Transcript:
Zebra: What's with the sign? Croc: Me is support Newt Geengrich for Pressydent. Zebra: What for? Croc: Newts is fellow reptile. We is dominate world! Zebra: Newts are amphibians. Croc: Politics so disillusioning.
If I was as dumb as the crocodile, I’d say Romney is a baseball glove. (Boy, do I hate it when I see people on Yahoo! Answers ask about newts, salamanders, frogs and toads under the Pets category’s sub-category Reptiles.)
In the pet-related industry, they are very usually all listed under reptiles. Everything for frogs, newts, salamanders – all under reptiles. A thriving frog scene at the reptile shows.
Croc is right to be disillusioned by politics. It is the favorite pastime of haters and bigots of all stripes (sorry, Zeeba Neighba) and denominations.
No, Mitt is the amphibian, always changing to fit his surroundings, whether he’s in a moderate state or trying to get the mainstream conservative American vote.
Yeah, a miniature Newt Gingrich was eaten by the crocs a while back. He lived in a terrarium, and as I recall there was a joke involving the neutering of pets.If Lady Shades views this, I’ve continued our polite conversation on yesterday’s strip.

For once (last panel) a croc says something intelligible/ intelligent.

Why you should choose your candidate with your cerebrum, not your lizard brain.

Newts may be amphibians, but the one we’re faced with now is a slithering snake if there ever was one.

Turtles are reptiles, too. So what about coalititioning with a snapping turtle?

I hope Pearls doesn’t start making political comments … it’ll just be one more strip in a growing list that I’ll quit reading.

His Newt Estimate wasn’t translated very well.

Was this foretold in the Newt Testament?

A reference to the "Newtered’ Strip?

BTW, if you’ve wondered where I was for the last month, my 10-year-old computer finally died, and it took this long to get a new one.
