I may be kinda drunk, but this is still subpar for pearls. You can do better.

Moral for Larry: Never send a Bob to do a croc’s job!Please, don’t laugh at the Man-Een-Funny-Pants. I had a pair of pants like that back in the ‘70s, and I’ve never committed golf.

Reminds me of when Bill Murray was arrested in Stockholm for driving a golf cart down the street.

Yeah, I mean, it’s sad if comics have people dying and it’d stop people from reading, so they just make the character come a live again later on. That way, everyone’s happy. :)

I won’t call a golf cart the biggest truck ever!

You know, a smart Croc, or Gator, would just sit in the water trap waiting for the guy in the funny pants to come by looking for his lost ball.Oh. Right. SMART Croc. Never mind.

These are crocs, not gators. Crocs have never seen little white balls or man in funny pants. Maybe funny headdress…

Maybe Bob should have gone golf ala carte?
smoore47 over 12 years ago
Not funny at all. I hope you don’t mean what I think you mean.

One will need funny pants to run across highway, too!
Varnes over 12 years ago
Hey, what do you get when you cross an expressway with a big bag of bowling balls? Run over…..
Varnes over 12 years ago

I love Bob’s golf apparrel. I’ll have to find myself a hat like that.

It is funny reading the older stuff in the Treasury editions (which fans would all love for tje cpmments Pastis adds) the crocs used to be harsher and eat more often.
Number Three over 12 years ago
Yes, Give him the cart back, Croc!
I would hate to see what he would do with that golf club.

Canook Crocs. At least, Bob’s hat looks that way.

I think “Pastis” is a genious!!! But, from some of the responces that I’ve read, (??)
His readers are “a little less”….

The crocs speak in broken English, which is probably what crocodiles would speak if they could talk. Your interpretation of it as Afro-American probably stems from the fact that someone added those awful Jamaican accents to the crocs voices on the web animations. Personally, I’ve always pictured the crocs as sounding more like Frankenstein’s monster or Cookie Monster rather than Jar Jar Binks.

The looks on the Crocs faces are… never changing?

Seriously . . . Man-Een-Funny-Pants needs to get this on video . . . a crocodile driving a golf cart would go viral with millions of hits!!!

I actually tried popping a wheelie in a golf cart once. No luck there, but when I suddenly put it in reverse immediately after the failed attempt I nearly gave myself whiplash. Would have been fun to soup it up, who cares what the golf course says. The cart was the only fun thing about the place (actually, aside from mini golf the cart is about the only fun thing about golf in general) and I would have loved racing carts over the greens and fairways.

Just keeps. Bobbin along…
