Crock, 12/5/24

If these two guys have names, I don't know what they are -- the Wikipedia Crock article just calls them "the men of Outpost 5," and they don't merit a mention on the official King Features Crock character list -- but their deal basically is that the guy on the right is always reading letters aloud about life in his hillbilly home town back in France (?). Anyway, I find today's bit actually kind of heartening. The guy on the left generally looks uninterested during these recitations, but it's clear he's been paying attention. He knows the lore!
