Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Armando Armadillo. How goes it? Armando: Great... I got married last weekend. Pig: Well, congratulations! Who's the lucky lady? Armando: Lupe. But she got run over by a minivan. So she wasn't that lucky.
1) Alexikakos--I recommend that you read the book "Will My Pet Go to Heaven?" by Steve Wohlberg. It's available from whitehorsemedia.com. 2)440RoadRunnerâItâs true that PB4S is a comic, one of the best we have today, but often Brudder Pastis puts in an idea that should make us stop and think.
Yeah, even tarantulas cross the road, as do turtles. They have no choice .Do humans have to drive that fast on country lanes to kill them? Does âpavementâ make you smarter than your buggy equipped grandparents?
Here in Texas, we have special signed road crossings for deer and tortoises but not for armadillos, theyâre too near-sighted and canât read âem . . . â»
For those looking for a pun, there is none. Heâs just making fun of how often armadillosâ lives are cut short by vehicles. Poor, sweet little armadillosâŠMaybe this is a public service announcement.
I donât see a pun either (kinda refreshing), but I think the strip holds its own. Call me heartless, but I thought it was funny The âfunny partsâ (for those who arenât repelled by the subject- its fine if you are):1. Armando stating that its going great, then adding that she got squished2. Pig asking about the lucky lady (normal question), being turned around with the comment âso she wasnât that luckyâ3. the âJust Marriedâ sign edited to âJust Squishedâ

Armando is terribly fatalistic. And fat. I foresee a squishy ending to his taleâŠ.

Why would Armando answer great? He was great last week, when he got married; presumably, heâs no longer great.

I envision a world in which chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.
