Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 08, 2013

Crocs have met their match.

Ah. Lunch is Dolphin Club(ed).

“Tastes like chicken.”

Did the dolphins also eat the stools the crocs were standing on?

Oh! They must be those rare hammer-head dolphins.

Watch your head!

Arye…. they are sophisticated dolphins….they do NOT eat a croc’s stool. Yuck!

The crocs may have a comeback. These things have a way of escalating.

I can answer that one – crocs generally win against sharks!

Proof the Crocs of Zeeba Zeeba Eata are complete idiots. There’s always more than two types of predators in that town. I don’t recall the Lions moving away. And what about the town’s number 1 prdator, Rat. You’d never think of a rat as a predator, but Rat preys on every one. Though not in the same since as the Crocs mean.

At this rate, they’ll run out of crocs.

dont forget bear in boots, although he cant catch anything…

Two Burts down! Was the other croc a Bob? I guess not (the) Larry! Nothing quite so fine as amoral dolphins to thin out the idiots….

They did that on porpoise.

There’s something really great about those little smiley faces on the side of the pool.

sneeky, sneeky feesh. ees not gud.

Wait…don’t they (the crocs) make two?

Will Zebra install a pool in his yard for his new buddies?.Have they ever had Rat?

Dem bonz, dem bonz, dem dry bonz…

Leafing back, I see that the dolphins seem to have eaten Burt three times, raising the imminent specter of croc reincarnation, which makes me shudder.

apparently no one has noticed that one croc was named Burt, who was the first croc eaten in the dolphin vs croc strip a few days back. apparently they are reincarnated, regurgitated or all have the same names

Only if Pastis runs out of ink!

… and I’ve always thought dolphins were sweet!

So… dolphins’ flippers have joints in them?

I guess the dolphins like to go out ‘clubbing’.

Too many Burts…it gives me a haddock. Maybe I should see a sturgeon who can remove my nemon. Or not, just for the halibut. Don’t start urchin me to get that anemone…I’ve read too many Pastis tunas. [Wanders off mumbling incoherently; a broken man.]

Funny, I hear Enya in the background . .♫ . ♪ . . ☻

Ah, that is a good one.

I’m torn between paraphrasing two songs.“Bang bang Dolphins sliver hammer came down across Burt’s head” or “If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning.”

So long and thanks for all the crocs!

I have always maintained that you only hear of dolphins that save humans and swim the humans to shore because the dolphins that attack the humans always succeed and eat the humans.By the way dolphins can’t walk on their tails, please try to be realistic.

The Crocs would be safer staying at Zeeba’s house.

They’re behind you!

Blunebottle? We have Bluebinkle here? Little East Finchley lad in a cardboard-and-string Scout uniform? Ying tong iddle i po!

I thought Burt had already been eaten?http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2013/01/04

Okay anyway we can bring that Killer Whale back to eat the Dolphins? cause this is just too one-sided.

just keep getting better ever day

maybe LGD will show up for a swim and blow these dolphins back to the sea.

So they ate burt twice?

Croc resurrection. Makes everything easier!

Idiots

Do we know if one of them is Flipper?

Dolphins & Zebra 4Crocs 0

Insatiable appetites. They even ate the stool!

They’ve created a new arcade game: Whack-em-all!

there are no waves showing the crock was really there. Photo-shop… er, read Madcow’s last entrant.Stools are gone, but there are bones…Plus, there seems to be a huge gap of action between the 2nd and 3rd pane. No “SLAM/CHOMP” as the previous dates.

Bluebottle: What time is it Eccles? Eccles: Err, just a minute. I, I’ve got it written down ‘ere on a piece of paper. A nice man wrote the time down for me this morning. Bluebottle: Ooooh, then why do you carry it around with you, Eccles? Eccles: Well, umm, if a anybody asks me the ti-ime, I ca-can show it to dem. Bluebottle: Wait a minute Eccles, my good man… Eccles: What is it fellow? Bluebottle: It’s writted on this bit of paper, what is eight o’clock, is writted. Eccles: I know that my good fellow. That’s right, um, when I asked the fella to write it down, it was eight o’clock. Bluebottle: Well then. Supposing when somebody asks you the time, it isn’t eight o’clock? Eccles: Ah, den I don’t show it to dem. Bluebottle: Well how do you know when it’s eight o’clock? Eccles: I’ve got it written down on a piece of paper!
