    Don’t do it, Pig! We love you! (Although I’m not sure why.) That water looks foul and cold, and Rat can’t be depended upon to save you.

    If Pastis keeps this up, gocomics may want to dock his pay.

    Pier pressure can only lead to bier pressure. Then, no pressure.

    Everyone’s just piling on. Now, if he wanted to be really obscure he could have added a pelican or two to the joke.

    Why would you do that, Pig?

    Excellent strip though.

    The pier is made of wood.Or so it would appear.

    And the next strip will presumably show pig switching from jumping to simply shooting himself in the head as his selected method of ending it all..

    Sort of ‘pier today, gun tomorrow’

    OK—for this one, Pastis’s beating in the fourth panel is really missing.

    I laughed, but seriously—where does he GET all these puns?

    Keep doing what you’re doing, Stephan. Great stuff.
