Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 20, 2019

Contrary to other kids might do, Junior should never discuss his homework with his father.

Larry is sticking up for his son!

I guess the English teacher detest trying to teach reptiles also.

The word should have been distaste.

“Dis taste beeg waste of Junior’s time.”

“Larry detest education!”

My guess is that the teacher will DETEST the crocodile’s answer.;-D

Detestable! We English teachers too detest the tests!

wasn’t de test of a good wife one of the canterbury tales…?

I’m really enjoying this “use the word in a sentence” format Stephan’s come up with. “Dis be leaf” and “the ol’ factory stinks” are now joined by “de test is a waste” and I laugh every time. 10/10.

Use the following words in a sentence : defeat, deduct, defense, detail.

Defeat of deduct went over defense before detail.

Croc’s Son: “Dad, you need to chomp the head off of our creator for giving you that bad pun!”

I’m sure he does not detest “zeeba” neighbor.

Thank -You Larry Croc for staying true to form ! … Croc Power !

YAY!!! CROCS!!!! MORE, MORE!!!!!!!

PLEASE MORE CROCS!!!!!!!

Impressed he got the apostrophe correct!

Croc is full of…..

WELCOME BACK, LARRY and JUNIOR!!!!

I wonder if Stephan is a Harry Chapin fan. He’s invoked the song “Cats In the Cradle” more than a few times … this one reminds me of Chapin’s song “Flowers Are Red” which could have been written last week, let alone 42 years ago.

Larry is gonna make junior fail detest.

Words are hard.

Oh not true. I had an English teacher in high school that was as far from sad and grumpy as you can get. That, and the fact that she was cute as heck was just the stuff that “dreams” are made of…

Use this word, “demented” in a sentence.

This is why the American society as we know it is a lot more smart-alecky.

Sadly, the teacher does not speak croc-ese.

Trust me when I say that math teachers are even worse.

I wonder if “bunch” is mangled English, and if he meant to use a word with an “i”.

Seville, derdago, tosund buses inarow, nojo, demis truks, summit cowsin, summit duks! Anonymous

Thanks for de crocs

Stephen’s English teacher got a chuckle out of this one.

Oops, I spelled your name wrong. English teachers shouldn’t do that!

Desist, Pastis.

The dog creeped in crapped and crept out

“Yes, yes, we are.”

And some don’t pay attention. I really detested one of my English teachers after I learned just how much attention they really paid to assignments.

How my wife’s former English students will be with their future children.

Larry’s tiny, crippled vocabulary is already way behind Junior’s! He’s also beyond docile….
