Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 06, 2020

I’m not shocked that Larry doesn’t know that Crocs are not made crocodiles. I am shocked that this the first he’s heard of Crocs, a company founded 18 years ago.

pure perfection

Crocs at last! YAY.

At least Larry’s family isn’t moving because Larry thought his fellow crocodiles were being made into purses, but that’s alligator.

For the first two panels I did not see a joke coming. Humans are horrible critters.

You can buy cowboy boots made from ostrich or crocodile skin.

Took me to the last half of the third panel. Because crocodile skin boots.

And let’s not get started on Hush Puppies.

Yay, the crocs! I love them so much. Great use of the current trend of making fun of crocs.

Not to worry. Zeeba neighbor doesn’t care much.

The new thing is python cowboy boots. Get rid of an invasive species and get a good looking boot at the same time.

Well, humans do kill crocs for their hides, ya know.

Larry is right for the wrong reasons, which is a step in the right direction for him.

Larry you are always good in a different way ! … Croc Power !

Be like Pig Larry, he has learned to live with his family becoming pork products.

It puzzles me how something so universally reviled and mocked has remained popular this long.

YAY!!! CROCS!!! YAY!!! (And i DON’T mean those butt-ugly shoes, either!)

That’s silly, Larry. We don’t kill you for shoes. We kill you for purses.

Stop killing ducks to make duck tape!!!

I recently just moved into a smaller apartment. Stupid rent raising.

Larry scared…..run Larry, run, see Larry run, see Larry run ….ER wiggle fast….

A rare but welcome appearance by the crocs! More please!

Who’s going to tell his family that there ARE shoes made of.. well…

Here you go. Crocodile leather shoes. The page is in Italian. Larry, maybe you don’t want to move to Firenze. https://shop.calzoleriaharris.it/index.php/en/shop/offerta-cocco/mono-fibbia-in-pelle-di-coccodrillo-9195rsfm-detail

The Crocs are back! I’ve missed them.

Sheesh, first time in 2020 to finally see the crocs. Come on, Steph!

Finally, a Croc arc!

I wonder wht Larry things about Lacoste

First of all, thank you Mr. Pastis for a “CROC” day! Don’t know what we croc fans did to deserve it, but keep them coming. Greatly in need of more!

It has been much too long since the Croc family made an appearance!

They probably won’t be accepted till they learn to blend in, first by knowing our lingo.

CROCS!!!!!!!!!!

Does this mean a certain disgraced celebrity chef moved in next door?

Crocs; the only possible way to make feet even uglier.

I’m also shocked that he has never heard that humans actually do make shoes out of crocodiles. And purses, and boots, etc.

Didn’t Larry’s wife leave him? I wish we could have seen what caused the reconciliation.

Pastis must have found out that Brian Crane got free Crocs for doing some strips about them a few years ago.

Tastes like chicken.

Would you like some gatorade with that, sir?

Larry no fool!

Love crocs, here and on my feet…not so much the real crocodile shoes tho.

Crocs are tricky…. spelled like that, but it’s pronounced ‘dorks’.

what about alligator bags?

I thought he was talking about crocodile skin boots and stuff…

If I had a million dollars, I’d buy you some Crocs (but not real Crocs, that’s cruel).
