Patton Oswalt has joined the ranks of David Cross and Eugene Mirman as a comedian on Sub Pop. He will release his debut for the label, Werewolves and Lollipops, on July 10. Werewolves is his second full-length album, but he's been a comedian for almost 20 years and has appeared pretty much everywhere recently with his funny friends, including the aforementioned Cross and Mirman, Sarah Silverman, Human Giant, and the Comedians of Comedy. And the list goes on.

Oswalt has also appeared in numerous television series-- including "The King of Queens" and "Reno 911!"-- and will provide the voice for the lead character in the latest Pixar flick, Ratatouille, about a rat named Remy who aspires to be a gourmet chef. We hope Werewolves' 19th track, "Great Food Is Cooked by Psychos", addresses this matter in hilarious fashion.

The voice behind Remy the rat will head out on a U.S. tour in June, though he has a ton of shows in L.A. before then, and-- for those who plan that far ahead-- one D.C. date scheduled all the way in October. Mark your calendars.
