Now that was unexpected. How’s he going to get rid of Larry Keane?

Good news: Zebra got something to eat on that miserable, little isle. Bad news: he’s still on the miserable, little isle.

It also would have been funny if he came back as a zeeba.But not as funny.

Never thought I’d live to see that! … Hang on … where’s my pulse gone off to?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which is weirder? That Zebra ended up eating Larry or that a zebra is growing a beard?
Sisyphos about 11 years ago
Larry knows he died in comeecs page, so he probably also has read the advance script and knows he’ll be back. —Which even Zeeba Neighba would see as A Good Thing, because GIANT JEFFY IS TERRIFYING!
orinoco womble about 11 years ago
This is better than the giant Pillsbury Doughboy, even. I love that Zeeba ate the croc, but the crocs will never eat Zeeba!

Zebra: “Yipee! Another course!”

Well, stop it. Turn that smile upside down, it’s the only way.

Zebra: “Yipee! Another course!”

You can’t EAT CRAB without cooking it! Didn’t you see Castaway? Wilson ruined the joke for me before we got to the punch line.
ShadowBeast Premium Member about 11 years ago
Now it’s Larry’s turn.It’ll be funny if the two kept killing eachother and Larry end up a zebra and Zebra ends up a croc.

The horror, the horror!

This is actually the second time Zebra ha eaten Larry. He ate him in Larry in Wonderland.
hariseldon59 about 11 years ago
Not much left of the crab. Did Zebra eat the shell, too?
Carl Rennhack Premium Member about 11 years ago
Larry is right for the first time in his life…I mean, LIVES!
Carl Rennhack Premium Member about 11 years ago
Steph’s ongoing feud with “Family Circus” reminds me of the Fred Allen vs. Jack Benny battles!
Chris Kacz about 11 years ago
He’s probably so delirious from not eating that all this Larry business is a delusion. lol

Eat the claw….best part!
Bandera_Ken about 11 years ago
Bravo,Bravo!!! Totally unexpected and well done. Either this strip has improved greatly or my brain has rotted over the last several weeks.

And it begins to become clear Zebra’s horrible vacation is probably going to be a massive dream sequence.

JeffieA giant..JeffieAnd yes,he was molting so a soft shell crab can be eaten shell and all..delicious
papabear about 11 years ago
Stephan appreciated my e-mail to him that he was certifiably insane, but NOW he’s gone TOO far. Even Jeffy should know that it’s pronounced “deeffer”, (see “meestake”).
KEA about 11 years ago
Gee, and i thought it was going to be the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

The circus of life.

I wasn’t aware that Zebras were meat eaters. The The things you learn in the comics are amazing.
handinit about 11 years ago
I’m done with this stupid panel.. Is getting too retarded

zeebra on a lone island is pastis at his best!
vldazzle about 11 years ago
Could not even have digested this fast, much less reincarnated.
pcpatterson11 about 11 years ago
was that jab at Bil Keane really necessary? I guess you can’t teach “class”….
Sherlock Watson about 11 years ago
Since Larry will eventually have to become a croc again, we’ll probably get to see Giant Jeffy get killed! Someone should be selling tickets to this!
Number Three about 11 years ago
Woahhhhhh!
LOL xxx
Dr Lou Premium Member about 11 years ago
My word…this string is continuing to get even dumber. It really is time to move on….
orinoco womble about 11 years ago
No, dear, I meant what I said. Just because we don’t watch the same toons, don’t assume the other person is wrong.
Sheriff Mordecai Premium Member about 11 years ago
As this is the Reuben Awards weekend coming up, Stephan’s jab was well -timed. There will be a clash of titans at the bar.

Oh you are SO bad!!!

The best comment to come out of the Jack Benny/Fred Allen feud was Fred Allen’s comment ‘He was born ignorant and been losing ground ever since’.
vogonpoetry about 11 years ago
Who is that supposed to be?
HankTheSock about 11 years ago
Time for course #2.
codedaddy about 11 years ago
Just when Zebra has lunch hopes, Family Circus will prompt him to lose it. At least Jeffy didn’t bring dead spirits in the sky.
rgcviper about 11 years ago
I always love the comic hybrids.

K M about 11 years ago
Eccccccchhhh! I won’t even eat soft crabs; and Zebra ate a raw one!
dimensioncr8r about 11 years ago
Is this a dream in Zebra’s mind? The whole concept of characters dying only to be instantly reincarnated could have worked in Zebra’s favor in the past. Gonna eat my crocs? Thats okay, I’ll come back as a Lion and eat you guys too! I dunno. This is getting weird.
boreas2 about 11 years ago
uh why i saw him with different colors earlier?
Carl Rennhack Premium Member about 11 years ago
@JR6019—and my favorite comment was when Mr. Allen said to Mr. Benny, “Why, you fugitive from a Ripley cartoon!”
Ambydextrous about 11 years ago
That was quick. Which religion does croc belong to, I wanna sign up.

Apparently at some point I missed huge chunks of PBS. Time to catch up!

I’m going to go with the first one. The other three have grown beards at one point or another and Guard Duck’s one is practically permanent.
