Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 27, 2012

So, what happened between Larry getting on the zoning board to have Zebra’s fence torn down and this suspicious picture. Zeeba wouldn’t get near Larry. I think a plot is afoot. I hope LGD had a hand in this.

Mebbe hees troo strypes r shoing!

Actually I think a conspiracy might be in play. Even if Larry has a smart phone with the “share to facebook” button how could Larry use it ?

I suspect rat. And I wonder the status of Zebra….

CORRECTION:

Mebbe hees tru stripes ees showing!

Apparently all the dumb crocs have to do to get close to Zeeba is offer him a few beers! Ahh….beer and a snack!

Duff beer? Alcohol, the cause of, and solution to all of life’s problems.

It might not be the familiar Zebra. It could be another from the herd. The story update says ‘a zebra’. Either way, Larry is exceptionally screwed. It’s worse than his ninja outfit that got bleached white.

No ands, ifs or badonkadonks…..Larry ees een beeg trubble.

…must be the wrong beer!

Nothing left for him to do now but take the honorable rout and commit seppuku.

CORNBREAD!!!!

Um, never mind the zeeba question. In frame #1, there are two windows and a door upstairs. THe top of the door is lower than the two windows. In frame two it’s 3 windows and the one in the middle is slightly HIGHER..? Do the Crocs have a magic house?

I can confirm from personal observation that Larry is well and truly screwed: that photo has gone viral on the soshill meedia site! Better find a BIG tree to hide behind and drink yourself into a stupor, Larry! Mrs. Larry and Junior will disown you!

That bumping COULD be accidental. The zeba could have been drunk, too.

That banner must have cost a lot!!!

Either of you guys own a straightedge? The top of the door is neither higher nor lower than the windows. This is merely an illusion due to the color of the door in the first panel and the top of the balcony being lower than the roof in the second panel.

@Mechanic

Round up the kids and try again! But first get one of them to explain the difference between “hole” and “hold”. Touche’

Since the door is on a “bump out”(not in the same plane as the windows), all it takes to be even with the windows is a change of perspective, which is obviously what happened.

Can anybody on this site spell? Sorry, guys, the pills haven’t kicked into my badonadonk yet. Hey, Larry, give me one of those…

to answer Alun Rundle’s question, no the crocs do not have a magic house. a third croc came out the door and stood on the balcony.

Marcus: Dump your beer on the picture! Get back at them!

Chibi-Robo: I wonder what Zeebra has to deal with right now.

@MechanicYeah I know what you mean. You can spell it correctly and just have the wring word entirely. Darn stupid computer!No harm done to me. I just thought you may have been coming down a little hard on the original recipient.See ya in the funny papers!

That is so humiliating.

Poor little Croc!

@ Alan RundleYou are seeing the top of the now opened door in panel number two.

Oooo. A scandal to keep him off the zoning board? That’s pretty good! Humm. If this was real politics, it might help him get ON the zoning board.

Brings to mind the time in college when a frat boy snuck in to the Soroity next store , found a camera . Dropped his drawers and his friends took his picture. When the sisters got the film back they photo copied it and posted it all over campus. LOL

Poor larry. I doubt he is even smart enought to have a smart phone, let alone use it.

Never mind the door’s position, how did they get the banner outside the house for all 3 gators – in separate windows – to hold?
