At its heart, Pearls Before Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says that Pearls is "one of the few comics that make me laugh out loud." The strip has twice won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben division award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip – in 2003 and in 2006.

Goat is mourning a kicked bucket.

Since the pail is tilted right over on its side, it appears that the farmer intended for it to happen. After all it’s on his bucket list.

In the 1960s “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” Jimmy Durante is thrown from a car and tells a strange story. Then he literally kicks a bucket.

that’s nothing compared to the time he bought the farm.

@Alexikakos
Did this run in ‘11, or did Pastis just draw it then? He works quite a ways ahead of schedule sometimes.
I wasn’t following Pearls last year, so I wouldn’t know.

As the Quaker said when the cow kicked over the milk bucket, " Cow, thou knowest I can neither kick thee nor curse thee nor smite thee. But knowest also that I can sell thee to someone who will."

I thought for sure with Old Man Johnson’s Farm, we were going to get some kind of Prince reference. Maybe Pig in a raspberry beret.

Oh, dear! Old Man Johnson, the farmer, has kicked the bucket! Oh, dear! Oh, dearie me!
Pig, you really should…(never mind).
