Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 06, 2015

Somebody had a good July 4th weekend.

Larry always listens when nature calls.

I guess seeing the new baby drove him to drink.

darn. I missed one…I never thought about using being drunk as an excuse..

Well, st least he didn’t try lighting fireworks off his head.

What I want to know is whether Mom will also require a translation, or already speaks the language.

Natchure ees wonderfull!

I read about the idiot that shot the firework off his head, too. I don’t know why I’m so surprised. Inventive new ways to kill oneself. He was 22 so there’s a chance he’ll still qualify for a Darwin Award.

Zeeba neighba is safe for the time being.

That can happen over a long holiday weekend :-}

It is also his main belief. He believes he’ll have another beer.

Father of the year, right there

Maybe tomorrow… after some aspirin, and a lot of water and coffee.

Also, this is the second alcohol themed strip in a row. I wonder what’s been going on in Pastis’ head.

Old quote.“If you can’t hang onto the floor, you are too drunk.”

How did he get that drunk on 4 cans of beer?

Yea! Larry’s back!

Yay! The Zeeba hunt is on!

Despite being drunk, I bet he’d catch as many zebras as he normally does.

“Can somebody please move that hill out the way?”

I read that because they’re cold-blooded, real crocodiles can go up to 30 days without eating, no problem. So, they kill and eat one animal, and then they just sit there in the water for the next 30 days soaking up the sun and doing nothing. So, the strip crocs may actually be a little like the real ones.

It’s in Larry’s nature to get too drunk to walk.

Looking for the Silver Lining: at least Larry is being honest with his son. And Junior has already learned how to cover for his Dad with Patty….

Woo-hoo—the crocs are back!

@Liverlips McCracken and c.davies

Actually my comment waqs based on a news article I’d read before seeing the day’s strip and you have probably seen by now. The guy in Maine who got drunk and lit a fireworks mortar off his head, killing him. Larry’s an idiot, but so far he hasn’t seemed that crazy when drunk.

Good to see the crocs back. Wooo hoooo.
