Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 03, 2015

Larry, you just insulted yourself. And as usual you’re too stupid to know it. Feel awfully sorry for Patty, but I guess she can’t divorce him. Courts would probably side with Larry only because he’s too stupid to survive on his own without alimony.

Larry’s a coward.

They say “for better or for worse” and the wives like Larry’s wife and Flo Capp are always stuck in the “for worse.”

Hey, Larry’s telling the truth in the last panel…..It’s not his fault….

Her hands must be tied down, because she hasn’t hauled off and creamed him yet.

If they have a girl, I wonder if she’ll have her mothers’ hair.

Larry’s really being a weenie, to be frank.

The word “married” should have been in italics.

Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

Carol Burnett once said that if you want to know what giving birth is like, take your lower lip and pull it over the top of your head. Maybe Patty should do that to Larry… ;)

Larry makes a good point- I don’t want to see how hot dogs are made, either.

……and I DID see all my kids come out. I love ‘em to pieces, but it still wern’t a pretty sight!

I’ve seen hot dogs made and I’ve seen children born. I pick the hot dogs….

The smartest thing, Larry, has ever said in the last panel!

So Larry has a smart phone………..hard to say Larry and smart at the same time. Croc Power !

Is the obstetrician there to dig a hole for the eggs?

The best time to take the advice of a doctor is well before you need the advice of a doctor.

I hope you have a comfy couch, Larry, because that’s where you’re going to be sleeping for the next several years….

Don’t kill him, Patty! It’s for the children!

Part of the high school biology class on reproduction is a film that includes a very graphic childbirth scene, in which nothing is left to the imagination. Last time I showed it, I heard a girl in the back mutter, “I am never having sex…”

I didn’t know Larry is a man!

The next doctor Patty should see is a psychiatrist!

I’m surprised no one has pointed out they lay eggs and don’t have live birth….

3 days in a row with the crocs, and the storyline looks to continue!!

interesting how i know at least one couple who could definitely be patty and larry. and yep he is as intelligent as larry. but i am still wondering how pastis is going to ‘throw us a curve’ in this series. so am trying to prepare for anything.

Hey, it could have been worse. He could have been the kind of man who stands around with a video camera and tells the woman she’s “not looking into the camera, honey.”

Hmmm, every time I see ‘Crock-speek’ I think of the Ferengi!

Witnessing it is one thing.Be on the receiving end…..I have done two roadside.I remembered three instructions1. Grip firmly…they are slippery.2. Keep your mouth closed.3. Safety glasses.

Is the doctor psychic, already knowing that it will be a “beautiful” child? With that gene pool I would tend to doubt it……..

Not sure what the big deal is. She’ll be “giving birth” to an egg. It will be quite some time before they see the “beautiful child”.

Larry apparently knows how much of a loser he is.Which kind shows that he isn’t completely dumb.

check out spoof of call the midwife. seems like a good time to mention it

You know, I never thought of that. Why DID she marry Larry? Must have been an arranged marriage…

Don’t crockydiles lay eggs?

Remember that you said “I do” as well, Larry.

Right?

xxx

I did NOT go into the labor and delivery room. The kids made it out just fine.

This one shouldn’t surprise anyone. Larry’s not a MAN – he’s a REPTILE.

Patty should hold Larry’s… hand during the birth. That’ll larn im. Moms, you know what I mean.

Larry make poor choices, talking like that in front of Mrs. Larry.

For all those who keep reminding us that crocs lay eggs, since when do they lay them in hospital delivery rooms?It’s a comic. Like the misspelling cows from Chick-Filet.

Great strip today, Pastis. Laughing-out-loud funny.

Very poor choices…

Or go to the hospital with a human doctor to deliver………..about two days after finding out about the pregnancy?
