Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 04, 2023

What’s strange is that Pig is sitting with the remains of a friend.

I think Sam raimi’s gonna sue somebody!!!! Dan aka…

Gotta love a comic that swings from absurd to dark really quickly

This is the closest Pig will ever come to having a hot woman in his arms.

What about her friend Bernie, nicknamed Bern?

Ashley Burns?

I never got this whole keeping ashes, visiting graveyards thing.

Ashley to Ash, Dustin to Dust, Why all the crying?

It’s all these grave puns.

She made an ash of herself.

Nice looking jar.

Ashley urned it.

Ash made an ash of herself.

“You’re the cremate in my coffee..”

I would burn this comic strip but it would ruin my laptop.

at least Ashley won’t talk your ear off

When I was young, I used to play board games with my grandfather until my mum decided to hide the urn.

What, just because you’re dead, you can’t a fun night out?

Burned bacon? :D

Ash me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies.

Did Ashley know Shelley Beach?

Go ahead and call her Ash. They’re actually called cremains, not ashes.

Is Ashley in an Ashtray ;-)

Happy 4th of July !

Ashley to Ash(es), Dust to Dust …

Is that “Good Ash” or “Bad Ash”?

Stefan’s gone over to The Dark Side today. Bring it back, good buddy!

Hey, Bernie! Got a minute?

That’s disturbing.

My niece named her pet Ash. It’s a bearded dragon. (True)

Ash and trash

When I’m gone, I’m gonna be cremated, with my remains in an urn engraved “Kiss My Ash”

As a fan, I’m in the Pastis Corps(E)

Embarrassed mourners: “Oh, ashes to ashes. Sorry, Padre. We thought you said as….”

Not the oddest PBS strip I’ve read. Not even close

What ever happened to PIGITA? ZEEBA, Crocs, Duck ????

but then you’d be gone too rat. :J

And a well-urned burning it would be.

You’re too late, Rat. I already read it. On the other hand, it’s nice that they still include Ash in their activities. Being dead is no reason to miss out.

Reminds me of the time I was escorting an aged uncle on a flight from Florida to New England and TSA discovered my aunt’s ashes in his luggage. He’d not bothered to tell anyone that he was taking them north with him.

My granddaughter-in-law’s name is Ashleigh, and we all call her Ash.

Should have left this one on the drawing board

CREMATE it, “Somebody should cremate this comic strip!” I can’t believe he missed that.

Pig has another friend named Barry.

Was that Ashley The Day?

apparently, he’s sittin’ with an EX friend.

ashley-ash, ernie-urn

Time passes, people change, but Ashley remains the same.

Let’s hope that wasn’t from a firework accident. Happy Independence Day!

I often sit with the remains of a pig between two slices of bread, OK I don’t do it for long after all I don;t want it going cold!

And YOU with it, Rat?

People go to cemeteries all the time. What’s the difference?

And, today, technology gives us “Parting Stones.” partingstone.com

This strip is pretty much burnt without the crocs.

Burning down this comic strip will only lead to more ash.

I wholeheartedly agree with panel #4.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

Oh Stephan — LOLOL

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

Just don’t toss Ash at Pink during her concert. Why can’t people behave at music concerts anymore?

Love this comic!

Maybe Rat’s right. Cremate Cartoon-Boy! —Waddya think?

My friend’s dog died and was cremated 5 or 6 years ago. Lola’s (the dog) ashes have been riding in the car ever since.

This was so dark that the comic burned itself.

Asley was a patriot for revolution and a terrorist against us.

If my Mom’s ashes in the next room could hear that she’d agree.
