Wandering his three-and-a-half acre Santa Rosa property and two-story home with his faithful springer spaniel Edie, Pastis is a living picture of domestic bliss. Then he hopes to launch a new series about a little girl.Īside from his career, the real Pastis is also a happy family man, married to his wife, Staci, a fourth-generation Santa Rosan, for 23 years. The sixth “Timmy Failure” book, which mixes drawings and text in a format similar to the popular “Wimpy Kid” series, comes out this month, and Pastis plans to put out two more. “I can say that much, but I can’t say which studio and I can’t say who the co-writer is.” It’s also too soon to say when the movie might go into production. “I sold the first Timmy Failure book to a major studio and I have been working on the script with a co-writer,” Pastis said. The real-life Pastis is the creator of both the long popular “Pearls Before Swine” syndicated comic strip, running since 2002, and a kids’ book series about the rather arrogant and inept boy detective Timmy Failure, introduced in 2013, which is in the very early stages of a possible live-action film adaptation. One is a successful cartoonist and author, and the other is a comic strip character. Pastis lives with his family in Northern California.Stephan Pastis is really two people. Pearls Before Swine was nominated in 2003, 20 as "Best Newspaper Comic Strip" by the National Cartoonists Society and won the award in 20. Pearls Before Swine debuted in newspapers in January, 2002, and Pastis left his law practice in August of that year.
In December, 1999, he signed a contract with United. Then, in 1997, he began drawing Pearls Before Swine, which he submitted to the syndicates in mid-1999. While an attorney, he began submitting various comic strip concepts to all of the syndicates, and, like virtually all beginning cartoonists, got his fair share of rejection slips. He practiced law in the San Francisco Bay area from 1993 to 2002. Although he had always wanted to be a syndicated cartoonist, Pastis realized that the odds of syndication were slim, so he entered UCLA Law School in 1990 and became an attorney instead. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989 with a degree in political science. Stephan Pastis was born in 1968 and raised in San Marino, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.
