I think Larry might be on to something here, either that or he’s on something, one or the other.
KenTheCoffinDweller almost 8 years ago
At least I’m not the only one who ignores the ads. Not sure that being on par with Larry is a good thing though.

If you thinks Larry’s in trouble, wait until you see what Facebook does to Pig.

You realize, of course, that those driverless cars will be guided by GPS, the same system that directs drivers into the ocean.

I think Larry once went after Google before in 2010, when Zeeba Neighba had it as his ally and it got Larry all freaked out to where he organized an idiot croc “posse” much to Patty’s anger.

Oh that Larry Bing.

Come on! Even Larry’s own son isn’t 100% sure. Notice that he said “They probably won’t kill you”. Sounds like at least a 1% chance that they might. Build the wall higher & thicker Larry!

If a driverless car hits me, I’ll call my lawyer Siri.

I want to see how they make a driverless car heed the “Do not enter when flooded” sign.
Andrew Sleeth almost 8 years ago
Yeah, seems like Brin and Page pretty much reneged on the whole “do no evil” thing.

I agree with Larry this time.

I support Google in their quest for world domination. I think they would be a kinder, gentler master than either Amazon or Disney.

Hey Larry, if you have trouble building the wall, I’m sure google will help you.

“Probably” won’t.

Da Google already knows about your pathetic wall, and has circumvented it. Submit pathetic mortals! Bow before your Overlords! Bwahahahahaha!

With so many people out of work, why is Google trying to replace cab drivers and chaufers with robots!?

I want to see a driverless car stay out of the ditch on a narrow road with blowing, drifted snow and visibility range of ten feet. At night.

That wall won’t help him. There is no mortar between the bricks.

If I Googled “How to get rid of the Crocs on Pearls Before Swine” I wonder what would happen?
That’s right. Nothing.

I use google search, google spreadsheets, google maps, google blog, google gmail, and some other google things. But I don’t like them because they have destroyed google YouTube videos with extremely disgusting video ads. I don’t like them and I don’t trust them.

An old airplane joke: an airliner takes of from LA on a flight to New York; after reaching altitude a voice comes on over the PA system and says"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, you are flying on the first transcontinental flight being flown without a pilot. The whole flight from takeoff to landing is being controlled by a computer, but don’t be concerned, nothing can go wrong, can go wrong, can go wrong…"

Da Google arc returning? Does this mean we’ll be seeing Annie Fannie and that cow again too? Maybe the return of the heli-kitty.
Sisyphos almost 8 years ago
Bravo, Larry Croc! Such words of wisdom can give you a great new reputation. But follow your own advice!
Never trust da Google, son.
That has been my motto for a long time! Da Google is an evil entity determined to take over the Earth and all its people!

Instead of working on “driverless” cars, why not take things more incrementally and make safer cars? I’ve got parents and in-laws that are getting older and still need to drive, and a few basic safety features seem more important to me than making a car completely automated. You know, keep the car in the proper lane, avoid collisions, stop if the driver nods off. Something that could be a feature now, instead of years in the future.
Of course, my guess is they are hoping to make big profits on being the first to go driverless, as opposed to the much smaller margins for doing, well, the right thing.

That wall looks like it’s made of Legos — I don’t think it’ll stop a car.

Apparently I haven’t read this strip in a while. The Google arc from 2010 was one of my favorites, glad to see there was follow up.
