I love Pearls! I’m almost developing a Trix rabbit affection for that poor crocodile…even though I like Zebra.

On a related note…In the [13 December strip](http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20071213.html) we see the Zebra family. I think the skinny one is “Zebra”, but the fat one is also wearing a tie. Is Zebra in a gay relationship?

I don’t know why, but that bayou dialect is one of the funniest damn things in comics today - IMHO a close second to Bucky’s monkey fixation (“Did you say sandwich monkey?”).
