Transcript:
Mother Croc: Larry, I have some big news for you.
Larry the Croc: Whuh? You set too much meatloaf?
Mother Croc: It's a child, you idiot.
Larry the Croc: You eet child?
Larry and Patty going to have another kid? Hope this one’s as smart as Patty and Junior and not Larry.
Also, Patty’s back to the Marge Simpson hairdo? Thought that was nixed in favor of the Thelma Keane look cause large hairdos interfere with in-depth speech bubbles. Look at the third panel, If Patty were to say anything more her hair would cut it out.
I was just mentioning to the missus a day or so ago that we hadn’t seen the crocs for a while. I guess I’m psychic…or psycho…I can never remember the difference.
Oh, and folks seem to have overlooked the fact that reptiles, crocs included, don’t grow hair, either. But perhaps that red stuff Patty has on her head is a wig-hat.
I am reminded one time of a conversation I heard between two women.“My daughter is pregnant.” One says.“How did it happen?” the other says…..Yes she said that.And the discussion began……

@agedengineerMy psychic power is to suddenly think of a movie for no reason and then find out it’s on tv a week or two later.

I hate it when the opposite happens….when you politely congratulate a woman on her pregnancy only to find out she ’"eet" too much meatloaf.

Crocs also usually have a clutch of eggs, not one at a time.

So that’s why we haven’t seen the Crocs lately. Larry’s been busy getting busy!
I wonder if the new Croc will be more like his Dad or more like his Mom/Brother. It would probably be funnier if he was a dumb as Larry.

Hair – internal gestation – bipedal – when did crocs become mammals?
Sherlock Watson about 9 years ago
Well, it was a wonderful croc-free run, but all good things must come to an end. [sighs]:What I’d really like to see is the return of Sweet Fanny.
davidlwashburn about 9 years ago

That’s a veritable pregnant pause in panel two.
