Baywalk is happy to announce that both United Features Syndicate (syndicator of such strips as Dilbert and Peanuts) and King Features Syndicate (syndicator of such strips as Blondie, Hagar the Horrible and Dennis the Menace) have offered syndication contracts to Stephan Pastis for his comic strip, Pearls Before Swine. Stephan is currently in negotiations with the syndicates. Out of roughly 6,000 submissions received each year by the syndicates, the syndicates select only 2 or 3 such strips for syndication.

Stephan's current Pearls Before Swine strips can be found at www.comics.com/comics/pearls.
