Larry wants a coup but I think he’s getting an AMC Gremlin hatchback.

Oh, have another beer, guys; then, have an Ugliest Hat contest. Then have another brewski. Then maybe you’ll be ready to hatch a really crocking coup-plan!

Bob is needed. He has a nice hat.

Bob should be glad if Larry doesn’t want his help. If he can stay away from Larry, there’s a chance he won’t be a pair of crocodile boots by sundown.

Didn’t Bob die last week and the week before that ?

The joke Pastis has told is that it’s Russian. I think in reality, it’s just the way the male crocs talk because it’s funnier. It might be an ableist joke because the smarter crocs don’t talk like that, but that’s another discussion.

Let’s give Crocs a break, they are always irritating to me, and the least funny party of this strip.

Count De Monet – Sir, the peasants are revolting!King Louis – You said it. They stink on ice.

Stephen is a very funny writer

Old Funky Winkerbean comic when the band students rebelled: “Mr. Dinkle, the trombone section is revolting!” “Yes, but they’re trying.”It’s an ollllllld gag, but still a good one – and compared to some of Pastis’ puns (“The third time’s a cha arm” :) ), pretty mild.

Bob’s hat is somewhat reminiscent of Johnny Carson’s Floyd R. Turbo character.
jakspigot over 13 years ago
the accent is crocese. Stephan mentioned in one of his treasuries

Personally the crocs are the funniest part of this strip. Cant stand rat! Love the guard duck tho!!
Sherlock Watson over 13 years ago
Larry’s right; he doesn’t need anybody’s help to be revolting.

Ah, man! This is going to be a looooong week!
Firebird67 over 13 years ago
Well, yesterday I looked at the strip and thought, on one side of the coup we have two defenseless nerdy kids, and on the other an adult crocodile. This being Larry, my money is on the kids. Now that I have seen the coup crew I think I want to double that bet.

This one makes me laugh every time I see it. Yay crocs!
jakspigot over 13 years ago
the only characters better than the crocs are pig, and rat

Bob the Canadian Crocodile…
firedome over 13 years ago
which brings me to the point…just how do the crocs (other than possible accents) tell the difference between each other?
fmasroor over 13 years ago
New face? All of the Crocs have the same faces.
Woushka over 13 years ago
Why does Bob get a bigger glass of beer than the Vice President Larry?
SWREDHEADF over 13 years ago
I have never in my life laughed at a comic…smiled, maybe, but never laughed. I was laughing like crazy at this one!
