Texting while doing crossing guard duty, but it was only a second. Good thing it’s a comic and not real life, otherwise he’d be arrested for dereliction of duty and perhaps involuntary manslaughter.
I’m afraid all of you missed the joke, which was a play on words, as usual (for Pastis). Cross trading is common within the mutual funds community; hence, when Pig asked if he could “cross” the guard looked up from his mutual funds and said “Sure.”

Pig should also pay more attention and not rely on others for his safety.

Most crossing guards are retired men and women. They can get distracted sometimes when their retirement assets are at risk.

Why does the crossing need to be guarded anyway? Is it valuable?

Back to the drawing board for self-driving vehicles – the AI can now detect a person in the street, but cannot identify a Pig
