Transcript:
Goat: Looks like one of your neighbors got himself appointed to the city planning commission. Zebra: What's that? Goat: They're the guys who issue permits for any construction you want to do. Zebra: They don't by chance have the right to tear down stuff you build without a permit, do they? Goat: Sure they do. They just bring over the wrecking ball and down it goes. Why? Zebra: If you'll excuse me, I have a wall permit to file for. Goat: Wall? What wall?

It has begun. Goat will nail the planks to the doors and windows and Zebra will get the guns.

Hmmm…..Did another croc just die?

Money grubbing fatcats who rather feed off zoning variances than control predators. After all, predators are also a source of revenue. A true Croc(k) is right. . ..

Surely the croc who is on the ball (!) is shorthand for the croc “neighbor” who now sits on the city planning commission! Zeeba Neighba is in a heap o’ trouble! Maybe the commission will declare his house “unfit for habitation” and so drive him out into their clutches! Gasp!

Uhoh. The crocs are too dumb to think of this. Who’s the mastermind behind Zebra’s trouble?

And here we have the first croc and ball story.

The crocs have breached the wall! They suffered great casualties over many months, but they’ve breached the wall . . .Zeeba needs to quickly construct ad hoc defenses behind the breach, or else retreat to his citadel. He can’t expect to receive the Honors of War. The crocs will be merciless.

I’m sorry, but there’s no way any croc in this comic has enough brains to get himself elected. Humm. Wait. That may explain SOOO much, actually.

A surprisingly subtle approach for a croc. Perhaps the croc gene pool has gained from the culling of crocs named “Bob”?

Anyone else think the panel with the swinging croc will wind up on a calender cover?

Looks like one of the crocs has had a breakthrough. And I didn’t think he had the balls to do it.Seriously, though, I hope the wall gets rebuilt, because there’s still so much fun to be had with it.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷Sing along with Sherlock: “When the walls come tumblin’ down, when the walls come crumblin’, crumblin’…”

Considering what Goat said in the last panel, this plain apparently did work.

As dear old Ronnie would have said: Mr. Zeeba tear down this wall.

I guess this is the previously thought not to exist "another croc in the wall pt. 3
