This is an aw-inspiring strip. I read it once and went, “Awwww…”

Good thing Larry didn’t call it “Club Myself”; with his capacity for misunderstanding, it would have been disastrous.

Awww! Junior is so kind to his ineffably stupid dad, Larry. Very touching just a few days ahead of Father’s Day!

Fortunately, the box isn’t big enough to take on any more new members.

That was great, but Junior is one of the most interesting characters. There’s a lot to him.

They should get some club shirts. Maybe a polo with a croc on it.

I’m not sure this is such an awwwww strip. It looks like Junior’s comments went right over Larry’s head.
Dirty Dragon over 13 years ago
Well – I was going to link back to a cute Fathers’ Day strip with Larry and Junior from last year, but it looks like the archived strips from the merge have vanished.What’s up with THAT???

I love when Pearls gets sentimental. As long as Pastis doesn’t overdo it.
BananaSlug over 13 years ago
The crocs usually make me smile, but it’s usually a snarkier smile.

Are all the soft drinks considered “Club Soda?”

Larry always has that special relationship with his son! So nice of Stephan to keep one constant.

If you do more than one or two of these a year, then you run the risk of being called Family Circus -Stephan Pastis

These guys remind me of Quincy the Iguana.

This soooo reminds about “Ant and Ardvark”, where Ardvark is running after the Ant, wielding a large piece of wood, shouting “Ant, I’m gonna make you a member of the club”
