Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 21, 2024

Don’t bother me! March Madness is about to start!

“Speed, cunning, and strength”? Is this her first time meeting Larry?

Why not just call KFZ. They deliver.

I think the Zeebas are probably plenty safe with Larry on the hunt!

“Call me ‘woomun’ once more, Larry, and you’ll be all out of hours.”

Larry is the alligator who Beaver and Wally had. Hee alw groad up

Yay! – The Crocs are back!

Crocs!! My favorite! Thank you, Mr. Pastis. I realize you hate the crocs, but they make so many of us happy.

Good to see the Crocs are still as challenged as ever.

Larry has beer. Why does he need a zebra? Especially since a zebra would probably just drink Larry’s beer. Wooman should get her own beer.

Good to see Larry back in a daily strip. I look forward to all the hate filled comments about it though :)

Miss these guys

Larry is sort of like Rat sometimes!

Happy for the return of the crocs.

Yay, Larry!

I’m surprised he doesn’t already have a gun. So many others seem to have them readily available….

He can also start hunting goats. Or pigs. Rats don’t feed a whole family, though. But rat with a bit of Pastis should be a nice dinner. :D

No woman no cry. Or in this case, no hunt!

“Peese shut mouf” makes a return!

The big news in my neck of the woods is a 4’ gator caught in Norris Lake in north east Tennessee. The consensus is that someone released it there. Caused quite a stir.

Excellent strip today, Mr Pastis!!

Woomun need to learn to cook wif beef from market, not zeeba dat need hunt.

Except then they’ll call her hamburger Patty.

Larry Capp or Andy Croc?

Oh Larry, you don’t need a gun—you’ll shoot your eye out!

I love the crocs.

I think they’re hilarious and don’t reelly want to know why people get angry about this series.

Croc genetics stopped with Larry.

I’m always happy and relieved whenever the crocs are here. It’s kind of tedious seeing Rat abuse Goat, Pig and Stephan every day without much variety.

I love how the woman speaks properly and her words are spelled correctly. Happy Women’s History Month!

Larry, for the umpteenth time, GET OFF THE COUCH OR ELSE!

Larry is a little short in the cunning department.

Excellent!!! MORE CROCS PLEASE!!!

zebras are a pain – there’s a easy to catch Pig next door.

If this had been reality, she would have knocked him into the middle of next month after that “shout mouf” remark. But at least he said peese.

Crocodiles are ambush predators, they do NOT use speed to hunt.

Hard to believe these 2 are married, given the disparity in their speaking styles

Woomun could get the gun. Couch cleared and dinner’s ready.

Being an ambush predator, Larry is ambushing from the couch.

Pride

Yeah, Larry’s back. Years ago I was getting an autograph from Mr Pastis at. BEA in NYC and he asked about my favorite character. So he signed a quick caricature of good ole Larry. So cool.

I’m pretty sure they just lie in wait and ambush zebras at watering holes, don’t they?

But he would need a river. Not very “speedy” otherwise

After reading comments I’m happy to see fellow crocs fans sounding off. I’ve followed strip since 2005 just for crocs. I’ve never found Rat or Pig the least bit funny.

He hates them when they cross his river without paying the toll. Besides that, are they white on black or black on white?

Speaking of ‘gators, did you hear about the guy in New York who raised one from a hatchling to 11 ft. and 750 lbs. He had renovated his house about 175K to accommodate it. It was taken from him but, he has a petition to get it back. I’m going to stay tuned for the results.

At least he said “Peese”…

$22 for an 8 piece dark extra crispy. Larry is going to have to not work 2 jobs.

He didn’t tell her “after a while crocodile?”

Crocodiles and alligators like to be mistaken for logs, so this one is true to self bump on a log

I always enjoy a visit from the Crocs

I wonder whom Larry is going to vote for.

Larry has neither speed nor cunning.

CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS, CROCS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, crocs also don’t live in a house, drink beer, sit on the couch, or wear wigs. Also YAY CROCS!

Pastis should stop doing the crocs just to avoid the 10-12 people who post basically saying nothing but “Crocs!”.

Ducking…

I like the crocs, but it’s as annoying as people saying Ziggy has no pants or “B.C.” and “Wizard of Id” have anachronisms. Well, gee, thanks for letting us know. :-X

Doggie likes this cartoon cause ally gaiters tawks same landgwich as doggies.

Why does Larry always have to hunt zebras? She’s a crocodile, too! Step up woomun!
