Headscratchers / Pearls Before Swine

• If the Crocs want to eat Zebra so badly, why don't they just jump the foot-tall hedge that separates the two?
  • That's not the issue. They can get to Zebra easily, we see them at his porch all the time. They just aren't smart enough to come up with a good plan to KILL him.
• Shouldn't that coffee place wise up and stop re-hiring Rat so much?
  • They can't. They have a Corporate Policy of Diversity, and as he's their only (anthro) Rat, he's got quite the Contractual Immunity. Rat can practically steal from the register and get promoted.
