Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 23, 2011

Transcript:
Goat: What are you writing, Pig? Pig: A bucket list of all the things I'd like to do before I die. Goat: You know, things on your bucket list didn't have to involve buckets. Pig: Whoa. Now that broadens things.
I always thought the Bucket list went:1. Find a golden ticket2. Visit Willie Wonka’s incredible chocolate factory3. Inherit it and pull your family out of poverty
Can Pig cope with his newly expanded horizons of bucket-listables? Let us contemplate what Pig’s revised list might include…. I would have to include (though Pastis says it won’t happen) the undying of Sweet Fanny, Pig’s one true love (that phrase always arouses the Sweet Fanny haters and Pigita lovers among us).

A bucket list with no buckets!Pig’s idea pails in comparison.

I’m glad that Goat helped him get a handle on this — it galvanized his thinking.

Goat’s idea really holds water.

Sometimes Goat spoils all the fun. I would have liked seeing that dumb Pig implement # 2 from his list.

Pig’s smart enough to leave Kicking the bucket off the list.

Goat is VERY cool. Don’t we ALL have friends ?

Awww, I’ve read stories in magazines of people creating Bucket lists when they find out they have a terminal illness.
It’s upsetting.

I think Pig is doing well. He’s got a good feed of ideas. I might steel some of them. I wood like to be as nice as him.

Now that Pig’s options have been broadened, will his list include activities with broads?

I love Pig in the last panel with his hands on his hips and the pencil on his ear. He he.
