Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 17, 2020

Umm… Larry… you just passed up a chance to have zebra for dinner.

Duh. Larry can’t see anything past his own NOSE.

Larry forgot to add the fee . Lucy Van Pelt would never have made this mistake .

Is “Larry” spelled correctly? Did he check his birth certificate? One of my aunts was surprised when she applied for a job and realized that she spelled her name differently from what was on her birth certificate.

Always nice to see Zebra and Larry again.

Ha ha! Good to see the crocs again. Also, this is the first time i’ve seen a strip before its supposed to have come out.

Nah… just one man knows. And guess what? It’s Tony Chestnut!

Larry had better have his son on speed dial.

oh, the wonderful play on homophones

What silliness lurks in the pen of Pastis? The SHADOW nose!

Unknown to Larry, he comes off more like Sgt. Shultz.

Larry nose nutting.

Larry nose but does not tail.

CROC POWER !

Offer world brilliance in all subjects. Except for Englees.

With his Nose service, Larry want To Serve Zeeba. It’s a cookbook!

Eet Zeeba all reedey. Crocs feenly ween.

Ahhh, no 2020 blues; Pastis’ finally gettin’ funny again!

Nose-ledge is hard to come by.

Zeeba neighba goes “bah”!

YAY!!! CROCS!!! YAY!!!

I love this cartoon, and especially the crocodiles.

Long time no see, Zebra!

What is “knows”? I nos nose that word…

Advice to Larry: “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS.” ― W.C. Fields.

This is one of those bad ones that when it goes in the treasury, Steph will write something like, “I did this during the holidays when fewer people would see it. It is just bad. Please look away,”

Dumb ass off the hill?

Oops. Larry spoke in caps. Crocs usually speak in lower case.

I have students who spell worse than that!

Larry offer world his brilliance on all subjects except spelling and grammar.

Darn those homophones.

Sometimes a runny nose.

Hey! Watch it!

ZEEBA is on vacation…..

Hi Larry, see ya tomorrow? Im guessing not

The homophone was obvious in the first panel.

This strip needs more Larry.

First belly laugh this week! Stephan needs a spin off strip with the Crocs, Guard Duck and Snuffles!

Hey Larry! Trump’s Elite Team is always hiring! Seriously, they got a revolving door. Proper spelling is not a requirement.

Larry nose best!

I feel bad for Larry. He can’t seem to catch a break.

well, this is better than listening to idiots on Twitter, I guess.

the damage is not as far reaching.

I thought this was something along the lines of “Sandy Claws”.

Larry admitted a mistake, unlike others who think they know all.

Guess its true they have a brain the size of a walnut.

Larry’s nose knows, for Larry’s brain cannot be bothered with all this nonsense.

Larry, I think you got it right the first time.

Yay, Larry is back!! Love the crocs…

Zebra neighba and Larry in the same strip. YAY!

CROCS!!!!! MORE!!!!!!

Funny, but too true!

Why does “brilliance” so often look like crazy? Asking for a friend…

It is good to have Larry with us today even if he is his usual obnoxious self.

You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends. You cannot pick your friend’s nose.

Considering the number of people blogging, influencing, etc. – Larry is late to the party.

Having Croc & Zebra together again is small sun ray of joy

Did you know that a Zebra is the largest size you can buy?

Can’t wait to see where this goes.

We would also have accepted “Larry’s nose.”

Hmm… Zebra not in last panel.

Did Larry eat Zebra?

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Zeeba Neighba.

Remember when Zebra was a main character? Now we see him less than Guard Duck.

Wow. Wonders never cease. —Larry Croc taking business advice from Zeeba Neighba?! Maybe Larry does have some brilliance to share….

The Mandalorian is unavailable for comment this time. Please check back later.

Are there any “good” starts with Larry…but we love him.

Isn’t it spelled ‘knose’?
