Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 10, 2021

Croc’s version of the book is probably far more enjoyable than the one Zebra is reading.

It seems that Zebra doesn’t like Croc’s version.

What an awful book club! What will they cover next, Twilight?

Zebra should force Larry to read that book; it would serve him right.

That’s the Barbara Cartland Book Club.

I thought the only “prey” Larry could catch was a Big Mac.

good try, Larry

Larry hates vegetables.

Zeeba is vegan. Larry hates Zeeba.

Punctuation is so important.

No Croc, he was reading “Eat, Pray, Love” and NOT “Eat PREY, Love”! ;D

Perfect

This feels like an old strip that Pastis dug out of his archives. I wonder if he ever intends to bring back Zebra and the crocs on a more regular basis.

I was going to join a book club, but they don’t read comic books.

Larry says “The family that preys together, stays together”!

Zeeba neighba must be preying, er praying for Larry to get lost.

Well Larry looks like you got your "Curtain Call " ……

Crocs! Larry! I meez uze.

Haven’t seen Zebra and croc for many months

The’re Back!

YAY!!! CROCS!!! YAY!!! ZEEBA !!! YAY!!!

Crocs are back!!!!

It’s great to see Zebra again.

Finally! Zeeba!!!! It’s been too long! Croc gets message….

Oh wow new characters

Our token crocs and zebba, available every 3 months or so.

Nice to see one of the Croc’s. It seems like it has been a long time.

Me eat prey, too. Steak is good.

Welcome back, Zebra & Crocs! I missed you.

The croc’s literature selection seems much more entertaining.

For some reason, it always looks to me like Zebra’s yelling when he talks to the Crocs.

Q. What do you get when a predator domesticates the prey for personal consumption? A. Consumerism.

YES!!! FINALLY ANOTHER CROC STRIP!

Are the Croc lovers happy now ?…hell no, let’s all bitch about how they aren’t around enough.

The panda goes into the bar and eats shoots and leaves.

Club Larry with your book. Best book club ever.

What does Croc know about prey? He never catches anything.

I haven’t seen Zebra since May. I wish he and the Crocs would appear more… at least more than once every three months.

Reminds me of the classic with two lions on a bluff, looking out over the African plain. One of them says, “Let us prey”.

At the risk of encouraging more puns – this one was actually clever!

Hooray Earl the croc is back!!

Zebra is one of my favorite characters and it’s always fun to see him

Zeeba and Crocs!! More of this please!

Perfection!

Look like, too.

Why do zebras cross those rivers anyway?

Thanks for bringing the zebras back. Funny comic today.

I hope Zeeba’s book includes advice on staying out of the water.

I’ve never eaten zebra, but have eaten crocodile. Larry may want to be careful what meeting he gets invited to.

A panda’s day:

“Eats shoots and leaves”

If you already live the life, there’s no reason to attend meetings to learn how to do it.

Eat prey, Love.

Got to love Larry :)

Crocs love eat prey.

Now that was truly an LOL moment for me. Thanks, Stephan!

Larry speaks in a different font, just like Moe in Calvin and Hobbes.

I’d tell Larry to go watch the Julia Roberts movie, but he’d probably still not get it.

Hooray!!! The crocs are back!!!! Hope they stick around for awhile.

Yea, some Croc humor…

Croc Power !

Croc always has a much more tasty and cruncy way of interpreting things.

Panel 4: Big understatement, Larry!

Good one, Stephen!

Maybe Larry Croc is smartening up, just a little. He seems to have got the message this time….

Love Zeeba and the Crocs the best!!

Wow—the Crocs and Zeeba. It’s been a while. Good to see you again (as others have said).

Finally. More Crocs – less sad, contemplative Pig.
