Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 27, 2021

What exactly is in those M&M’s that the crocs want Zebra to eat?

First word dat came to mind because dey already kill Squirrel, and now dey want to kill Moose.

Why am I not surprised the crocodiles didn’t mistake them for W&W’s and/or 3&3’s? (You know what else begins with M, crocodiles? Moron. Because that’s what you are.)

Well, Biden said he’d never take Trump-advocated vaccines, which are what we have today, thanks to his advance purchase contracts. So he probably took the M&M vaccine, since it’s not a Trump vaccine..

Google FDOP and you get Federal Bureau of Prisons, which is where the crocs belong.

Your little scheme flopped, Crocs. Now vaMoose!

Turn it 90 degrees and call it an “E” for elective treatment or another 90 degrees and make it a “W” for (Wuhan) or maybe “Whoops” (you made a mistake)

The crocs aren’t even trying anymore. Maybe the hunger is causing their minds to slip… which would explain why they didn’t just eat the M&M’s instead.

Looks like a crock of crap!

And the real answer is?

Croc Power !

Moderna

Just hope they didn’t come with a Mercedes, cause they don’t pass the moose test…

I don’t even wanna know what kinds of M&Ms those are.

The funniest part was “Federal Department of Pills.” Ranks up there with Department of Redundancy Department.

YAY!!! CROCS!!! YAY!!!

Anyone else notice the big error???

Larry and Bob have switched positions in the last panel, since it’s showing them from the other side of the window.

ZEEBA! OH How I missed thee…..

Next week the crocs are going to say they made those pills at the University of Science

Mantle and Maris?

“BURMA!”

Stephan, when you flip the perspective like that, you need to flip their places. Croc A on the left should now be on the right.

Maybe Bullwinkle will fall for their schemes…

Should have closed the window on their snouts.

There should be a rule governing the minimum number of croc and zeeba appearances per month.

microchip

Another COVID vaccine scam?

LOL

Peese MORE Zeebuh/Crocs cartoons. And what happened to Guard Duck?

I at first thought they were jelly beans

It was actually zeeb-Newton’s, Larry croc’s business idea. Nabisco ripped him off.

Sure beats getting a shot. Or two.

Weeks of rat and goat, more crocs PLEASE !!!!!!!

Bulwinkle approved

Those weren’t M&M’s.

I know people who would fall for that.

The M&M’s are just to get the door open.

I’ve missed the crocs! Great to see them.

@Stephan Pastis

While it is true, Steph, that you goofed in going to the outside view, consider how much better your drawing is now compared to how you started. And, as Bill Watterson once noted, this is still mostly a ‘talking heads’ strip.

Truth in Commenting Statement: we admit we have been reading your strip for years. :)

Thank you for placating Bruce Shopsky (@Imaginarium) and the rest of us who like to see a few more ‘crocs’ gags scattered among your ‘social significance’ and ‘woe is this pandemic’ on the funnies pages. The FDOP reference was hilarious. Did you get a ‘product placement’ contribution for the Mars reference? :)

Check again, I am sure that is a bowl full of W & W’s.

Good to see the Crocs again. I thought maybe they became purses or shoes or something.

Love the Crocs. A nice releif from Pig and rat… Please. Yes I spelled releif wrong to honor Larry.

I thought that were little Ws! :-)

You asked for “more Crocs”? You got ’em.

Now I need a heavy dose of brain stimulants, ’cause the Crocs have drained my Smarts like draining a car battery by leaving all the electricals running….

I would settle for some M & M’s, though….

I think M&M’s only have one M on them!

. . . and the Zeebas are back too!
