Transcript:
Penguin 1: Honey, I've carved a hole in the ice so you can fish without having to jump in the water and confront that polar bear. Penguin 2: I sense a flaw in your plan.
THERE’S something you don’t see every day in comics – the airhead female pays for her own stupidity instead of her long – suffering male.Well played, Pastis! If I wore a hat I’d tip it to you!
Sometimes the Fates are kind and things work out as we feel they should! Bear is fed, Honey is free! All’s right with the world, and we can move on to some other arc!
If the female penguin is an maths genius and didn’t dug the hole’s size bigger than the polar bear’s head, her plan would be an brilliant one. In fact even human use the same method for fishing in antarctic ocean expect they know how to use a gun if an polar bear really attack like what is shown in this comic strip!
Nor do they talk in real life. But since it is a cartoon, who really cares if they interact? It just isn’t important to be that picky about a comic strop for crying out loud.
All the people who can’t handle penguins and polar bears in the same hemisphere: One of you, when this arc began, suggested this is an exhibit at the zoo! I’d say, take the zoo and run with it!.Of course, lacking a Judge Doom, I’m pretty sure the toon will be back tomorrow…
at the first of this strip I didn’t even realize the whole penguine polor bear thing (which I did know) untill pastis hit rat for mentioning it (which i loved and want to see again)
Polar bears live at the north pole (arctic) and penguins live at the south pole (Antarctic), they never really interact. Go back to the crocs. Funnier.

I’m surprised he didn’t say:“I sense a hole in your plan.”
We all know Pastis loves puns, even bad ones.

I still say all of this will turn out to be a nightmare, no penguins at the north pole and no bears at the south pole.

I think Pastis is a misogynist. All female characters are b!tches in his strips. Just saying…

Penguins rarely talk or use hand saws either. If you are going to be a stickler. It’s almost like it’s a comic strip or something.
