Transcript:
Dolphin 1: Let's get inside the crocs' house and eat them. Dolphin 2: We'll need a disguise to fool them. Dolphin 1: Fool the crocs? Dolphin 2: Yeah. Dolphin 1: HI. I'm not a dolphin. Larry the Croc: Me beleeve you.
Oh, no! The dolphins are going to exterminate the crocs! It will be genocide, unless maybe Patty and Junior can save the hides of their intellectually-challenged relatives!
Hmmm, these Dolphin/Croc storylines seem like a reverse rehash of the Zebra/Croc storylines. There the Crocs are constantly trying everything to eat Zebra and failing. Including disguising themselves so as to get into his house (best disguise fail I think was Santa Claus when Zebra lit the fire in the fireplace as the Croc disguised as Santa tried going down the chimney). Here the reverse is true, the Dolphins try everything to eat the Crocs and succeed. Including disguising themselves to get in the house.
There are sooo many interesting questions posed by the presence of the dolphins . . . How much does their sudden appearance disrupt the neighborhood food chain? How did the dolphins get their smiley-face tank setup in the neighborhood in the first place? What sub-species of dolphin is this that can freely walk around on dry land, use hammers, and turn on Enya cassettes? How can the dolphins be smart enough to verbally entrap numerous victims, but not know that Groucho glasses are the most instantly recognized fake disguise on earth?
In an Upcoming strip… the dolphins will be strapping on magnetic explosives and going after enemy submarines- maybe they could work as “civilian contractors” for the guard duck…

If the crocs say the magic word, will Guard Duck come down from the top of the frame and give them a prize?

Would disguise still work if they said they’re porpoises?

I’m enjoying seeing the crocs get it, but these dolphins are turning out to be pretty evil themselves.

The dolphins are the new crocs. It seems like we are moving up the food chain.
