Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 22, 2024

Larry will just have to get used to sitting by himself in the dark.

Larry just lost the light of his life. Also his wife.

Larry will miss Junior if Patty gets custody of him.

His wife traded. bright lamp for a dim bulb!

Me luvs doze crocs. Dem makes me laff.

He’s gonna miss her when the dirty dishes start piling up.

The lamp is a lot brighter than Larry.

Today’s cartoon would be funnier if I knew that they didn’t have a child.

See ya later, alli….

nvm

it’s all a croc anyway

But it was worth it.

… and she can turn it on.

The lamp can brighten her day.

Maybe Larry will see the light, and maybe not!

Oh dear…now who is going to fetch his beer?

Why lamp when ya gots swamp, Croc.

There may have been a genie in the lamp

Eh, she’ll come back. She always does.

It’s smarter to miss the lamp than someone who leaves you. You can get another lamp. And now you’re free to do as you please without naggy b.s. Enjoy!

I’m sure it’s been mentioned in the past, but I’ve just noticed that their noses look like little extended faces.

Reminds The Count of One of The Count’s Favorites… “My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend (And I Sure Do Miss Him)” ~ Wayne Carter

Brad Paisley’s I’m gonna miss her, aw, lookie there, I got a bite

Yea! Crocs!

Laugh out loud Crocs today!!! MORE PLEASE!!!!!

poor Larry and what about the kid?? he is off to school and has been MIA for a long time hope Larry didnt eat him

It was a cordless lamp, too.

What a croc…

LOL!!

Honesty sometimes hurts.

Don’t assume that when a woman leaves a man they are going to another one. Often that’s the last thing she wants in her new life

I’m suprised it took this long even with junior.

Love those crocs.

This lamp. And this ash tray, paddle ball, remote control, and these matches!

Hooray! We is got Crocs today. They make my day.

Dead Dog Blues

Gotta get a new dog, gotta get a new dog,

’Cause my old dog died in the middle of the night.

Wasn’t much of a dog, but I miss him so.

Gotta get a new car, gotta get a new car,

’Cause my car got stole in the middle of the night.

Wasn’t much of a car, but it sure beat walkin’.

Gotta get a new house, gotta get a new house,

’Cause my house burned down in the middle of the night.

Wasn’t much of a house, but it kept out the rain.

Gotta get a new jug, gotta get a new jug,

’Cause my old jug broke in the middle of the night.

Wasn’t much of a jug, but I sure need a drink.

Gotta get a new bed, gotta get a new bed,

‘Cause my bed’s too cold in the middle of the night.

Wasn’t much of a bed, but I sure am tired.

Gotta get a new girl, gotta get a new girl,

’Cause my old girl left in the middle of the night.

My old girl left in the middle of the night, drank all of my booze then broke my jug, jumped out of my bed, burned down my house, drove away in my car, and run over my dog.

Wasn’t much of a girl, but I miss that dog!

CROCS!!!!!!

Wouldn’t be the first time she’s threatened to leave his sorry butt.

Chorus from a long ago (and/or possibly imaginary) country song: “Mah wife run off with mah best fren, an’ I miss that fella so!”

Reminds me of the old country song: “My wife ran off with my drinking buddy, and I sure do miss him”

Crocs yea!! Few and far between these days.

More like she and the lamp are running off together.

Larry, you can buy a new lamb. A good wife is hard to buy however.

And, do not eat our babies this time.

Is she really leaving him or is that just a bunch of croc?

Larry enters a dark world.

Good for you, lady. But what took you so long? And why did you marry him in the first place?

Took your favorite Dodger’s hat!

Left the litter, but I took the cat!

Loaded up the TV in the back of my car!

Have fun watching the VCR!

- SheDaisy

Oh No! Who is Croc going to turn on now? Oh, yeah, right…

They stayed together for the sake of the polliwogs

Larry, It’s hard to find your beer in the dark!

The last panel clearly shows that Larry had no use for her anyway.

Back to the frat bro life style for him. Until the house is condemned and burned as a health hazard.

He’ll miss the lamp more? That’s not good.

It was only a matter of time.

Crocks!

My first laugh-out-loud for the day — at 10:48 PM.

She left out one important reason: The lamp is BRIGHT.
