I wonder if he’s worked long enough to collect unemployment?

Where did Larry’s tail go? It showed outside the costume in his home.

Hey, I thought it was funny. Just because the tur, I mean kids, didn’t think so, is that a reason to fire him?Yeah, I suppose it probably is.

Ah, so it’s now a story arc. This will probably end badly…. for Larry. All his story arcs seem to end badly for him.

The saddest thing is that Larry is more funny than some other clowns in parties I have been invited

Funnier than a kid in a punch bowl.

I can’t speak for others but I’m sure I will never love them. And by turds Larry is probably ranking on them as third graders. I guess dad was expecting Mr. Clown to pass out participation trophies.

As a teenager many, many years ago, I worked summers as a ride operator at an amusement park. They had a mid-week promotion called “McDonald Days” where they’d bring in a Ronald McD to give out coupons, ride with the kids, do photo ops, etc. I was running a ride called the “Trabant” that spun and tilted. If you timed flipping the control switch between “raise” and “lower”, you could set up a mechanical resonance that resulted in the riders being alternately subjected to 2G and 0G (which produced some interesting results in teenaged girls, I might add – ah, the days of tube tops). Needless to say, I bounced the bejesus out of Ronald, who puked all over a group of kids. Good times.

That bought back memories, my old brother used to call me little turd in 193… how sweet it was!
Ermine Notyours over 9 years ago
Too many kids were pulling or stepping on the tail.
Bucinka over 9 years ago
I don’t see the problem. Blondie, there, asked Larry, I mean clown, to say something funny, and he said something funny.PS@Plumbob Wilson: I like the way you think.

Larry had a tail on July 19th so Stephan must have forgotten to put it in today. Main thing is though, its great having the crocs back.
grassler over 9 years ago
Man. I hate clowns
ralanyon over 9 years ago
More crocs!!!!

Did he just sneak “turdpuncher” into the strip?
Sherlock Watson over 9 years ago
Parents probably hate this strip, since they keep telling their unlovable turds that they’re “special.”

I didn’t know they would allow that word in commix. (Funny, spellcheck likes “commix” ok, but not “comix.”) Well whatever, then.
Number Three over 9 years ago
Being a bit harsh aren’t we, Larry?
I love that kid’s hairdo (yellow shirt)

SP has jumped the shark with this one. I’m no prude, but the use of that “T” word is out of place in a family newspaper.
NWdryad over 9 years ago
Ah, perhaps we are seeing a bit of SP’s childhood here…

Hey, Mr. Panel 3 Buttinski! Let Larry do his thing with the little turds before your PC intervention!
rgcviper over 9 years ago
OK—this one made me laugh.
But why do I feel like a bad person for saying so … ?
Andrew Bosch Premium Member over 9 years ago
Wasn’t there a song about clowns like this by Ogden Edsel?
SukieCrandall Premium Member over 9 years ago
LOL! Croc tails are big, green and meaty, so it is easy to spot when they are missing.I love when the crocs are used.
Hath over 9 years ago
They ARE all unloveable turds.
