Ahead of my time. “Meester Zeebachev, tear down thees wall!” Four days ago. Of course, now I can’t say I didn’t see this strip coming, though the beer cans are a nice touch.

In all honesty, though, you could see that one coming from the far side of the Milky Way…

Zeeba Neighba’s serious expression and tone in panel 3 are a hoot! Unfortunately, Larry is no President Reagan. The wall stays up. “Good fences [or walls] make good neighbors.”

Snuffles needs to inflitrate the crocs and take them down from the inside. Shouldn’t be hard. Just need a few 12 packs of beer.

Sure, Reagan recycled. He took old movie plots and turned them into historical memories.

If he was near the crocs, then we could say “PIg bin ein Berliner”, as we used that name for a type of compound sausage like Deavon. Anyway, I am waiting for an American jam donut to make an appearance.

For the record, Kennedy’s statement was both grammatically and idiomatically correct. A quick internet search can tell you that, as can any good German teacher.

I like the wall. It’s even nicely drawn. I bet it’s pretty solid, too! Too bad the crocs aren’t rock climbers. They could set up some gear to scale the walls!

If the crocs are going to fight with politics, then they should contact the zoning board!

Of course the wall Reagan was referring kept the Zebras &Goats of East Germany from escaping the Crocs running the place.

Time to use some assertive diplomacy, Zeeba; get the boiling oil ready.

Larry doesn’t deserve to be tarnished with the same brush as the man who conceived Star Wars and “trickle-down” economics.
ttownfeen over 13 years ago
I can’t believe that anybody hasn’t made any comments about Mr. Korba’s chef and his “WHAAA!”?
