Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 15, 2015

So if Death picks up Pig’s kumquats, the kumquats will shrivel into nothing?

Here Lies Pig~~~~~~~~~~All for the Sake of Kumquats

Never seen Pig so assertive

This one needs a fourth panel where Rat goes and introduces Pastis to Death.

I never expected I’d say this. But I almost miss the pun stories.

Pastis likes to do those on Sundays. Stay tuned.

Next thing you know, Pig’ll try to dare devils.

tomorrow Pig goes to Death’s Door to apologize

What in Hel…sinki is Pig thinking?

@Susan and danf.f.b. Ha! Perfect!

Pig? Death-defying feats?! Egad, what is this world coming to, when Pig is the most pro-active character in the strip? Death, where is thy sting?

kumquats….haahaaahaaaa ha haha ha haaa haaaa.

Boy, someone’s a real daredevil.

I’m not sure Pig realizes what a grave matter this is.

You can defy Death, Pig, but don’t play cards with him. We all know you can’t cheat Death.

“Give me kumquats or give me death!”

He could have gone with a pun there. Death could have asked Pig to stop walking across his yard, and Pig replying “My feet won’t let me”, or something Like that. Then in the last panel Pig tells Rat that he has Death defying feet.

Kum quat may, Pig is certainly valiant.

Maxwell Smart once said that “Life is a kumquat”. So I guess death is a lack of kumquats.

C’mon Pig. Be a good neighbor. What has death done to you – yet?

to defy him is like courting death

Just don’t make the mistake of defying Mandy.

i understand perfectly, walking around the yard of death sounds more unsafe than telling death i ain’t picking up kumquats, sorry

Comic strips teach me something new every day.Rat would definitely tell “Mr. Death” where to go!xxx

He must have been listening to, “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” Pick up those quats, Pig, or you might wind up as roast pork! Have you been a bad little Piggy?

Maybe Death should take a holiday to get away from Pig for awhile.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I fear no evil, for I’m the meanest #%!!! Kumquat of them all.

this seems like something rat would do

What is with this comic and kumquats?
