Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 28, 2023

Andrews McMeel Publishing does not accept any responsibility for the actions of Stephan Pastis or those claiming to represent him.

It’s the short version of “The lawyers are coming! The lawyers are coming!”

It means he just lost his shirt……

“Send lawyers, guns and money…”

You can use cartoon physics to save the shift manager.

Hey Steph, let’s share your drugs. The less you have is better

Crocodiles doing book signings and eating the book store manager; the comic artist arrested and jailed for breaking Federal laws against possession of marijuana on a commercial flight. Where does Pastis come up with these Croc-Pot ideas?

It means you are the father

Barnes and Noble is still in business?

manager must have been wearing a zeeba striped shirt…

Crocs in Sacramento??? Now that’s a crock.

Bob finally successfully hunted?!?

It means this story arc is far from over.

All shift managers are noble, but what’s a “barnes”? (And why can’t pig conjugate a copula?)

I thought the crocs were inept beyond ineptness!

Especially Larry!

Could you imagine the crocs at sporting event with the officials wearing striped outfits?!

Nice to see the Crocs get a mention here, but hopefully they’ll actually make an appearance soon.

Could be worse. Billy Keene Aged 7 could be filling in for Stephen.

It means that either you or Stephen is gonna take the blame for whatever stupid things the Crocs does!

Will Stephan ever be safe?

Yes.

The good news is that if the shift manager was swallowed whole, he can be spit out whole. Comics physics applies.

This is phoney. Crocs don’t swallow things whole. Pythons do that. Crocs chew up their food before swallowing it.

BOOK EM DANO!

With the crocs, this was bound to happen.

That is one heck of a book tour…

I thought this book tour story line was just a piece of fiction for the strip. I just found out that it is a real tour, and Pastis was at Changing Hands in Tempe, AZ two nights ago. 5 miles from my house. Dang, I would have liked to gone to see him.

The Crocs? They barely get any “screen time” nowadays. Bring them back! Bring them back!

It’s not called “dope” because it’s good for you.

Yeah, Pig should have known better than to have the Crocs fill in for Pastis at the book signing.

I miss seeing the Crocs

Sure it is! Ours in . . . either The Town of Tonawanda or Amherst, I think the later because it’s confusing, is a hotspot! It does have a little cafe though . . .

Poor Stephan….his fate is in PIGS hands?

((((((((((( G. A. S. P. )))))))))))

BURP

Legally liable for swallowing a bookstore manager is just one extra day in the slammer

No matter … one less Capitalist won’t be noticed. Now on to the lawyers.

A book store manager who’s stupid enough to be caught by a croc?

See today’s “Non Sequitur”.

We still have them in Wichita, Ks.

Can’t tell if this would have been worse with Rat. Discuss.

I am puzzled. If the crocs are still alive, what are my crocs shoes made out of?

Pastis has graduated from possession to cannibalism.

Close, but no cigar. The times are out of joint.

“Anyway, just thought I’d cheer you up, Steph! Steph? Hello, Steph, are you still there?”

Details.

it’s another way of saying years… in jail

Good Crocs! Please, eat more Managers. And Politicians too.
