Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 01, 2020

Reelistic, yes.

Realistic, no.

im ready

That wasn’t very Wile E of Larry.

True to form, the Crocs are. No social distance, no masks, swilling beer like drunken sailors.

Hi Larry! Long time no see!

Just as responsive and intelligent, too!

If a croc buys the wrong kind of mask, he’ll have a muzzle which he won’t like.

Him looking for Zeeba! Hi Larry!

What Larry learning? Multi-dimensional string theory? The mathematics of time paradox? Bi-lateral Subsequentialism? How to hold in fart til company leave?

Life itself is Continuing Education ! … Croc Power ! Nice sign Larry ;-)

Yay, the crocs! Love their humor!

Larry is an artiste.

Oh saaweet mother of glory my favorite crocks are back. I hope to see more of them.

Larry’s back!!

I always like it when the Croc family gets some Pearls time..I miss them.

Hey!!! Larry!!! Good to see you. Just been wondering how Jef the cyclist is dealing with it all.

Eat , drink and be merry, for tomorrow we shall die!

Yay! More crocs! I’ve been missing them.

Oh pleeze, more crocs more often!!!

Wheres ZEEBA? MORE ZEEBA!

I have attended NO zoom sessions.

CROCS! Oh there is hope out there somwhere. Now I know there is!

Thank you! (Hope the next interim is not so long!)

Honestly, it took me a second to realize that his written “Hi. Me LARRY.” would just be a quiet image to the other people there. Because to me, it was as much of a spoken line as the rest of the strip’s dialogue.

Finally some crocs!!

CROCS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah crocs!! Has anyone else noticed the croc’s heads look like someone’s bottom? Coincidence or on purpose??? Hmmmm

To crocs, this Zoom business is a crock of…

First of all, “Social Distance” IS a noun phrase: “Maintain social distance,” etc. It’s also used as a verb, although it’s probably more common as a noun.

And if your problem is that you think it’s not a noun, why would using it as a noun have ANYthing to do with using the noun “car” as a verb? The car analogy would argue against using the noun phrase “social distance” as a verb.

I was listening to a podcast and the participants were talking about a zoom conference they had where one of the guys had put a picture of himself as his background and it took them over 45 minutes to realize he wasn’t really sitting there.

Reminds me of continuing education courses attorneys are required to take, like sexual harassment, bias, substance abuse …

Any day with the crocs is a good day!

they got it right for once

Hello Larry. (As if anyone remembers that show.)

more crocs…more crocs…repeat,repeat,repeat.

What kind of class does Larry take?

and since they live in a cartoon world, the written speech does not look suspicious, though it may be suspicious that it appears through the whole meeting

Often wondered if Larry is in any way related to Ralph Bakshi’s Larry. “Master love Larry.’ ’Master FEED Larry!”

Is that what classmates look like. I only saw backs of heads and heard voices from behind me, till the yearbook. University, the same thing except for labs.

Wow, how can he be in two places at once?!

An ideal class for Larry. It look reelistic, but he can’t harm anyone, and no one can harm him.

And, he can drink beer during class!

Pastis reveals a flaw in online learning that will ruin it for everyone.

Love Crocs!!

that is awsome larry, ima do the same thing.
