Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 05, 2012

They must be so proud.

She was impressed by his parents, thinking that Larry would change in time…

Where is he gonna put his beer now?

Wait until he does in Bob. They’ll really be impressed.

Oh, what an imbecilic son Lawrence’s parents have.

It HAS to skip a generation. That’s the only reason that two intelligent, rational parents could possibly have produced a son who’s that much of an idiot, yet have a daughter-in-law and a grandson who both should be in MENSA.

maybe Larry did a few too many drugs in his adolescent years.

Ok, it may seem weird to ask this, but why is everyone walking around nude, except for Larry’s parents?

Larry must have been kicked in the head by a hippo when he was young.

I wonder if Larry really does have sense enough to be embarrassed? Ma and Pa Croc can’t be completely unaware of how stupid their son is!

Woomun look like Betty Rubble wit dat hair.

Nobody seems to have noticed that Larry is not only doing something stupid, he’s also wrong.

It CAN’T be “harder den it looks.”

It’s got to be SOFTER “den it looks,” if you can squish the whole thing into a beer mug.

I’m waiting for Zebra to meet Larry’s folks. Oh sure they may try to catch him and eat him eventually (unless their really like Junior and are vegetarians) but I bet first their willing to sit down with him and dicuss things in a civilized manner without it being a blatantly stupid attempt to fool him into letting them kill him.

F6FHellcat, man, that’s a great idea……I bet they would get along fine…sittin’ around, drinkin’ beer, watchin’ Bob die over and over again….

Larry ween Poolitzer Prize for Croks dis year!

Hey, at least Larry isn’t trying to shove an entire beer mug into his butt…

I sure Larry’s parents are regretting the fact that they didn’t eat him when he was young.

Can’t tell if serious…

Joe Biden – backstage at the political convention.

Great absurdist humor, and it’s even better in color than in my cheap daily paper!

After they laid the batch Larry was in, Larry’s parents should have abandoned the egg mound. Left em to the racoons. If you know there’s a ‘bad egg’ in there, there’s no shame in crocodile society for leaving it.

I think I was at that party.

It would be easier to see the expressions on their faces had their glasses been see through.

Shakespeare wrote this same scene 400 years ago.

Will this experience cause Larry’s behind to smart, or just make it smaller? In other words, Butt Wiser or Butt Light?

I heard that Larry’s brother was an only child . . . ☻

Good one, Sherlock.

Awkward!

LOL xxx

That’s funnier that a barrell full ’o Larrys!

It wouldve been funny if his mom said “Dont worry, we’re used to having Larry be the butt of jokes”

Lovecraft and NotATroll…. gwarsh…thanks… I think…It’s kinda scary if it means I’m catching anything Stephan has…cos as far as I know he’s incurable.

Maybe he and I could possibly have a couple of the same screws loose…. eek.LOL

OK. This is a serious case of “T.C.A.R.” (That Croc Ain’t Right).

Made me laugh, but more out of absurdity, and pity for Larry.

Seriously—where does Pastis GET this stuff?

The crocs keep this strip going.
