    I’ve been wishing for croc strips for a while now.

    Arrgh! Life for cartoon-Pastis! And how humiliating, to be replaced by the most unfunny, boring single-panel comic ever created! Li’L Guard Duck and Mr. Snuffles: you’re needed!

    Well, he’s in California. Take the verdict to the 9th Circus Court of Appeals. . . it’ll be overturned in no time!

    I hope that semi-militarist duck will help Mr.Pastis break from the prison.

    L’il Guard Duck will blast a hole through the prison wall, and Snuffles will be waiting in the getaway car.

    I hope beyond hope that this strip doesn’t turn into a running story line. They are BORING and who has no life that they can keep up with a story that runs for months? Stop being Mary Worth!!!

    As fresco milne said, I hope this doesn’t mean the strip is ending altogether.

    I am sure that Stephan has something up his sleeve to save himself and the strip. I have personally liked this story arc, but do miss the crocs.

    Guys, since this is happening in the strip, the next strip could be the crocs eating everyone in the courtroom.

    I honestly wish a cat were introduced into the character line up. An intelligent one. Not like the crocs, please. If not intelligent, at least feral, and wily. Yeeesss, a crafty feline. Ready to pounce at a moments notice. Humm. Nevermind. I just got an idea for a strip.

    Strip is still great, comments section has become a home for trolls and political commentators. I miss comics.com more with each week.No wonder so many of the old regulars are disappearing.

    I keep telling myself, it’s just a comic, it’s just a comic, but I keep thinking, never a more obvious case of incompetent representation.

    Soooooo… all this for a run of Croc strips??? LOL! Well, whoever said Pastis was conventional? ;-) Of course… I hope this won’t be permanent and I hope we’ll still see the whole silly gang… won’t we? :’-(

    Shouldn’t his strip be replaced by Two Cows and a Pig … I mean, Chicken!

    Has anyone heard if Pastis is hanging up his pens? I would doubt it. Can’t imagine him going back to business law. Hope LGD blows his way out of prison or as a lot of these guys do, he’ll just move on to another plot…6 feet under.

    wait a minute…in the “pluggers” panel, is the cartoonist saying the crocs are stupid? he’d better be, because the strips certainly aren’t!

    Stephen say it isn’t so! File an appeal, bribe the govenor, get JayLo to go on a hunger strike until you are exonerated, draw yourself a large file and a getaway Segway…. c’mon you loser, make an effort!
