Transcript:
Penguin 1: I have an idea, guys... if we all just jump off different parts of the ice at the same time, we can confuse that polar bear and all get away. Penguin 2: Let's do it! Penguin 1: Go! Penguin 2: I feel kinda bad about that.
Well, at least the bear is doing well in this arc. He’s had two penguins to eat, whole, already, and there are two more dummies on that chunk of ice…. This comic is rated NSFPenguins.
It seems that these penguins are too stupid to realize that they are faster then the bear in the water, but then again the Polar bear doesn’t seem to realize that he’s faster on land.Yesterday there was three penguins and the bear ate one and now theres three again so maybe they come back to life like the crocs.
I do have a question though… Yesterday there were three penguins and one got eaten. Today there are three penguins and one got eaten. Where the #%! do all these @%#! penguins keep coming from?!
@Enoki … They keep flying in since everyone knows Penguins can really fly, they have just perpetuated the lie that they cannot in order to make us all feel sorry for them. Hence the occasional sacrificial penguin so we don’t find out … :)
Basically the lemmings, but cuter.i had a friend that visited Antarctica and kept a penguin in his freezer for twenty years. I kept a stuffed, toy penguin in my freezer for ten years but my wife finally made me get rid of it. Now there’s frozen chicken instead.
Originally, there were two. One was eaten, and three showed up. With a polar watching the ice, how did the three make it onto the berg? Better question, when will the stranded theme stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where the hell are the crocs?!!!!
Okay, the penguins on an ice sheet need to go.It’s lame and it’s lazy!
Reminds me of what happened to Glen McCoy’s Duplex strip when he started promoting Despicable Me 2 minions – after a couple of weeks readers had enough and started unsubscribing by the bucket-load.
Maybe Pastis is too popular to worry about that sort of thing but still… PBS is a fairly decent comic strip. Why ruin it with this puerile drivel!? I don’t know about anyone else but frankly speaking I am this close to signing out for good!
Of course, the two penguins are screwing themselves. WHen there were three, they had a 2/3 chance of escaping if they all jumped in together. Now it’s only 1/2/

Has anyone pointed out that polar bears live at the North pole, penguins at the south pole, oh wait, this is the comics.

Those aren’t penguins! They are just the lemmings in tuxedos!

How did that help the two still there?

OK. I got the Penguin dies every day message. If an Orca was on the scene, maybe there would be one less Polar bear!

@Emmett Wayne—Your comment is the most sensible one I’ve seen throughout this whole routine…Frightening, isn’t it?!?

The polar bear is actually educating the penguins in game theory. Today’s lesson: ‘The Prisoner’s Dilemma’.

More than that… Polar bears are on the opposite side of the hemisphere as penguins. Someone in this is very lost.

I think Stephen King wrote a short story about a situation like this.

Or maybe: “I’d rather pet a polar bear, than dine on penguin stew….” something like that?
