Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 04, 2024

You can commit a felony with sticks and stones.

Reach for the stars, Larry; some of them aren’t very fast.

The crocs always make me laugh. I love Larry’s answer in panel 3.

Larry better run for political office if he wants a surefire way to be convicted of a felony.

The three virtues bureau.

If you can’t get a license for a firearm, ask for a license for alcohol.

at least someone didn’t get a gun…

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me…” oh, wait, yes, they will…hmmm…Dan aka…

Try using your teeth

It will certainly be easier with a gun.

It sounds a bit far fetched, too much of an utopia. Seems to me Larry is exactly the kind of person the gun lobby would like to see owning a gun or several.

Alcohol, tobacco, firearms….. sounds likr a good hobby to me.

Maybe not sticks and stones, but how ’bout tooth and tail?

Larry could always fight with his jaws, swimming abilities and claws, just like his ancestors have done for millions of years.

Is Larry Da Croc a fan of Da Bears?

I hope Larry’s application at least brought some chuckles to the fellas at the ATF.

Be careful, sticks and stones can break my bones…

But words can never hurt me.

This reminded me of this scene in the movie Stripes, at the recruiter’s office: Recruiter : Now, are either of you homosexuals? John Winger : [John and Russell look at each other] You mean, like, flaming, or… Recruiter : Well, it’s a standard question we have to ask. Russell Ziskey : No, we’re not homosexual, but we are willing to learn.

Odd… That’s not how it works in real life.

It’s actually the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives now.

Happy World Rat Day, to one not appearing in today’s strip.

Is there a special school for that?

Love Larry!!

They say a fellow named Cane committed the first felony with a stone.

Larry priceless.

Didn’t Einstein say something like that regarding WW4?

In some states you can buy a gun and carry it around, no questions asked.

What about dragging Zeeba into your pool?

Good old Form 4473. I always wanted to answer the “Are you insane?” question with, “Depends which of my friends you ask.”

As if it was that easy to stop somebody in America from owning a gun

Larry is the best

Hit Zeeba with truck, it works on deer and cows, I know that for a fact.

Can’t he just go in a Walmart?

CROCS!!!!

Ever wonder if Larry had an alligator in his family history?

Larry, Larry, Larry, isn’t it time you learned Engish?

Sadly, the A.T.F. can’t do squat these days—-the righties gutted their authority down to the bone

Larry, just go back to old neiberhod in Phille, maybee find pieze layn under drugeez body. It beez free!

Wouldn’t they break his bones?

When I think of the ATF, I still remember how they botched the Waco siege with the Branch Davidians

Isn’t it now the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives?

@Sportymonk Thanks for willing to be wordy today, not they could put the picture together. Now, let’s blow their minds with the fact, that the 2A. does not mean only firearms, but a few other items as well. I’ll leave it up to them to find out what. :)

Was it the grammar?

This is the story of why CrocHoliday is so salty about the gun topic!!
