Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 27, 2017

Not like a maternity ward except when he pooped himself.

Right pig, send ’em off happy.

And like that, his soul went off happily

I’m not a big fan but this one is pretty good. Dave(Bob’s your Uncle)

I bet after Pig leaves, the reverend and guard will ask the inmate any last words. His response: he chuckles (and the reverend and guard will join in).

At least Pastis didn’t make the guy’s day worse by heaping on puns.

Pig was probably brought in because the warden really wanted the condemned to suffer.

Now the inmate REALLY wishes he’d asked for Pork Chops for his last meal!

I laughed too long at this. Well done, Pastis.

Some people just refuse to be cheered up!

Pig……………

Funny, no puns, the end times are neigh.

I’ll take an injection,please.

Really not funny. Kind of poor taste.

I’m imagining Pig doing panel 4 in the style of Reservoir Dogs. :D

This one really sucks! Death in any form is not at all funny.

Some things in life are bad;

They can really make you mad;

Other things just make you swear and curse.

When you’re chewing on life’s gristle;

Don’t grumble, give a whistle;

And this’ll help things turn out for the best.

.

And always look on the bright side of life.

Always look on the light side of life

Ah, a little gallows humor to start the morning.

My Uncle got the chair. Last time I saw him just before his execution, I didn’t know what to say. All that came out was “more power to you”.

Actually, Pig, that’s an “Eternity Ward”!

Electric chair jokes are always current!

“The California Supreme Court largely upheld a measure Thursday passed by voters to speed up executions but severely diluted a key provision aimed at ending a backlog of appeals.” Los Angeles Times Friday August 25, 2017

This is abominably tasteless.

“only in the USA” (or Saudi Arabia, or China, …)

Wonder what the guy did? Everybody has a story.

I’m remembering Chuckles the Clown was dressed as a peanut in a parade and was eaten by an elephant. One of the classic ideas of classic tv -the MTM Show. Couldn’t stop laughing.

Shocking! Ha ha, hee hee, you’re killing ’em pig.

amazing how a dimwitted comment about the strip not being funny instantly elicits dozens of replies…

Pig is cute. Dumb-cute. Why does he act silly as if at the Maternity Ward window, where silliness is the order of the day, when surely he sees the guy in stripes and straps with the juiced tinhat? Maybe Pig was just trying to cheer up the guy’s last moments. Yeah, that’s it….

I think pig has been reading Joyce Carol Oates.

I’m not sure what Stephan’s point was with this one. The strip’s message is somewhat obscure.

I actually did laugh out loud on this one! Too funny!!

That’s the last thing someone really needs before execution, being smiled at..

If I was on death row, I’d smile if pig visited me

In the 6th panel, is Pig holding one of his eyes!?! And I actually thought, “Wow. He’s really going to light up the room.” I’m an awful person!
