[sowoneekim]

[SpartanLion12]

No sheet, Sherlocke

[CaptainCosmo0]

if they do an animated series, or movie, i think Lewis Black should voice rat :)

[RCCola339]

@CaptainCosmo0 I think Stephen should, because he thinks of Rat as his persona. Well, evil persona.

[MrAlienBurrito1]

I have Sgt Piggys Lonely Hearts Club Comic, The Crass Menagerie, and Pearls Sells Out

[Rathnaktor]

According to the intro of one of his tresury (i think it is crass menagire) that he said he was inspired to send in his cartoon when he stood over the grave of his law school best friend, who "always encouraged him to be creative and do things he wouldnt do otherwise."

[grufeetywy]

@Rathnaktor the intro for crass menagerie is when he talks about when his mom and grandmas tried to whack him.

[blade9350]

1:44 the WHAT books? oh peanuts, you should have been more clear

[GreenvilleComics]

i love this strip its my favorite i made my own link on my site

[Cyllid]

I always pronounced it like, Steven Pasteeze.

Not stefen pastiss.

The more you know.

[JohnnyBoy933]

i bought 3 book treasurys from him, all worth it. "You Dumb Pig". The most insulting,funny,evil comic strip ever made. STEPHAN YOUR THE BEST!! Oh and he hates this --> 8)

[ninjaasian2]

i love pearls. i like how pig is so dumb

[rla117]

hullllooOOoo zeeba neighba...

[HighFlyingFalcon]

I think a pearls movie would be awesome as long as the people don't ruin it for stephan btw pearls before swine is awesome

[guestuser2468]

Me no read. Look how smart me is!

[JohnnyBoy933]

@guestuser2468 oh yea!! Do you have the book?

[guestuser2468]

@JohnnyBoy933 yup

[trackstar789]

A TV series would be amazing, but I'm scared they might ruin it.

[streetlight482]

@trackstar789 if its on adult swim or something they probably wont.

[PoposNewGuitarChan]

Comedy Central/Adult Swim needs to pick this up and make it a TV show.

[WideEyeAsian]

I bought his book "The Crass Managerie"

and Im gonna try to buy his other book. I

LOVE HIS COMICS!!!!!!!! Hes so inspiring~

[JohnnyBoy933]

@WideEyeAsian I have, Crass Mangerie, Lions and Tigers and Crocs Oh MY!, and Pearls Sells Out

[Pambie36]

What a truly motivating interview!

How many lawyers do you know who LIKE being a lawyer? Not to generalize, but the very few that I know who really enjoy it ... are assholes.

[Shadowisawsome1]

Pearls before swine FTW.

[ExclusiveCheese]

I want a PG-13 feature film! 90 minutes of pure cinematic perfection.

[PeanutsGeckos]

i love pearls before swine and that would be great if there was a tv series

[igotzapowa]

I would LOVE to see a tv series and also LOVE to have a stuffed animal pig and rat! pearls before swine is epic trolledge!!!

[KingDylan234]

I fucking LOVE your sense of humour!

I think some stuffed animals would an awesome idea, the TV show, not so much, but hey, ya gotta give things a chance!

Keep up the pwnsome work, Pastis, and ignore the haters!

Peace out.

[andrexiostudios]

If they made a movie, with Rat, it would be rated PG-13 for his swearing. If it is not rated PG-13 it is not Pearls.

[TBanana10]

Make a tv show. It'd be great!

[songofthesouthfan]

Pastis, please make the tv show. Don't listen to these fuckers!!

[zman2100]

I hope that you don't make the strip into a TV series. I love 'Pearls' but don't think a TV series would work out well. The only one that's ever really worked well was 'Peanuts.'

[Satoacs2]

I LOVE PASTIS!!!! PEARLS ROCKS!!

[Koontakinte]

"Pearls Before Swine" is the "South Park" of comic strips. One of the only comics that is truly funny.

[Criminal3k]

i want to learn to speak crocese!!!!

[RespectMyCountry]

All the haters with the lamaa controversey need to get some lives.

Pastis is awesome and I own every treasury for Pearls.

[GreekAsianPanda]

I love Pearls Before Swine! I think some stuffed animals would be a pretty good idea, but I don't think a T.V. show would.

I love Zebra the most in the strip and Pig just says the funniest things! God bless you, Stephan! =)

[machiavelligis]

i took today off to watch this video. glad i didnt go past being a intern before i lost my soul. Thanks!!

[PrDavilou1]

CROCS ROCK!

[PrDavilou1]

(pastis, dont make a TV show!!)

[yay4mii]

The "broken people fixer" is the best scam ever!!! RAT ROCKS!!!

[antiwarmom]

You drew on weekends and evenings??? Tell the truth, Pastis, you drew at work too!! Rat was born at Thornton Taylor et al.

[Coolio597]

WackdProductions, there was no Dilbert show was there?

Stuffed animals=great idea

TV show= bad idea

[bobbers7]

I WANT A PIG STUFFED ANIMAL!!!I also want Crocs, Zeeba, and Rat.

[bobbers7]

Oh and by the way, I really admire Pastis for doing what he wants.

FINALLY someone who puts enjoyment of life ahead of money!!!!!!!

[DangerCook]

I LOVE PEARLS BEFORE SWINE!!!

[sheartrigger8]

[kittokino]

[kittokino]

[alizatophat]

@sheartrigger8 shut mouf, wooman.

[tehKOREANdude]

pearls before swine is my love!

[printthelegends]

Pearls Before Swine revitalized my interest in the funnies. Thank you, Stephan Pastis!

[bobbers7]

Better a comic than a lawyer!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Colorado233]

Pearls Before Swine is the best comic eva! On a Saturday like a year ago I e mailed him asking if it was ok if i made a fan site. 2 weeks go by and after checking my mail he wrote saying it was fine but he had to see it first. I made the website with 2 friends and a local Tech teacher. After a month we had it ready and i e mailed it to me. He asked for my address and i gave it to him. 2 days later I get a signed orginal. And to today i hang it in my room.

[ElvanLady]

What's the site name?

[ElvanLady]

what is the site name?

[darthhanz7]

Why'd everyone give me a thumbs down for saying no to the TV show? a TV show would be awful. It would ruin the strip

[kingddd133]

how would it ruin the strip.....as long as its not written by some other hired loser and is all the same characters and stuff......i cant see it sucking

BY THE WAY PERALS IS ONE OF MY FAVS OF ALL TIME (then calvin and hobbes then the far side)

[klev0036]

I agree that a TV show would be bad, so few comic strips make good cartoons. Dilbert and Baby Blues were short lived and Dilbert's Voice is forever changed and altered from what I believed it to be. I don't want to see the way I envision Pig, Rat, Zeebra & Croc's voice changed from the way I believe them to be.

[juze09]

I agree. that's why bill watterson didn't make calvin and hobbes an animated series.

[Colorado233]

I would turn off my tv when it was on. I think Pig's voice is great in my head and I really don't want a TV millionair changeing it.

[hamza721]

no garfield show didnt

[darthhanz7]

dude, garfield was already ruined

[thatkidfromtheparty]

pearls before swine is sooo funny. i have like 3 of there books. if they made an animated series out of it i would go bananas! it would be the best show on tv. pearls, the far side, calvin and hobbes, and peanuts. most legendary comic strips EVER

[obvioslirachel]

AH! They spelled Schulz wrong >:o!

[lovesirius]

I really hate the interviewer.

[ok, not hate. he crazy annoys me.]

[myrdraal2001]

Hope his cartoon lasts longer than the Dilbert one did. BRAVO Ellinopedo!

[ericbilly]

i enjoy both comics, but uh, dilberts still going strong. its been in the business section of the washington post though, for a while now. not sure about other papers.

[myrdraal2001]

I didn't say that I don't like both. Its just that I think its a crime that Dilbert didn't last longer. I haven't really seen too many comics that were turned into series last too long. Have you?

[WackdProductions]

He ment he hope a Pearls show lasts longer than the the Dilbert animated TV show did.

[springnet27]

The cartoon Dilbert is still going strong but if your talking about the animated version yea it didn't last very long.

[myrdraal2001]

Sorry, but the cartoon has been over for a few years. The comic strip is the one that is still around. Cartoon=animated (like a movie).

[konpyuta982]

Holy crap, I would love an animated series of Pearls before Swine.

[nisucar]

I think Stephen Pastis has to be one of the greatest syndicated cartoonests ever. Next to Shultz, and Larson, Pastis has to be one of my most favorite cartoonist when i open the paper in the morning

Keep it up Pastis!

[LimeGirl08]

I love Stephen Pastis and I constantly collect the strips. He is more handsome than I had pictured.

The interviewer got on my nerves, he is constantly putting words on Stephen, interrupts, is loud and shares his experiences when have nothing to do with what Stephen is talking about. Fuck, please change him!

[ooiulkj]

Love Pearls Before Swine. Don't watch TV. Had never heard of Deutsch. Terrible interviewer, talks too much (at the beginning) and interrupts way too often.

[darthhanz7]

i really hope they don't make an animated show
