“Hell In A Handbasket” is just the name of the town at the bottom of the hill. You know where they have the big parade every year during Christmas. One must get there early to get a good spot to watch the parade from ;-)
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (mostly because I’m super pleased with how clever I am), so many people freak out as if we’re going to Hell in a handbasket, but to the more level-headed it’s obviously more like Purgatory in a pushcart.

I didn’t know Hell was at the bottom of a green rolling hill.

And at the bottom of the hill, laid the routinees, enraged by their prisoners escape…

I’m surprised that Rat would take that ride.

Once they hit the bottom: “All right, Pig, break out the shovels, we’re gonna be here all night.”

Driving to escape California wildfires can feel like going to hell in a hand basket.

A better panel would have been to have Pastis in the basket and Rat pushing him down the hill because of that reference.

To quote the Dead, “I may be going to hell in a bucket But at least I’m enjoying the ride”
There’s also a good Science Fiction short, “The Hell-Bound Train”.

Good golly. We finally see Zebra neighbor after how many months, and he’s not given any dialogues. How disappointing

I’m sure that, Pig, is the only one who is shouting “wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”

I thought in order to get to Hell, you had to sell your soul to be elected to Congress or at least a state legislature

Well, Hell has a Highway, and Heaven has a stairway. What does that tell you about the odds getting in up there?!

Big handbasket there but no nearly big enough for the whole country…

They seem awfully happy considering their destination. But then Pig is the eternal optimist.

It’s nice to be ahead of the curve, though that is not where I would have expected to find Rat and Pig….
