I bet Larry confuses his fellow reptile the horned toad as an amphibian if you know what I mean.

Sing along with Sherlock: “They tell us that we lost our tails, evolving up from little snails…”

And this is Larry on only his second beer (by count of cans visible)! For the love of Evolution, Junior, get Freddy out of there before he becomes a victim of Unsocial Darwinism!

I wanted to say something … but I can’t remember… it’s 3 AM (!) and my brain has gotten froggy…
Before I go I do want to say thanks to Taz (Bruce?) and Willi Nilli for kind words yesterday….
BTW, Taz, I know this site has problems…. but, you mentioned pop-ups.
If you want to see it with ZERO third party ads, pop up or otherwise….to me, it’s worth my $11-something a year, which works out to 3 cents a day, for Pro membership.All I see is a banner for a new comic strip or book. Much as I’d love to support newsprint, I can’t afford the 75 cents a day now, or about $150 a year, for my local paper… which, anyway has FAR fewer strips and no forums… and more ads than news.

“Devil Frog” – sounds like a minor league sports team. “And now, ladies and gentlemen, here are yooouuuuur Devil Froggggs!”

A lovely parody of the way people treat Jews to this day. Nice work, Mr. Pastis.

You know it would be really funny if the Croc was right for once and tomorrow the frog turns into a demon…

Religion in a microcosm. If you understand it, God did it. If you don’t, Satan did it. Simple ignorance.

Beelzefrog. Say it 3 times and Michael Keatons career is reborn.

The croc was educated in Tennessee, where creationism is taught alongside the “theory” of evolution.

Simple people are easily pleased. The corrupt ones become wrong-wingers…the pure become saints. Or are so already…
“Come on, you little devil…show us you horns…” Hallelujah.Romdum for President, put Moroni back in the White House.

Oy. First, evil Zeeba torments the Crocs. Now, his devil cousin, amphibian, is angering them by dissing their religion. You know what’s gonna happen – Croc will eat amphibian and it will all be Zeeba’s fault!

7th grade. Someone made a big deal out of the mating patterns of frogs on the discovery channel being shown on the projector.
