Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 23, 2024

Be afraid of thoughts.

If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?

And Rat being the rat he is, sneaks under Pig’s bed and makes a small bump sound every once in a while.

Don’t fear the reaper. (Great song)

hehehe… once in a while Rat makes me snicker.

You have nothing to fear but fear itself, Pig. Oh, and Fox News.

Rat is cruel

Hate it when your busy brain won’t let you sleep!

You’re OK Pig. Ghosts only haunt young, wealthy couples with a small baby who buy a big old house to redo.

True, the living and the dead are both terrifying. So maybe just focus on inanimate objects for a while.

No worries pig. If anyone dead or alive is try to bothers you then em monsters under your bed will gets em and eats em.

“If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?”

Casper.

Have no fear in cheese.

Rat continues his streak of being the wisest character in the strip.

Fear comes from the inside, not the outside. Go outside. Oh, wait.

For once Rat makes sense.

I think that they have a pill for that !

Fear the Walking Dead in the White House. Or, to be more specific, his commie handlers

Well, the living are a lot more dangerous than the dead. shrug

I love how pig has stubble.

I know plenty of living people that Pig could fear.

Steph! You got this one right!

The dead can’t hurt you—it’s the living that scare the s#!t out of me!

Not a good attitude for an Oscar Meyer Head Manager of the Bratwurst Division.

That didn’t help, Rat.

Fear taking classes at Columbia

Rat’s got a point, though.

I don’t believe in ghosts. And if you had met as many of them as I have, you wouldn’t believe in them either.

“I see live people who are dead to me.” ~ Original and prior to edited line from The Sixth Sense

Good advice. You can make the living to become ghosts, but not the other way around.

Fear? For Flat Earthers there is nothing to fear but sphere itself…

Kitten and puppy videos. They work every time.

Welcome to summer camp!

I sympathize with Pig; he better make sure he knows whom he’s calling.

Speaking about a real fear.

MOOOOOMMMMYYYY!

Are Pig’s ghosts anything like the ghosts in “Ghosts”?

O-PUN the door.

Pastor like to walk through the graveyard of his church when he had some heavy thinking to do. “The dead can do less harm to you than the living.”
