GO GUARD DUCK!i cant wait till it gets to todays strips where he pulls grenades!

That’s why jojo isn’t in other strips. Gee crocs die quickly

“larry” the croc has died about 5 times

Eight.

lol how did he do that

Steal rats beer for every time a croc died (about 8934838498)

What a coinkeedink

dead crocs #12 and #13

9 tombstones

now the police are after him for murder too

A pretty clear double killing. It’s entirely possible that Guard Duck went for the crocs John-Wick-style and slaughtered them all, given the dubious amount of skin he’s selling, but there’s no hard evidence for a number other than two. Thanks to Sooploosh for providing way more detail than I needed on the manner of killing. | Eleven dead crocs | 1, Vern by asphyxiation: https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/04/19 | 2, Mrs. Larry by heart attack and/or divine justice: https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/05/13 | 3, Uncle Tim by murder (unknown weapon used by unknown croc): https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/05/19 | 4, Skippy by murder (shot with a shotgun by unknown croc): https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/06/16 | 5, Lou by murder (shot with a revolver by unknown cousin): https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/06/23 | 6 & 7, baby crocs by swallowing (eaten by Debbie, double kill): https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/07/10 | 8, Cousin Jimmy (or Jeemy) by choking (on antelope bone): https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/07/12 | 9, unknown croc(s) by swallowing (eaten by Fat Fred) https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/08/02 | 10 & 11, Jojo and Larry by shocking, spinal trauma, brain trauma, and blood loss (performed by Guard Duck, double kill) https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2005/10/14 |
