Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 10, 2013

Oh, what an *&$%^

Crocs were behind the door when the brains were passed out.

If the crocs say the magic word, will Guard Duck come down from the top of the frame and give them a prize?

Would disguise still work if they said they’re porpoises?

Oh, no! The dolphins are going to exterminate the crocs! It will be genocide, unless maybe Patty and Junior can save the hides of their intellectually-challenged relatives!

Somebody will make this political. I am a-quiver with anticipation.

“Candygram.”

Dum…dum..dum..dum…Land shark!

Quick! Save the Crocs from being extinct!

Hmmm, these Dolphin/Croc storylines seem like a reverse rehash of the Zebra/Croc storylines. There the Crocs are constantly trying everything to eat Zebra and failing. Including disguising themselves so as to get into his house (best disguise fail I think was Santa Claus when Zebra lit the fire in the fireplace as the Croc disguised as Santa tried going down the chimney). Here the reverse is true, the Dolphins try everything to eat the Crocs and succeed. Including disguising themselves to get in the house.

Oh what a crock

I’m enjoying seeing the crocs get it, but these dolphins are turning out to be pretty evil themselves.

sneeky, sneeky feesh. ees not gud.

How Foxy of the Dolphins.

Stupid Croc…. Excellent strip!

Hahahahaha…

“I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception.”

Boy, there’s too stupid to live, and then there’s that.

What Dolphin? All I see is Groucho Marx…

There are sooo many interesting questions posed by the presence of the dolphins . . . How much does their sudden appearance disrupt the neighborhood food chain? How did the dolphins get their smiley-face tank setup in the neighborhood in the first place? What sub-species of dolphin is this that can freely walk around on dry land, use hammers, and turn on Enya cassettes? How can the dolphins be smart enough to verbally entrap numerous victims, but not know that Groucho glasses are the most instantly recognized fake disguise on earth?

I just love those dolphins!

Hey, I LIKE the crocs! If they’re all gone, who will be the neighba for the zeebas?

Darwin wud be proud . . . ☻

“I have nothing but respect for you — and not much of that.”

i love this

he best be-leavin’

The dolphins are the new crocs. It seems like we are moving up the food chain.

Sing along with Sherlock: “Hooray for Captain Flipper, the neighborhood explorer…”

In an Upcoming strip… the dolphins will be strapping on magnetic explosives and going after enemy submarines- maybe they could work as “civilian contractors” for the guard duck…

I love the Groucho glasses..

The mind of a simple peanut is a terrible thing to waste!

Did he disguise himself on porpoise???

Crocs are doomed!!!

Groucho: Doctor, doctor, I think I’m a dog!Doctor: And how long have you felt that way?Groucho: Not that I think about it, ever since I was a pup.

Hahahaha

Man, that’s one dumb croc!

they could probably fool the crocs without that moustache duisguise thing
