Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 29, 2018

Don’t blame the crocs. Stephan put those words in their mouths.

Just don’t address people by race and you’ll never need to worry about if it’s “proper” or not. And bring da crocs back!

Oddly, I’ve felt it’s been Zebra whom we’ve not seen much of lately.

Always with the insights into society and world events. Though not always printed in a timely fashion.

The horny goat becomes the new croc – oops.

Stephan has been striped of all protections.

The new Croc ssssspeaks almost like the Lizard, aka, Dr. Curt Connorsssss, minus the ssssssspeech impediment.

My favorite PC quote is frm Dave Barry, “You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

It’s not the Speech Police that are the problem. It’s their wives who insist that they keep a lid on free expression, or at least put the seat down after use.

Beyond hilarious!

Come to think of it, where has Lil’ Guard Duck been hiding??

And just where are the speech police when Donnie unloads his irrational spiels upon the world? That last one even left Fox and Friends in agony.

Don’t say croc.

Say counter top electrical appliance for slow cooking through lower temperatures.

We don’ need no steenkeen senseetivity training.

I find the term “white guy” offensive.

I prefer to be called a “person of pallor”.

And when you’re talking to the wildebeest, don’t use the GN-word.

The crocs don’t particularly hate zebras – they find them quite delicious!

Nailed it Stephan!

So now what? Crocodilian-American? Crocodilian-Comicstripian? Reptilian-Pearlsian? The world awaits the politically correct term. We mustn’t possibly be offensive to anyone anywhere at any time.

Love it, love it! Well done, Cartoon Boy!

Pretty much life in the news and social media…and at least on some college campuses.

PC aside, I miss the Crocs!

But if it’s social ostrichism, it’s a case of mistooken identality! Theses crocodials were neverer headyhiderers, and thereses no socialite bone in theirer bodystickings!

I never believe Pastis. This strip is all a bunch of croc.

That’s pretty funny considering Stefan is so anti Trump.

Where’s the problem? When it comes to zebras the rules are pretty much all down in black and white.

plenty of crocs in the library copy of Pastis’ 2017 “Suit your Selfie, A Pearls Before Swine Collection”. um, or from your favorite local bookstore?

Stephan, puleeeezzzzzz don’t send Crocs away. We need them if we’re ever going to learn how to grow thicker skins.

I thought they called him Zeeba Neighbor?

Don’t like the crocs, never read the strip when I see them.

Hey! PEOPLE ALL HAVE STRIPES:

For more detailed info just look up Blaschko’s Lines.

Thank you, Stephan, for showing the Crocs. Please, sir, may I have more?

Don’t worry boys, I’m sure the guys over at Zeeba Zeeba Eeta will let you crash for a while…

its a new buzzword for the left.

The crocs now work in a factory that makes leather belts… :D They now have stripes too… :D

Doesn’t Stephan live near LA, where all those “sensitivity speech” rallies were going on?

Hey! What about this one: http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2018/03/23

Liberals do ruin everything they touch . . .

Right. And why did “oriental” become a wrong term when it never was used derogatorily as many Asians will attest and carries no hurtful connotations. I mean, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is one the best hotel chains in the world…

I DO miss seeing the crocs as often as we used to. They always been my favorite characters. (I always have to try on a “flapped hat” like Larry wears when I’m in a clothing store. Yes, my wife is embarrassed!)

Looks like Goat identifies as a croc now!

OK—good one, Steph. Now let’s see the permanent return of Larry and crew. We can’t be without our “Hullo, zeeba neighba” crocs for too long …

I say feed the Speech Police to the crocs! They’ll do the job. I’m afraid Stephan may have bitten off more than he can chew. Let Larry and the guys get their teeth into it!

Actually, I think the booing crowd is, in fact, booing the Speech Police for firing Larry and the other crocs. Clearly, genera discrimination against reptiles generally and species discrimination against crocodiles specifically, in my humble opinion. All the other major characters are various mammals.

Although not an eagle, I, myself, am bald. But the Speech Police cannot choose between “hirstutely handicapped” or “follicually challenged.” So I pretty much stick with “bald.” It’s easier. I used to add “as a cue ball,” but the SPCBS found that phrase offensive to the non-solid, non-striped, and non-numbered (if you didn’t know, SPCBS is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Billiard Spheroids; donations welcome).

Stripey. Stripey. Stripey. Stripey. Stripey. Stripey. Stripey. —The Seven Banned Words. Carlin had a point.

Down with the Speech Police! Down with the PC Poltroons! Thought Control is doubleplus ungood!

Ironically the character most in need of sensitivity training is absent from today’s strip.

What a total croc…

Um, how does Goat fit into the Croc head? Don’t his horns get in the way?

Funny!

Well that’s a good explanation about why the crocs don’t appear so often anymore. Even ZEBRA has been demoted to a semi-regular character! And what happened to Guard Duck and Snuffles?!? It’s like half the main cast is disappearing!!

I thought it was “Hulloo zeeba neighba”

I’m surprised Goat agreed to this.

Too damm true. Hits close.
