Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 07, 2017

Woomun, hit Larry over the head with a frying pan.

Hey, woomun, pease heet stoopeed Larry wid roolah. Dat teech heem lesseen he no suun fahgeet.

What became of Junior going away to school? He didn’t flunk out, did he?

Lampy is amazed by his stupidity…

Considering what they can win I´m guessing they can afford a thousand tickets.

But Larry is right. If he buys 999 more tickets, the odds are only 140,000 to one – much better!

The lottery is a tax on credulousness.

Larry should come to our state. The odds of winning the regular state lottery are much better, one in 7,059,052.

Come to think of it, I did see this weird green guy with a long snout at the convenience store the other day.

Crocs where have you been? WE DEMAND MORE CROCS!!!

YAY! CROCS!!

Crocs rule!!

And if he wins the lottery, he’ll probably squander the money on beer and KFC.

Funny! And crocs are back! Yay!

Great going, Junior!

CROCS!!!!!!!!

Why is Junior the ONLY intelligent Male Croc other then Larry’s Father? Does the intelligence skip a generation?

I’d love to see a flashback sequence that explains exactly why Junior’s mom ever agreed to marry Larry.

I used to buy lottery tickets for coworkers, living in a neighboring state that had no lottery. I found that buying one ticket ( one dollar) provided sufficient daydreaming entertainment each week to be a good value.

There was once a “Dilbert” arc where Dogbert was selling expired lottery tickets. His selling points were that his tickets were cheaper than new ones, and the odds of winning were only one in ten million less.

I suddenly thought of that Family Guy episode where Peter buys 2 boxes of fake lottery tickets and the whole family is checking them for over 3 days not knowing they are actually fake.

Ah, yes, the lottery. Also known as the idiot tax.

Larry is going to change the household budget, all right; just not in the way he thinks. Patty won’t being paying for his lottery tickets or his beer anymore when she’s tossed him out!

I was starting to think the crocs had been deported!

Return of the Crocs—woo-hoo! They always make me smile.

You’re already 40, Larry. You’re really gonna waste another 40 years trying to win the lottery? Then again, there is a tiny chance of just one of those next 999 tickets being the winning ticket, so go for it..
