Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 29, 2012

hey, im first

It gives new meaning to “too stupid to live,” doesn’t it?

ACK! Poor, stupid Burt.

… applied darwinism in action …

At least Igor wasn’t the test subject for Frankenstein’s resurrect the dead experiment.

At least it wasn’t Bob this time. Poor Burt. What a crushing defeat.

I wouldn’t want a job like Burt’s; too much pressure.

Poor Burt …R.I.P.

God bless you face, Burt. :⌇

Burt get waxed as often as Kenny on South Park.

Burt has become a Bob! And a tiny, compact one, at that!.Nice of Larry [?] to keep Zeeba Neighba informed of the crocs’ latest failed wacky capture-plan.

Zeeba Nay-bah is fortunate he lives next door to what must be the dumbest tribe of crocs that Nature ever spit out. Heaven help him if he ever ran into a real crocodile.

Perhaps it is a different Burt or bob each time – I mean the Crocs don’t seem smart enough to even thing of more than 3 or 4 names between them

There’s stupid, and then there’s those who WORK at stupid – and nearly all the crocs fit in the last category.

Burt = Bob Reincrokinated

It’s touching to see Larry’s (?) compassion for his fellow croc.

Yes he does, crocodile, yes he does

I knew someone was gonna wind up in there!

Poor Burt, we hardly knew ye. Oh well, Zeeba Zeeba Eata has plenty of other members.

So where did zeba’s huge wall go Hmm answer me that Mr Pastis ?

Call the gang from Swamp People and put the croc’s out of their misery.

Burt couldn’t take the pressure of being a professional scientist.

It doesn’t appear to be plugged in.

Pastis increased the compression codec of Burt’s image so that he would download faster.

I wonder if Burt came out of the compactor shaped like a croc boot.

Teeny, tiny Burt now go after grasshoppers for deener.

Gee, if Larry had used a shredder, would we now have crocodile tears?!? . . . . ☻

deet sound veery fun burt.

All dat screameen. It terrible. Hurt ears.

Do not try this at home. Leave it to the professionals.

again, the idiot crocs strike.

Do these crocs stay dead or simply come back to life like rat and pastis has?

As a retired scientist, I agree that a professional should not get emotional over the results of an experiment. It tends to skew the interpretation so that the facts may be missed. Since Burt “screams a lot”, you better repeat the experiment with Bob & continue with others of your tribe until the screaming stops. Maybe anesthesia would help.

Well, it depends.

Some of those crocs ought to be wearing red shirts.

now, you see? this is why i love the crocs. sure, they’re basically a one-joke group of characters, but i love the way stephan tells the joke so differently, each time! i fell off my chair laughing at this punchline at work today. good thing no one else was in the break room when i did!

My gawd Larry, take out the stinkin’ garbage, will ya?

his was a sacrifice for the greater good :B

To quote Stephan;“Another day, another croc death. Poor little guys.”

Although I’m not sure if ‘poor’ fits. Change it to ‘stupid’ and it would be perfect.

The best part is that as I’m reading this, right above the comic is an add for hefty bags!
