Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 23, 2015
Transcript:
Croc 1: I've been here at boarding school for two weeks and still haven't heard from my parents. Croc 2: I hear you, Eric. Mine called once. But it was a week ago. Croc 1: Yeah, it's like they're happy to have us out of their hair. Croc 2: Except Junior's dad, Larry. He's been in close contact with Junior. Croc 2: Really? How close? Larry the Croc: Preety close. Junior: There have been some separation issues. Larry the Croc: Where me put Larry mattress?

I hope Larry doesn’t do something like this on Junior’s honeymoon.

I rather think that “out of [my] hair” is NOT an expression that any crocodile would use.

Junior, maybe you can get through to Larry by talking to him on his level, like so::“Up your nose with a rubber hose!”

They say “Write what you know.” Could this be about Stephan’s own experiences at UofC ?

I went to Camp for Ten years straight and I don’t recall ever being homesick. I looked forward to it and had fun while I was there, but then I also enjoyed High School also.

I know Patti appears to have some kind of mutation, but really, none of their parents should even have hair.

It really amuses me that crocs apparently aren’t any dumber than other animals, Zeeba just had the bad luck that his neighbors were dumb green trash.

Surely he wouldn’t be known as “Junior” at school, or indeed to anyone who doesn’t know his parents…
