Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 26, 2017

Goat will die 30 years from now from an aneurysm that will caused by the complications created by this injury. His deathbed will be ruled a homicide.

NEVER weak into a sports field where there are projectiles.

At least it wasn’t a lawn dart!

Died at age 110, shot in bed by a justifiably jealous husband .

Personally, I plan to die at the age of 106, shot in the back by the husband of the 21-year-old wife he caught me cheating with.

Boy, talking about a scapegoat, err, fence goat, whatever …

President Rat just initiated an attack against Paris! This means war!

Funny concept, funnier outcome.

Read Robert Heinlein’s short story “Life Line”.

lucky for Goat, cartoon characters never die

Paris got the point, and Pig got his goat!

Pastis you are a sick man……………………….

Think I’ll schedule that trip to Pamplona in 2034.

Oh my gosh! They killed Goat!

If you want to know when and how you will die… get sent to death row.

So, if you don’t hit a balloon before you run out of darts, you live forever? Bummer.

Lawn darts, mentioned above, were the mechanism of injury that, in one eight year period, sent over 6,000 people to hospital emergency rooms. Half of those were under the age of 10. Four were killed outright, and at least one was rendered comatose and has never revived. The USA has banned the original metal tipped version. I don’t know if the plastic/rubber versions are available here, though those are permitted in Canada. They are still unregulated in many other countries.

Just want to know where. Then I won’t go there.

crocs!!!!!!!!!

now that’s what I call a piercing headache.

Meh. I mean it’s not like we were attached. We didn’t name him or anything.

Pig darted ahead.

Is it strange that I couldn’t care less what I die of?

When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go.

xxx

Resurrect goat please.

Can this be the end of Paris Goat, PBS fans?

Stay ‘tooned for the Resurrection Special. Hear Goat say, "Thank goodness for all that head-butting practice! My skull is so thick, that dart caused just a flesh wound and temporary amnesia. That’s how I ended up serving sixty days, with time off for good behavior, here in Foxtrot."

See also today’s Frog Applause for a shout-out to the Cartoon-Boy/Amend kerfuffle.

Death by a botched amateur lobotomy!

Goat will die due to the overbearing antics and stupidity of Rat and Pig. Yet he still hangs with them.

Finally, a funny cartoon.

Launched from a trebuchet as 200 orchestra’s worth of instruments play ravel’s “bolero” with a huge barrel of nitroglycerine strapped to my back,straight into a massive pile of potatoes and fireworks

I plan to live up to at least the year 2085. It’s a little over the life expectancy, but there’s still a good chance..

This one actually made me laugh out loud, instead of in my head like most of these do. Thanks, Patsis!
