Transcript:
Larry: Whuh you think you doeeng?! Zebra: Building the wall higher. I should have done this years ago. Larry: But you hurteeng our relashunsheep. Zebra: Relationship? You just kept trying to kill me. Larry: Try to focus on da gud times.
@Cesar Didn’t Pastis already do a “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” pun? I’m not 100% sure, but I thought he did. I do appreciate the first panel… nice to see Pastis expand his art portfolio with newer perspectives.
I envision the wall just getting bigger and the perspective smaller until it forms a QR code in each panel that directs the reader to another page where the actual comic resides.
You’re probably the only one on here making this connection… (I probably would have, but the whole thing confuses me, so I’ll just nod my head and say, yes, definitely, just so I can look smart… :))

You mean like, how good it’ll be to look at this wall — instead of you?

I love the perspective in the first panel, Zebra looking down on wide-eyed Croc.
Sisyphos over 13 years ago
Love the perspective in today’s strip—both visual and social! Larry looks SO small!

Why am I picturing inept Crockydile paratroopers and bungling Bob bungee-jumpers crash landing head first into Zebra’s future?

There’s gotta be a Ronald Reagan joke coming at some point.

Does that wall extend all the way around Zebra’s house? Probably doesn’t matter if it doesn’t, as the crocs would be too stupid to walk around it.

Tall fences, Good neighbours!
TheAlmightyOne over 13 years ago
Yeah. Love the first panel. The big eye/small eye is not just about distance. The crocs really have different sized eyes!

Happy Birthday, Berlin Wall (* August 13, 1961)!

Poor croc. He should sue. Anyone know where he can find a lawyer?
Lodda over 13 years ago
@Duke Douglas:Peanuts crossover? Maybe Snoopy will fill in.
Lodda over 13 years ago
@SusanThe paratroopers won’t make it on the zebra side because nobody thought of telling them that the wall is higher now.
