And poor Rob, the vegetarian and "owner" of the bunch, is scrounging for scraps in the midst of this gastronomical fury. Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 256 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $18.99.

Story and art by Stephan Pastis.

In I'm Only in This for Me, the Pearls gang dares to tell the hard truths that the country needs to hear: the importance of prioritizing cheese over everything else, the sadly ignored capacity of bears to solve all of life's problems, and the crucial Recognition Gap between women in bars and semi-obscure cartoonists with delusions of grandeur. But beneath all the selfishness, absurdity, bungling crocs, and bazooka-wielding ducks, Rat, Pig, Goat, and Zebra continue to find that friendship can make life warmer, humor can make stupidity less annoying, and cheese really does make everything way, way better. Lastly, this collection features the triumphant return of a legendary comics icon: Stephan Pastis! (And also some weirdo named Bill Watterson.)

Story and art by Jim Toomey.

After ten book collections and a treasury, great white shark Sherman and the Lagoonies celebrate 15 years of life under the sea with this new collection of creator Jim Toomey's daily cartoons and full-color Sundays. In an imaginary lagoon near the island of Kapupu in the South Pacific lives a group of nutty but sophisticated underwater creatures-complete with neuroses that rival those of humans (also known as "hairless beach apes"). Their wet world, oddly enough, is not so different from our own.

Sherman, a great white shark, is a typical guy, and Megan is his ruthless but nurturing wife. Rounding out the aquatic crew are Fillmore the turtle, geeky fish Ernest, and macho hermit crab Hawthorne. Salty old Captain Quigley, who lost his leg to Sherman years ago, is hell-bent on seeking revenge against the shark. Sherman and friends effectively reflect human behavior and occasionally must confront humans' encroachment on their unspoiled habitat. Activist groups have applauded this comic strip with a social conscience for promoting marine conservation.

Story and art by Jimmy Kugler. Compiled with an Introduction by Michael Kugler.

Near the end of World War II and after, a small-town Nebraska youth, Jimmy Kugler, drew more than a hundred double-sided sheets of comic strip stories. Over half of these six-panel tales retold the Pacific War as fought by "Frogs" and "Toads," humanoid creatures brutally committed to a kill-or-be-killed struggle. Michael Kugler reproduces the never-before-published comics of his father's adolescent imagination as a microhistory of American youth in that formative era.

Also included in Into the Jungle! A Boy's Comic Strip History of World War II are the likely comic book models for these stories and inspiration from news coverage in newspapers, radio, movies, and newsreels.

Story and art by Scott Adams.

Office politics, management trends, corporate bureaucracy, oppressive work spaces, and inscrutable jargon are all targets of Scott Adams's darkly goofy satirical pen. Dilbert strikes a deeply resonant chord with cubicle squatters and corporate drones with its dead-on reflection of the realities of the white-collar workplace, even with its off-the-wall delivery.

This collection features Adams's personal all-time favorite Dilbert cartoons, along with his own handwritten commentary about the strips.

Softcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 240 pages, B&W.

This volume features nearly two years of Dilbert comic strips (including color Sunday cartoons) that have never appeared in book form. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 256 pages, PC/PB&W.
