Pearls Before Swine Collections
I had not realized that author-illustrator Stephan Pastis was the same Stephan Pastis that did the Timmy Failure series. I have been a fan of Pearls Before Swine off and on for a few years now. Like any comic, sometimes it was funny and sometimes not so much. I feel for the Crocs but love Zebra, too. Pig and I share a lot of the same qualities. And who does not think like Rat from time-to-time? Or feel like Goat trying to keep our own […]
Go for the throat.
I was in just exactly the right mood for this. And this was just exactly the right balance of satire, genuine laugh out loud humor, and sneaky pathos that I prefer in my Discworld books. But, hey, is this really the last of the Witches books? Are they in the Tiffany Aching ones? I’m gonna miss these ladies. (Even Magrat. And hey, she’s not too bad now that she’s a mother. Much more forceful, and less of a limp dishrag.) Firstly, this is a clever […]
Fractured Fairytale

The things the Llama Llama’s teacher shows him, the library, reading to him and the class, showing how to do their letters, are […]
Not a gas for this reviewer
I was a ten-year-old boy in a former life. Yes, I think fart jokes can be funny. Unfortunately, Someone Farted laid an egg. It had potential to be a real strong one: Nobody admits that they are the one that dealt it, though everyone smelt it (yes, I went there). The adventures keep happening to our car-trip-taking family (arrested, going to jail, dealing with the aftermath of the somewhat confession). They keep building up and up to some great explosive conclusion. Then, nothing. It just […]
