Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 08, 2023

Obviously the Crocs settled on eating man rather than Zeeba.

“Man Give An Arm And a Leg For Florida Vacation!”

“One-Legged Man Sets New Swimming Record.”

Two of his arms? How many arms did that swimmer have?

That man was well on his way to becoming Bob!

Man gives arms and leg to meet the Crocs.

Headline should be CROCS NOT GET ZEEBA SO THEY ALMOST EATS MAN.

Pig doesn’t know how to spell “injury”.

Maybe the swimmer should have been scared.

If he lost three limbs, wouldn’t it be a boo-boo-boo?

Silly me. Here I thought it was Yogi who suffered Boo Boo.

Pig and Goat don’t want the readers to say “boo.”

You could swap it for the more hardcore “Man Suffers Owwie”

How about, “Man vs. Croc?”

Why would anyone go swimming in croc-infested waters?

Certainly wasn’t Larry.

The biggest problem with this story is it doesn’t have legs.

“Tis but a scratch “.

I’d upgrade that to “Big Ouchie”.

I’m just thankful it wasn’t me! Zeeba‼️

Who lost the limbs, the croc or the man?

This cartoon makes me think of the titles congress puts on bills.

That title is a bit of an understatement.

I guess pig didn’t want to go with ‘Crocodile Dismembers Man’ for the headline.

How about…

FINAL SCORE: CROCS 3 MAN 1

Might want to add a few more ’i’s as well.

That’d be, boo, boo, boo…

Noooo…. they only pick on Zeebas….

And Batman arrives to arrest Killer Croc,who’s so dumb he got into the wrong comic by mistake

Don’t know why my post disappeared, since there was nothing offensive in it, so here’s another one:

Quote from swimmer: "Call 9-1-1, you stupid Pig! I’m f^^^ing wounded!

The croc had a disarming smile.

Did the croc do it in one bite?

Reminds me of the old joke “Shine o shine, you swim mighty fine, if miss one stroke your a** is mine”!! (Think it was a shark)

Try: “Really big boo-boo”, “biggest boo-boo ever”, or “multiple boo-boos”.

The victims name was Ted, but now they just call him Bob.

My impression has been that the reporter/story-writer is a separate person from the headline writer, and that headline writers tend to be impish….

How about “Crocodile Enjoys Special Meal!”
