Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 31, 2013

Flaming Jeffy! Yaaayyy!

ACK!!! That would be even worse!

Who’s the other “Family Circus” sibling: P.J. or something? Pray Larry doesn’t reincarnate into him either.

The last time a family circus character made an appearance he wasn’t a giant. What’s going on here?

What is all this hair afire, a Richard Pryor convention?

Dolly?Dolly Parton?

Billy, Dolly, Jeffy and P.J. I hate myself for knowing that.

Zeeba Neighba must be acting as script adviser and rewrite guy for Cartoon Boy. The croc-chef gets the punchline, but only after Zeeba sets him up, speaking for Pastis.My hope is that Larry is reincarnated as Larry; but we shall see….

to paraphrase ’Dinosaurs’… “We’re gonna another Jeffy!”

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪

Well, hel-lo, Dolly,Yes, hel-lo, Dolly,it’s so nice to have you back where you belong…

♪♫♪♫♪♫♪

“What madness is this, Pastis!?”

I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Nice that you finally explained who Jeffy is for those of…umm… well those of you that are under 50 years old…

However, I must point out that this is yet another of Zeeba’s atrocities in promoting torture against the poor, defenseless Crocs in Zeeba’s efforts to continue to occupy the Land of the Crocs and drive them out of their own homeland.“That’s one way to get rid of him!!!”What a vicious vile creature is Zeeba; massacring Crocs; even the cute Jeffy Crocs.For shame!

Looks like Jeffy has desserted us.

(That was as corny as Jeffy-Pop!)

Maybe Larry will come back as Zeeba. Them’s good eatin’!

Maybe Larry could come back as some of the old Pearls’ characters that never appear anymore: the lions, hyenas, or the killer whale?

this strip used to be funnier :-(

At the end of the Doonesbury comments section, I noted that I had a cascade of identical comments because GoComics was readjusting itself while I was trying to post. Took me awhile to delete the duplicates (or multiplicates).

yes, if it must be a dolly, I’m voting for Dolly Parton!!!

“Set fire to your hair!” Next Larry might just “poke a stick at a grizzly bear”!

This is the best Family Circus strip that I’ve ever seen!

Hobbes! Tiger vs. alligator!

I’d like to see Billy’s overhead dash track on this run!

Forget Dolly, hope he doesn’t come back as PJ. Or worse, Billy, Dolly, Jeffy, and PJ all at once.

Enough about Larry already; where’s Moe and Curly? And Harpo, Chico, Groucho and Zeppo?

My favorite part about this is that the crocs did this intentionally. Who would have thought they would be smart enough to remember a failed scheme and reuse it to their advantage?

At least now the crocs are talking to Zebra without the intention of eating him.

somthing about the image of jeffy with his head on fire is very appealing
