Transcript:
Pig: Can I help you, Mr. Death?
Death: Yeah, Pig, your kumquat tree is dropping kumquats on my lawn. You need to go over there and pick them up.
Pig: I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do that. I love defying death.
He could have gone with a pun there. Death could have asked Pig to stop walking across his yard, and Pig replying “My feet won’t let me”, or something Like that. Then in the last panel Pig tells Rat that he has Death defying feet.
He must have been listening to, “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” Pick up those quats, Pig, or you might wind up as roast pork! Have you been a bad little Piggy?

You can defy Death, Pig, but don’t play cards with him. We all know you can’t cheat Death.

Maxwell Smart once said that “Life is a kumquat”. So I guess death is a lack of kumquats.

i understand perfectly, walking around the yard of death sounds more unsafe than telling death i ain’t picking up kumquats, sorry
