From drying him out with a blow dryer to kissing him, a poor frog just can’t win.

I don’t remember, and yes, I’m too lazy to go back through all the strips to find my answer, what did the frogs even do to Larry? Wasn’t it just because amphibians aren’t real reptiles, or something? Is that how the frogs are ruining the neighborhood?The crocs have more issues than I thought…

“Fore Sayle”? I didn’t know Alexei Sayle played golf!(And I’ll bet I’m the only one here who thought of that.)

This is a really funny way of dealing with seriously real issues that still exist.

Careful, Larry… you could find yourself arrested as a frogophile.They’ll search your computer…. and if you have any pictures of tadpoles…

Susan, yeah, what ever happened to the Comics Code people anyway? Strait jackets? Yeah, kinda creepy. Like a “health” film they would show in middle school as a warning…..BTW, I think Jr.’s in catatonic shock!

Yeah, pucker up and give Larry a big wet smooch. Probably be just like the Disney twist on the classic “The Frog Prince” fairy tale back in 2009. Larry becomes a frog, that would be interesting.

Sisyphos…. ahhh…. but it’s the appearance of wrongdoing that gets you in trouble….will he be in court, trying to explain….“It not MEE combewder … it wife combewder…me no even LIKE tadpoles…”.??
And Varnes, yeah… very instructional…Freddy is demonstrating “Always tell a grown-up if someone makes you uncomfortable.”
Except he’s telling Junior, instead of Larry, cos Junior’s more mature.

On the other hand if Larry should turn the amphiban into his next meal, Larry might croak..

Doesn’t the frog realize that he can eat him in one swoop?

We need to end the blatant discrimination against all bi-habitat, trans-formational (BHTF) individuals.

Uh…Larry, you are NO prince charming (or princess either)…
Bill Chapman over 12 years ago
If I actually believed that Bob was smart, I’d almost think that Prank Day from Big Nate had somehow bled over into Pearls…….

Considering that an Amphibian is an animal that is at home in both land and water, technically Larry is talking about himself
