Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 24, 2013

On the way, Jeffzilla stomps through Tokyo and is almost taken down by Hello Kitty.

Well, at least Zebra and Larry are both agreeing on something. It’s about time for that story line to finally end.

Where’s the dotted line?

I want to see just where that island is.

Didn’t the barkeep say, “Don’t worry, we’ll have you out of here on a Jeffy”?

Thank Christ we finally are moving along from the bad vacation theme. So boring. But I suspect Croc will reappear in the hood.

The punster that I am, even I , am ashamed.

Nuts, with all that talk about remoras and sharks, now I’ve got Jimmy Buffett’s “Fins” playing in my head.

Ooo … Zebra got brain!

No, wait … wrong strip …

This is a nightmare of Zebra’s induced by eating bar-be-cued croc, right?

It’s better that being a dream sequence.

Hey, he’s got a Z-bra on his shoulder – doesn’t even need an A-bra.

Yay, Zebra is off the island and the story is over

Poor Jeffy!

“Who brought Zeeba home?”

“Not Me!”

And how him Larry turn back into Croc?

Yes, will we ever get Larry back?

…and isn’t that the most important thing about an island vacation?

Now is Larry’s chance to eat the Zeeba! And how will Larry turn into his old buffoonish Croc self again?

Billy is the ADDHD brother, not Jeffy. No dotted line for this brother …

If all else fails “Deus ex machine”

And I still say that this whole story was better than Lost.

I have enjoyed this whole story line to the utmost. Everyone knows that Zebra has been tripping the whole time, and that he’s actually on a lovely remote island.

Hey, Stephan- did it take just as long to draw the ottoman that pig is sitting on as it did to write up the storyline ? : )

And get a load of that big-screen tv…. NICE!! Pig and Rat’s been doing some serious home decorating while Zeeb’s been gone.

Patty and Junior are in for a real surprise.

Is Rat going to make a bet with his baby bookie on when Zeeba makes it home?

Jeff Ex Machina

Oh, no! The Giant Jeffy approaches! Will Zeeba Neighba be able to warn the world in time for it to cope with this monster? Stay ’tooned!

Wow, Pastis. Is that all you came up with? Billy, really, seriously?? What a let down.
