Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 05, 2012

Don’t worry, Mr Croc…you’re all herps.

One of the crocs ate Newt Gingrich a few years ago … “Like McNugget, but not as tasty.”

His dream lies in pieces at his feet.

ther croc has it right, this time. newt is a reptile…

If I was as dumb as the crocodile, I’d say Romney is a baseball glove. (Boy, do I hate it when I see people on Yahoo! Answers ask about newts, salamanders, frogs and toads under the Pets category’s sub-category Reptiles.)

And next we’ll hear Newt’s kids being accused of being eft wingers.

Especially the legless ones that strangle their dinner.

Pond scum be pond scum

Reptiles are loveable. I am thinking about startng a reptile petting zoo.

For once (last panel) a croc says something intelligible/ intelligent.

Actually the Croc was right for a change and the zebra was wrong. lol

@ doublepaw: be sure to reserve and register your new moniker early – pawless…

Why you should choose your candidate with your cerebrum, not your lizard brain.

Not typically a fan, but this one was well written

In the pet-related industry, they are very usually all listed under reptiles. Everything for frogs, newts, salamanders – all under reptiles. A thriving frog scene at the reptile shows.

Newt is a croc.

ow guys,fail!

Croc is right to be disillusioned by politics. It is the favorite pastime of haters and bigots of all stripes (sorry, Zeeba Neighba) and denominations.

Newts may be amphibians, but the one we’re faced with now is a slithering snake if there ever was one.

Turtles are reptiles, too. So what about coalititioning with a snapping turtle?

Nice

No, Mitt is the amphibian, always changing to fit his surroundings, whether he’s in a moderate state or trying to get the mainstream conservative American vote.

Where’d the wall go?

Touchwood, toads will get in…

I hope Pearls doesn’t start making political comments … it’ll just be one more strip in a growing list that I’ll quit reading.

Yeah, a miniature Newt Gingrich was eaten by the crocs a while back. He lived in a terrarium, and as I recall there was a joke involving the neutering of pets.If Lady Shades views this, I’ve continued our polite conversation on yesterday’s strip.

His Newt Estimate wasn’t translated very well.

Was this foretold in the Newt Testament?

A reference to the "Newtered’ Strip?

BTW, if you’ve wondered where I was for the last month, my 10-year-old computer finally died, and it took this long to get a new one.
