Full disclosure here – I am huge fan of Pearls Before Swine and of its creator, Stephan Pastis. In fact, it has been my great pleasure to not only meet Mr. Pastis, but to hang out with him as well. He is an amazing combination of funny and charming with tremendous charisma and yes, I do have a bit of a man crush. I must have made quite an impression on him as well as he actually corresponds with me from time to time. Quick side note – Mr. Pastis is Greek and he occasionally corresponds in Greek. In fact, I got a note from him just the other day. Did you know that the Greek word for “friend” is “stalker” and that “see you soon” is “restraining order?”
Man crush aside, I want to skip the normal praise I would heap upon him for his writing, drawing, artful commentary, being so handsome, etc. and praise him from a marketing perspective. This weekend I realized that Stephan Pastis is a genius!
