Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 12, 2018

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come…

In Rat’s case death is a nightmare as he can’t drink any more beer once he’s dead.

another thing to add on to say what it’s like when you’re dead: you don’t get hear any snoring

A comic strip that ponders the bright side of death …………………………. Not funny!

“…life’s a piece of shit – when you look at it – life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true: You’ll see it’s all a show, keep ’em laughing as you go, just remember that the last laugh is on you…and…Always look on the bright side of life.” – Eric Idle

The extremely long dirt nap.

Death = eternal sleep

Heck, I already know just what it’s like. For sure, death will be for me, or anyone, just like what it was for me before I was born…

It will be exactly like it was before you were born.

No making the bed? I’m hooked already!

When you are given a general anesthetic, you go under then, for what seems like a split second later, you are wakened. No memories of dreaming, no sense of time passing, not even feeling like you’ve had a nap. I hope there is more to death than that total non-conscience state.

Like sleep without all that responsibility!

Heaven, it is a place

a place where nothing

nothing ever happens

I feel a bout of phenomenology coming on, but I’m too tired to work it out since I was up twice last night to pee. I think I’ll just move on to Calvin and Hobbes now.

If that’s what death is like, I could live with it.

You’ll need the rest; pushing up daisies is hard work!

What’s it like to experience being unable to experience?

Now I can’t get “Deteriorata” out of my mind….. showing my age… I won’t quote it here, but invite you to Google it.

Bring out your dead…

To the soul, death is an illusion. So is the physical world.

If you were to “die” right now, you wouldn’t feel dead, you’d feel more alive, free, and aware… As if you’ve waken up from another dream designed to test and grow your soul. In addition to that, your soul knew, before you were born, what major circumstances were going to happen, the people involved, and the approximate time, and circumstances, for your death. Key in this soul growth is free will.

Good books to read on this are Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls, and Memories of the Afterlife by Dr. Michael Newton.

“Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” From Thanatopsis, by William Cullen Bryant

mors vincit omnia. Death always wins.

Of course, in death, you just cease to exist. You just go away.

Paradise by the Dashboard Lights ;)

For Pig death would be very hot, have a sizzling sound and smell like bacon.

After you’re dead is just like before you were born only longer.

" … even if you wet it."

No more commercials about prostate

I would prefer Heaven for the location and Hell for the company

No, you should NOT have to get up in the middle of the night to void. Please go see a urologist (or a urogynecologist, if applicable). Diet changes, drugs, and physical therapy are all available to help.

How pleasant! Pig’s Paradise is peaceful. Sleep well, good prince!
