įrom 1993 to 2002, Pastis was an insurance defense litigation attorney in the San Francisco Bay area, but he quickly became disenchanted with the legal profession. It was the first character where I could really say what's on my mind. When I wrote for him it seemed pretty honest. He kept drawing during this time, coming up with the first Pearls Before Swine character, Rat, during what he said was a boring class in law school. The next year, Pastis attended law school at UCLA, where he received his J.D. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, earning a B.A. He started cartooning as a child his mother brought him pens and paper to amuse him when he was "sick a lot" and had to stay in bed.
The son of Greek immigrants, Pastis was raised in San Marino, California. The seventh book, It's the End When I Say It's the End, debuted at #4 on The New York Times Best Seller list for Children's Middle Grade Books. He also writes children's chapter books, commencing with the release of Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made.
