Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 18, 2013

Get rat on the phone with the resort people.

Polite, but foolish. Yes, do put Rat on the phone to the resort people.

Knowing Rat, though, he’d just find a way to screw Zebra over.

Remember this?:If they could see me now,That old gang of mine,I’m eating fancy chowAnd drinking fancy wine…

With no shade Zebra will end up like a newspaper: Black and white and red all over.

I still think its a croc plot

Sherlock, I substitute teach…..I saw a girl that at one time was so shy she could hardly read out loud, (6th Grade), just a few years later, I saw her vamp it up big time to that song and Big Spender trying out for the high school play……..Quite amazing….

Rat can send Larry Croc to help Zebra!

In Live and Let Die James Bond escaped from an island about that size by running over the backs of crocodiles. I wonder …

And that’s why so many companies get away with providing terrible service — too many people (and zebras) hate to complain!

Croc bait.

Most often these days, polite don’t get it done.

Zebra must be Canadian!

Might want to conserve that cell phone battery!

If Rat got on the phone, the world will end for Zebra.

Just in case on one gets it, the song I mentioned in my earlier post was used in commercials for Carnival Cruise Lines in the 1980s.

I hope he has a boat in that suitcase.

Zebrinson Crusoe

Agreed, Pig… I never like to complain either as I hate to be a bother.

Time for the DOLPHINS!!!

Look at Pig! Even he knows better…. I would think, given his general naivete, he would’ve done the same thing…. or “been in the same boat”.

I wanna know who his cell phone service is with, I’m buying in. Roomservice!

The mini-bar has 3 starfish, a squid and a bucket of chum.

@dukedoug:The Last Resort is on Bellamy Cay in B.V.I. http://www.bareboatsbvi.com/bellamy_cay.html

In this case he should take a page out of Rat’s book.

I’m thinking it must be a satellite phone.

GOOD NEWS! Rat’s sending a boat to rescue Zebra! BAD NEWS! It’s the SS Minnow!

but we don’t have tiny desert islands in Kans. a good bet he’s not in Kansas anymore.

Hey Zebra, would you be afraid to swim like HELL if a croc shows up[??

Zebra must be Canadian.

One island over, Fantasy Island…Hmmm, must be a Canadian zebra.

people always take advantage of polite people

Dang, that’s good cell phone reception!

A little TOO polite. I would complain in less than 5 seconds.
