Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 11, 2013

Did Polar Bear learn to spell from the crocs?

Spelling like a crocodile.

If Mr. Penguin had any sense, he’d fake a flipper injury and make Wifey go get the fish.

She must have purchased a life insurance policy on her tuxedo clad husband. None of her suggestions would lead to her getting something to eat…

Why isn’t the herring red?

You’re kidding — with penguins, it’s the female who’s the dumb one?

Nottatreek is an island in Hudson Bay in Nunavut. Must be where the bear is from.

Come on…be realistic like the strip…they don’t have hands.

Okay, so Dear can read (better than Polar Bear can write). But that doesn’t mean she is being wiser than Honey (unless her whole intent is a hard-divorce).

does the Polar Bear have a semi-intelligent wife and son too like Larry?

Maybe it’s a crockagator wearing a glove stolen from Michael Jackson…

Seems Legit!

Bear looks about as bright as the Crocs…

If Mr. Shatner or Mr. Stewart made the sign, would it read “NOT A TREK”?!?

Now it is just derivative… Zebras and Crocs in Pinguin and Polar Bear suits… That is actually a red herring!

I am really missing the crocs – it’s been 6 weeks or so – the polar bear is not a substitute.

We’re all missing the obvious explanation. It’s “Talk Like a Croc” day.

There’s something ….. wrong with this strip …. Antarctic Polar bears don’t have thumbs …. duh! . . . ☻

Sept.11,2001NEVER FORGET

Sen. McCarthy never met a dead herring that he didn’t believe was a red herring

With penguins, it’s the dads who hatch the eggs while the mums are off gorging on fish. After the chick is hatched, she’ll come back and help feed it. So I’m guessing, it’s Dad who’ll have to be the bright one.

So, are polar bears the arctic zeebas?

The polar bear and the penguins don’t live in the same areas.

..smarter than the average bear..

Wake up People….think current events!!!!

So where is the dolphin-eating killer whale? Seems like the type who’d enjoy a polar bear treat. (Or can he swim? We’ve only seen him on land.)

The question is:“Are penguins white with black areas or are they black with white areas?”

Come on Stephan, You have lost your touch. This strip is getting more stupid daily!

Please don’t fall for that!

LOL xxx

Rest in Peace…

So the Polar Bear learned Engleesh the same way the Crocs did?

Hello, Polar bears live in the north pole areas , penguins in the Antarctic area, long distance hunting or Stephen needs geography lessons!

Just go with the floe

This whole theme is awful

This story line is getting old. should we expect a monster sized character from another strip like “Jeffrey”.

Pastis is on vacation; he must be :-/

I’m guessing survival of the fittest doesn’t apply to Pastis’ predators.

What is so funny about this is the bear has yet to figure it out.TIP THE ICE OVER.Now Penguins in water.Crocs would have figured it out by now…..I think….maybe.

If Zebra had a wife…

When did the polar bear meet the crocs?

Penguins wear bows?

Hey man keep your “flags” to yourself, I didn’t bring it up. That is a very legitimate question too btw, tho I realize not the intent of the candlelight vigil.

It must not be a treek!

The wife is dumber than Pig… or even the crocs!
