United Features' book collections.

[coolseaguy]

This guy is hilarious !

[writetojackheath]

People say I use too many bleeped swear-words in my videos - I think Stephan topped me.

[writetojackheath]

This was inspired.

[Ellen7961]

Stephan's theme song:

You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for...

By Billy Joel

[Salem83Salem83]

Stephan is insane. :-D

Pearls Before Swine Rules!

[Shaddupyou]

John Glynn should be considered for sainthood because it is a miracle he didn't get a bat and beat Pastis to death.

[shyzaboy]

Umm. You think that was "real"?

Huh...

[Shaddupyou]

Seriously, someone crawling over me like that, even in a play, would make me want to body slam him.

[rubino83]

I wouldn't see why. John Glynn's actually his boss's boss.

[JSTRXD]

sad fact is i would do exactly everything Pastis did...naturally...

[allhailrat]

if this book is already out, i will buy it within two days

[1954shadow]

I think I met John Glynn in person one time!

[cartooningpro]

That was hilarious!! Great job : )

[chaosfilms9295]

hahahahaha

sooo funny

[foxtrix]

One of the Crocs dies yet another tragic death...being thrown from the top a building...Stephan..how could you do this to them!?

[allhailrat]

i believe i saw goat go flying too...

[Koontakinte]

Yeah, but the crocs always die. They're like the "Kenny" of syndicated comics.

[2bookworm]

Amazing

[MashBrothers]

"Maybe you didn't say it HERE, but you thought it HERE, and you felt it in-"

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!"

:D

-Adam

[darthhanz7]

bill amend!

[blenderbach]

loved it!

[MusicManSamwise]

Hilarious! Pastis both looks and acts like Ricky Gervais in "The Office."

[gimpyjosh]

That is brilliant comedy.

[stripes5090]

hilarious!

[quietcreation]

Here you were in KC and I had no idea. You're one of my creative heroes.
