Transcript:
Crocodile mom: Larry... Larry the Croc: Whuh you want, woomun? Larry busy proving he can shove entire butt into beer mug. Crocodile mom: You're parents are here. larry the croc: Harder den it looks.
It HAS to skip a generation. That’s the only reason that two intelligent, rational parents could possibly have produced a son who’s that much of an idiot, yet have a daughter-in-law and a grandson who both should be in MENSA.
I’m waiting for Zebra to meet Larry’s folks. Oh sure they may try to catch him and eat him eventually (unless their really like Junior and are vegetarians) but I bet first their willing to sit down with him and dicuss things in a civilized manner without it being a blatantly stupid attempt to fool him into letting them kill him.
After they laid the batch Larry was in, Larry’s parents should have abandoned the egg mound. Left em to the racoons. If you know there’s a ‘bad egg’ in there, there’s no shame in crocodile society for leaving it.

maybe Larry did a few too many drugs in his adolescent years.
Ottodesu about 12 years ago
Ok, it may seem weird to ask this, but why is everyone walking around nude, except for Larry’s parents?
rusty gate about 12 years ago
Larry must have been kicked in the head by a hippo when he was young.
Sisyphos about 12 years ago
I wonder if Larry really does have sense enough to be embarrassed? Ma and Pa Croc can’t be completely unaware of how stupid their son is!
orinoco womble about 12 years ago
Woomun look like Betty Rubble wit dat hair.

Nobody seems to have noticed that Larry is not only doing something stupid, he’s also wrong.
It CAN’T be “harder den it looks.”
It’s got to be SOFTER “den it looks,” if you can squish the whole thing into a beer mug.

F6FHellcat, man, that’s a great idea……I bet they would get along fine…sittin’ around, drinkin’ beer, watchin’ Bob die over and over again….
John Falstaff about 12 years ago

JoeStrike about 12 years ago
Hey, at least Larry isn’t trying to shove an entire beer mug into his butt…
PICTO about 12 years ago
I sure Larry’s parents are regretting the fact that they didn’t eat him when he was young.
SwimsWithSharks about 12 years ago
Can’t tell if serious…

Joe Biden – backstage at the political convention.
BicycleDude about 12 years ago
Great absurdist humor, and it’s even better in color than in my cheap daily paper!

I think I was at that party.

It would be easier to see the expressions on their faces had their glasses been see through.
Jeffpaul about 12 years ago
Shakespeare wrote this same scene 400 years ago.
Sherlock Watson about 12 years ago
Will this experience cause Larry’s behind to smart, or just make it smaller? In other words, Butt Wiser or Butt Light?
GoodQuestion Premium Member about 12 years ago
I heard that Larry’s brother was an only child . . . ☻
Gokie5 about 12 years ago
Good one, Sherlock.

Popeyesforearm about 12 years ago
That’s funnier that a barrell full ’o Larrys!
tazz555 about 12 years ago
It wouldve been funny if his mom said “Dont worry, we’re used to having Larry be the butt of jokes”
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 12 years ago
Lovecraft and NotATroll…. gwarsh…thanks… I think…It’s kinda scary if it means I’m catching anything Stephan has…cos as far as I know he’s incurable.
Maybe he and I could possibly have a couple of the same screws loose…. eek.LOL
rgcviper about 12 years ago
OK. This is a serious case of “T.C.A.R.” (That Croc Ain’t Right).
Made me laugh, but more out of absurdity, and pity for Larry.
Seriously—where does Pastis GET this stuff?
TxWireman about 12 years ago
The crocs keep this strip going.
