Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 15, 2013
Transcript:
Zebra: Pssst... bartender... you have to listen to me. I know your social activities director. We have a history, and he's trying to get me into the water to eat me. Bartender: Whoa... got it. Zebra: What's that? Bartender: Our "900" number. Push "4" for complaints. Zebra: Perhaps you don't understand. Bartender: Oh, I do. But be patient. They take forever to answer.

All Zebra has to do is outrun the bartender.

@Sisyphos—Zebra looks a bit like “Bogie”, whereas that bartender looks NOTHING like Bacall!AND—Mr. Bogart never said, “Play it again, Sam” in Casablanca or anywhere else! The real line, “You played it for her, you can play it for me. PLAY IT!” is much better!

They COULD tip over the wooden bar and float back, perhaps using the stool as a paddle.

Can’t he just shove the bartender in the water to appease croc?
Potrzebie over 11 years ago
ALl Zebra has to do is point out to LArry that he’s not a salt-water croc and can’t exist in the ocean. The logic of that will automatically kill him, then Zebra can use his carcass as a paddleboard to get home.

Potrzebie over 11 years ago
LArry is so dumb, Zebra can fool him into thinking he’s a gator.
Rickapolis over 11 years ago
I’ve never seen Zebra look so disheveled. And so unshaven.
