Transcript:
Penguin 1: Check it out, Polar Bear. We penguins have gotten smarter. Now we stand in one big column. That way, we all stay as far away from the edge of the ice as possible. Penguin 2: We've had better ideas.
“Smarter” penguins, but even smarter polar bear. Yummies lined up like a shish kebab! Would the term “shake your booty” be applicable (since they are bear’s “booty” in the pirating sense)?
yes, polar bears and penguins together are a problem because everything else is based on logic and reasoning in this comic, like a golfish that walks, pigs, crocs and zebras living in houses, rats the size of a pig, animals talking… stop me when you get my point
“Has Stephen Pastis still not realised penguins and polar bears live on opposite ends of the planet to each other???”Pastis is well aware of the penguin/polar-bear phenomenon. See the Sept. 6 strip.
Oh no! Do not eat your little penguin friends Mr. Polar bear. You all should be living in harmony and working with Al Gore to save your habitat from Global Warming!!!
Has Stephen Pastis still not realised penguins and polar bears live on opposite ends of the planet to each other???:Have you still not realized that this isn’t a nature documentary???
What would happen if the Zebra’s attacked the penguins? The Zebras are too dumb to catch anything, and the Penguins are too dumb NOT to get eaten. I think it would create a paradox that could destroy the known universe.
The bear was not really doing much more then the crocs until today to show he was smart. Zebra would of seen through it. So Penguins vs Crocs I would have to think that the if the Penguins moved in next to the crocs that the women would of died and the husband penguin would of survived there also.

They should have taken lessons from the lemmings; those little furballs really know how to stick together.

Well, at least they’re still not as gullible as that female penguin was.

Talking animals okay, incompatible to natural environment not okay????
jmartin1955 about 11 years ago
The only strip where the comedy is in having animals eat each other – hilarious.

Why aren’t there bears and penguins in the polar region? The strip tells you: Because there are bears!
jbmlaw01 about 11 years ago
You know how to dispose of a polar bear. You cut a hole in the ice, and put 25 English peas around the ice.
