    Old joke::Q. How can you tell when there’s an elephant hiding in your refrigerator?:A. By his footprints in the cheesecake.

    One time, Julius Marx (1890-1977) shot an elephant in his pajamas. How did the elephant get in Julius’ pajamas, we’ll never know.

    It’s about time this strip got a new recurring character. An elephant could be a fun addition. (Especially if he squishes Rat now and then!)

    Over in Okinawa, you have to worry about crows (and mainland Japan as well).

    He even ate most of the research paper that I worked on all semester. Whoever it is, he can really pack a term paper.

    There is only one thing harder than trying to get a pregnant elephant into a Volkswagen, and that is trying to get an elephant pregnant in a Volkswagen.

    TTM… Once again the concept of sarcasm and hyperbole has escaped you. My comment was of the sort of self-depreciating humor Steven Pastis himself often uses in this strip. I thought that because of that it was an appropriate twist to today’s panel when taken as indicated above.

    This sounds like a flimsy excuse on a crime lab TV show – “Bones outside my house? Must be the ravens!”

    How do you make an elephant float?

    A glass of Root Beer and 2 scoops of Elephant.

    Grammar Nazi here. There is a real word, it’s not a contraction either, that people still use occasionally. It’s ‘WHY’. Look into it.

    Guess he got kicked off the police force after they discovered he was working for the crocs and trying to get Zebra to be their meal.

    How do you catch an elephant?

    First you need a pair of binoculars, a set of tweezers and a jar. Look at the elephant throught the wrong end of the binoculars (which makes everything look small). then pick of the small elephant with the tweezers and put it in the jar.

    The Elephant has a point. You don’t suspect cows either. You can suspect giraffes because they’ll come crashing through their roof.
