Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis (Mar, 27 2006) ~ Crocs and Zeeba neighbor!

OK, so this one is a pretty unexpectedly awesome way to end the year!

Loved Pearls Before Swine for decades. Hysterically funny and dark, especially the crocs.

It’s tough to find original strips from the series. Stephan doesn’t part with stuff often, and when he does, it can be any of the numerous characters. Finding crocs is next to impossible.

Years ago a friend helped me get a strip. It was great…but no crocs. Time passed. Croc strips rarely surfaced, and if they did, they were pricey.

One day, a friend pings me. A strip is on eBay with crocs, and nobody is bidding?!

One of the coolest wins in ages and totally unexpected!
