pig is practical

1st item on list: Don’t kick bucket – live forever.

^ last item on list: see 1st item.

A bucket list with no buckets!Pig’s idea pails in comparison.

I’m glad that Goat helped him get a handle on this — it galvanized his thinking.

aw, saywhat… thanks.

I think Pig is looking a little pail today.

One man’s “AHA!” moment is another’s “I can’t beleive he’s that dim” moment.

That’s just gross.

Goat’s idea really holds water.

Sometimes Goat spoils all the fun. I would have liked seeing that dumb Pig implement # 2 from his list.

I started to make a bucket list once, but I bailed on it.

I always thought the Bucket list went:1. Find a golden ticket2. Visit Willie Wonka’s incredible chocolate factory3. Inherit it and pull your family out of poverty

Can Pig cope with his newly expanded horizons of bucket-listables? Let us contemplate what Pig’s revised list might include…. I would have to include (though Pastis says it won’t happen) the undying of Sweet Fanny, Pig’s one true love (that phrase always arouses the Sweet Fanny haters and Pigita lovers among us).

Pig’s smart enough to leave Kicking the bucket off the list.

IS TOO!

5. Install bucket-drip irrigation.

#4. Poke a hole in it and write a song . . . (PS: get Ricky Nelson to sing it) .. .☻

Goat is VERY cool. Don’t we ALL have friends ?

Awww, I’ve read stories in magazines of people creating Bucket lists when they find out they have a terminal illness.

It’s upsetting.

@thetrusted mechanic – sweet and dumb are not inconsistent.

kick it

I think Pig is doing well. He’s got a good feed of ideas. I might steel some of them. I wood like to be as nice as him.

“Better get me a bucket—I’m going to throw up!” —Mr Creosote, in Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life

Now that Pig’s options have been broadened, will his list include activities with broads?

I love Pig in the last panel with his hands on his hips and the pencil on his ear. He he.
