Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 06, 2015

You gonna cheat Death at poker, cheat smart. Even Death knows there’s only four aces in the deck.

Does Ingmar Bergmann know about this strip?

I think pig is about ready to be dealt a strait…strait to…well

No, Wyld Hogs.

Bruno Zeigerts started it with the Battleship comment.

The least Pig could have done is have some beer and little sandwiches for Death while they played. Never be rude to Death, or something like that.

He who laughs last…is still alive. It’s not nice to fool the Grim Reaper, Pig! I see bacon and ham in your cards….

Apparently Stephan does too sleeping with crocs as all…

Must be a pinochle deck.

be careful pig or u go splat

I swear he’s already had a “cheat death” strip earlier this year.

you may cheat death as they saywith crazy luck or games you playbut in the end when all is doneit is death who has really won-i know morbid

Mos Death.

Why does aces and eights keep coming up?.(Wow, Bill. You win with two pair.)

I can’t remember what cards form the “Dead man’s hand”. Does anybody?

2 pairs, aces and 8s all black (clubs and spades)

I’m not much of a card player; I prefer dicing with death.

The Seventh Squeal

A bit of a ripoff of a Stephen Colbert regular feature…. only he uses three-card monte instead. The bit was on a couple of times a month.Here is one example.(It’s an commercial-supported “free” site, so you’ll need to sit through a short ad).

I read this strip while eating a strip of crispy bacon

Poker games are like golf…Boring!But I enjoyed today’s stip though. It was ACE!xxx

And jokers always are wild.

this seems out of character for pig. when did he take on rat characteristics?

…with Dr. StephenT. Colbert, DFA

So far we’ve seen Pig defy Death and then cheat Death; will we soon see him flirting with Death?

I feel like this should have gone on June 5 and that one should have gone on this day.
