Transcript:
Larry the Croc: Hey, zeeba. You like cooking wid gas or charcoal. Zebra: Well, that's the great debate, isn't it? But I suppose I'd have to say charcoal. Larry the Croc: Gud. Geet on grill. Guy never cooperate.
Did Larry deliberately engage in wordplay?! Or was that just Pastis seeping through Larry’s permeable persona? In either case, Zeeba Neighba is too smart to fall for it: he might get burned, otherwise!
Gas since the charcoal they sell in stores isn’t true charcoal. The food tastes better than with that fake stuff sold in stores. There was actually an investigation in the 90’s that showed the charcoal brickets are mostly road tar. If I use charcoal at all it’s left over from previous fires where the wood didn’t completely burn up. Then I know there’s no road tar in it.

I’m amazed Larry was able to put on that chef outfit so quickly.

Zebra should know better than to engage Larry in conversation.

Shouldn’t his apron say “EAT MOR ZEEBA?”

Touché.

In recent times the strip often lacks a joke, but the readers do a fair job of stepping up!

You’d think that after all his experience with those crocs, Zebra would know where that was going.

I know crocs are dumb, but c’mon, CHARCOAL? Might as well just eat the briquets, won’t taste any difference.
