    It is good that Pig passed something, other than gas.

    Somehow, I knew the punchline was coming after reading the first panel and looking at the second to the last panel at the same time.

    Pig is probably tired from studying hard. Now he can rest in peace.

    I am reminded of Tony Soprano at the roulette wheel after taking peyote, finally accepting that his nephew, Christopher, is gone and that the burden of his passing his upon him.

    It’s true. Rat’s reaction would have been the same either way.

    The strange thing about this strip is that Rat seems genuinely happy for Pig in the next to last panel. It works for Goat, but maybe Rat could just be the one with the obligatory Pastis criticism at the end.

    Knowing Pastis I would have expected that the test was called “Gas”.

    That reminds me when Brian and Stewie in Family Guy went back to the future to make 9/11 happen in the episode “Back to the Pilot”When they came to the present Stewie said “We did it, Brian! We made 9/11 happen!” and they started jumping up and down with joy.xxx

    Yes, punsters and punfans, let us rejoice, for Pig has passed Away! And, next, let’s go beat some sense into Cartoon-Boy!

    Such is the sad life of those cursed with the tendancy to pun. Few people ever find them clever or funny, no matter how original or clever the punsters think they are.

    @gene06825 – I think SP does the strip the way he does because it is, after all, his strip. Naturally, you’re entitled to your opinion. In my opinion, I suggest decaf.

    “Travel adviser.” “Those guys make a lot of money.”

    That may be the funniest joke Pastis has ever written!
