I bet after Pig leaves, the reverend and guard will ask the inmate any last words. His response: he chuckles (and the reverend and guard will join in).

I’m remembering Chuckles the Clown was dressed as a peanut in a parade and was eaten by an elephant. One of the classic ideas of classic tv -the MTM Show. Couldn’t stop laughing.
Pig is cute. Dumb-cute. Why does he act silly as if at the Maternity Ward window, where silliness is the order of the day, when surely he sees the guy in stripes and straps with the juiced tinhat? Maybe Pig was just trying to cheer up the guy’s last moments. Yeah, that’s it….

Not like a maternity ward except when he pooped himself.

At least Pastis didn’t make the guy’s day worse by heaping on puns.

Pig was probably brought in because the warden really wanted the condemned to suffer.

Now the inmate REALLY wishes he’d asked for Pork Chops for his last meal!

I laughed too long at this. Well done, Pastis.

I’m imagining Pig doing panel 4 in the style of Reservoir Dogs. :D

This one really sucks! Death in any form is not at all funny.

Some things in life are bad;
They can really make you mad;
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle;
Don’t grumble, give a whistle;
And this’ll help things turn out for the best.
.
And always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the light side of life

My Uncle got the chair. Last time I saw him just before his execution, I didn’t know what to say. All that came out was “more power to you”.

Actually, Pig, that’s an “Eternity Ward”!

amazing how a dimwitted comment about the strip not being funny instantly elicits dozens of replies…

I’m not sure what Stephan’s point was with this one. The strip’s message is somewhat obscure.

In the 6th panel, is Pig holding one of his eyes!?! And I actually thought, “Wow. He’s really going to light up the room.” I’m an awful person!
