Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 22, 2024

I wonder if people in Heaven sing “Happy Death Day to You.”

I would expect Rat to prefer a cane, because you can hit people with that.

I doubt Rat will have to worry about it where he’s going.

Wouldn’t the people up there be celebrating their deathday?

The last time he saw Uncle Frank, he was the guest of honor at a luau.

Some of us will have arthritis for ever and a non. Old age ain’t for wimps.The good die young might be true observation but I’ll keep a’going putting off any heavenly reward.

I remember Uncle Frank, had him in a BLT back in ’21.

Wouldn’t your ‘heavenly birthday’ be your time of death?

Today is my unbirthday. And so is tomorrow, and the day after that…..

Rat is happy about having a walker? I shudder to imagine how he plans to use it.

I turn 69 today! I feel pretty good! I plan on hitting the gym and trying to do 10 pull-ups on the pull-up bar. Wish me luck because I struggle with going past 7 of them!

Don’t think rat will see heaven.

I like remembering the birthdays of passed relatives. I think it’s a sweet way to honor their memory.

I’d rather have a scooter than a walker.

Don’t worry Rat, I don’t think Heaven is going to be your final destination.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Annette Funicello.

I don’t think disabilities and physical limitations apply in the afterlife.

No, Rat, it would melt away.

To me a heavenly birthday would be cherry chip cake with cherry icing, chocolate ice cream, and no calories in either.

Rat is one incredibly determined pessimist!

My SIL posts Heavenly Birthday cards in remembrance of her departed loved ones – including my late brother. Personally, I find it a bit unnerving.
