Good grief. There’d be appeals for years. He wouldn’t actually be executed for decades. In the meantime, his state could outlaw capital punishment (remember, this strip was drawn in the 1980s). Bill the Cat could outlive us all.
Life is all we as humans have. It is a sacred line I feel we should force another human to cross, especially when they haven’t actually killed someone themselves (i. e. this treason trial). I believe killing someone is a most base and horrific violation, and using it as a punishment automatically makes you just as bad as the person you’re punishing.

We all die a little every day……….much like all of Berke’s strips.

When they pull the switch, will that be the only time that Bill The Cats comment of “Ack, Thbbft” is appropriate to the situation?

Just connect the cap to his tongue- that should certainly conduct electricity!

Why do I have the feeling that Bill the Cat’s execution is going to get overturned on a technicality?

Tune in tomorrow for the “shocking” conclusion.

In Bill’s case, how will they know when the job is done?
