    Is this really the end of Gomer Goldfish?Well, if so, Pig can always buy another. That’s pretty much the way of goldfishes; a short life but a merry one!

    What happened to the magnifying glass to make the strip larger?

    @marie elisabeth…..If you put your cursor on the comic you can see the magnifying glass in the middle of the second panel….just click on it.

    It’s a good thing he has a leash on that fish.

    If he is dead, would that make him a Gomer pile now?

    Hilarious, I love this strip. Reading one of the Treasuries right now and the annotations make it even funnier.

    Gomer’s last words were, “Stop the world! I want to get off!”.

    I had a black fish when I was a kid, and it turned into a frog?

    Bad week to be a minor cartoon character, especially in this strip.

    I used to go to the bank every Friday afternoon.There was a pet store in the shopping center. A young woman bought some small tropical fish, and rather than leave them in the car where it might be 120 degrees, she brought them into the bank.I commented that it was really nice of her to take her fish for a walk, they probably don’t get out muchUnfortunately she was very embarrassed.

    Gomer had a bad attitude. But I’m not so sure that pushing against the edge of his bowl would propel the bowl and wagon. I do like the fish leash though.

    Now Pig has to slurp up the water as fast as he can and spit it all back into the bowl. Otherwise, it will be a long dry walk home for poor Gomer.

    ’E’s not pinin’! ’E’s passed on! This fish is no more! ‘E has ceased to be! ’E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ’E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If Pig hadn’t nailed ‘im to the perch – I mean taken ’im for a walk – ’e wouldn’t be pushing up the daisies! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ’istory! ’E’s off the twig! ’E’s kicked the bucket, ’e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-FISH!!
