   • STEPHAN PASTIS STARTED OUT AS A CARTOONING LAWYER. Before he committed to cartooning as a profession, Stephan Pastis studied to become an attorney. The San Marino, California native practiced in the field of insurance defense from 1993 to 2002, representing insurance companies who were being sued by policyholders.
   • CHARLES SCHULZ ENCOURAGED HIM. Hearing that Peanuts creator Charles Schulz stopped in for breakfast every morning at a Santa Rosa ice skating rink, Pastis staked out the arena in 1996 in the hopes of soliciting some advice from the legendary cartoonist.
   • A SALES GUY ALMOST KILLED THE STRIP. After honing his skills, Pastis’s Pearls drew the attention of several syndicates. One of them, United, offered a “trial” run where they would verify he could turn in strips on a consistent basis before going out to newspapers.
   • IT MIGHT BE THE DON RICKLES OF COMIC STRIPS. In 2006, Pastis drew some criticism for poking fun at the comparatively mundane strips Baby Blues and Zits, as well as the highly homogenized Family Circus.

   Is Pastis a rat?

   • PASTIS IS A CHARACTER IN THE STRIP. While Pastis has said that the character of Rat exhibits some of his humor, he has been known to frequently insert himself into the strip.

   Why did syndicates reject Stephan Pastis?

   • When syndicates first encountered Stephan Pastis’ creation—about a variously venal, puerile, humble, bloodthirsty, ignorant and preening anthropomorphic menagerie—they passed, just as they had on his earlier submissions of other concepts.
