Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 07, 2011

I agree with Bob.

U face leetle bit ugly, but U breath could make Pig barf.

Larry wants a coup but I think he’s getting an AMC Gremlin hatchback.

Oh, have another beer, guys; then, have an Ugliest Hat contest. Then have another brewski. Then maybe you’ll be ready to hatch a really crocking coup-plan!

Bob is needed. He has a nice hat.

Bob should be glad if Larry doesn’t want his help. If he can stay away from Larry, there’s a chance he won’t be a pair of crocodile boots by sundown.

Didn’t Bob die last week and the week before that ?

The joke Pastis has told is that it’s Russian. I think in reality, it’s just the way the male crocs talk because it’s funnier. It might be an ableist joke because the smarter crocs don’t talk like that, but that’s another discussion.

Let’s give Crocs a break, they are always irritating to me, and the least funny party of this strip.

COUP D’TAT!Can’t wait to see how this works out.

Lol, nice. …but politicians are supposed to be revolting.

Count De Monet – Sir, the peasants are revolting!King Louis – You said it. They stink on ice.

Gee, nice hat, Larry.

Same here Nicky, I got a good chuckle today!

Stephen is a very funny writer

Old Funky Winkerbean comic when the band students rebelled: “Mr. Dinkle, the trombone section is revolting!” “Yes, but they’re trying.”It’s an ollllllld gag, but still a good one – and compared to some of Pastis’ puns (“The third time’s a cha arm” :) ), pretty mild.

Backroom politics exposed!

Larry have new eemportant meeshun in life—besides just staying alive, dat is. And Bob ees not helping.~~~~~~~~~~Maybee Larry need new mug—Bob’s?

Uh-oh—I just went back to yesterday. A half a dozen posts after mine—and all are spam.Anyone want to join me in a flagging spree?

Change of Larry’s facial experssion…MOST EXCELLENT! =^..^=

One of my favorite compic strips! LOL! Love the crocs!

I totally agree with you starlilies! I also love rat.

Bob’s hat is somewhat reminiscent of Johnny Carson’s Floyd R. Turbo character.

the accent is crocese. Stephan mentioned in one of his treasuries

Personally the crocs are the funniest part of this strip. Cant stand rat! Love the guard duck tho!!

Larry’s right; he doesn’t need anybody’s help to be revolting.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

Coming soon: “I tawt I taw a coup d’etat!”

Ah, man! This is going to be a looooong week!

Well, yesterday I looked at the strip and thought, on one side of the coup we have two defenseless nerdy kids, and on the other an adult crocodile. This being Larry, my money is on the kids. Now that I have seen the coup crew I think I want to double that bet.

This one makes me laugh every time I see it. Yay crocs!

the only characters better than the crocs are pig, and rat

Bob the Canadian Crocodile…

which brings me to the point…just how do the crocs (other than possible accents) tell the difference between each other?

New face? All of the Crocs have the same faces.

Why does Bob get a bigger glass of beer than the Vice President Larry?

I have never in my life laughed at a comic…smiled, maybe, but never laughed. I was laughing like crazy at this one!

Still my favorite Pearls Before Swine strip. This one is the one that made me a reader.
