Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 06, 2012

Yep, definitely adopted…left on the doorstep by a hunch-backed gnome…

Ha, I knew it: his real name is Lawrence! Still, what an imbecilic son Lawrence’s parents have.

Lawrence must just be back from a Buckethead concert; an exceptional guitarist (Buckethead, not Larry).

Pa Croc, you may be right to bail out before dinner! Your son is a example of everything that can go wrong genetically. And all that chicken he speaks of has been on the floor and/or in contact with his butt! Run, Ma and Pa Croc, while you can (extra added bonus: take Patty and Junior with you)!

Hope the chicken wasn’t in the beer mug

Ok, two things here. First, gotta figure Larry’s folks are leaving right away. And second, in that third panel it seems Larry isn’t speaking crocese like the male crocs tend to (well the members of Eeta Eeta Zeeba and Larry do anyway). Yeah he should say “Stay. WE’VE go chicken” instead of “Stay. WE got chicken.” But I’ve heard people in the real world drop the contraction and sound normal. Which is to say they don’t sound like they have a serious accent as if English isn’t their native language. I read the second panel and I’m hearing crocese in my mind, but the third panel Larry sounds like the rest of his family.

Leeroy Crocodile!

I think Larry is a Hillbilly like me.

Must be where Larry’s son gets his smarts.

There’s just no pleasing parents like that, so why bother trying ? I’ll always stick up for Larry.

How’d he manage to get an order of all drum sticks?

This is how George and Barbara must feel when they visit Dubya on the Ranch.

While they might fresh kill their prey, they like to put it in a hole somewhere so that it can age a few days(or weeks). I think that cooked chicken would fit the bill.

Really? I wasn’t that impressed by the Three Stooges “butt in the beer mug” routine.

Hey Dad, give Larry a hit off that pipe.

Quick survey: Colonel or Popeye’s?

LOL LOL!

I’m sure his wife is as embarrassed as the parents are.

Maybe they’ll meet Zebra, and decide to adopt him instead…

Not the kind of impression you want to set, eh?

As I said yesterday …

T.C.A.R. (That Croc Ain’t Right)

The crocs are so much more fun to read than the rat.
