Today's Pearls before swine (it's a newspaper comic) is very funny, but
you need to read the whole week to get the idea.
Here are the links in order:

That is pretty funny!  You know, when they mentioned Farley on the
4/29 one, I thought, "What, did something happen to Farley??"  Then, I
realized that I haven't read FBOFW since high school, and everyone
grows older in that strip, so it would make sense that he went to RB
since then.

Farley went to the Bridge years ago [getting April out of a
near-drowning in the process]. His son, Edgar, is the current family
dog [there's also the grandfather's dog, Dixie, and April's pet
rabbit, whose name I can't remember right now].

Mr B? Or is that the rabbit that died a while ago?

The rabbit died? [I'm about 10 days behind on the paper.] AFAIR, Mr. B
is still alive, well, and hassling the dogs.

I *think* the rabbit died and they got another one. IIRC, it got the
same name as its predecessor. Or something like that. It was a while ago
though, so my memory might be betraying me. Maybe he was just very sick?

I got this off the "For Better or For Worse" web page.

Butterscotch
Named for her color, Butterscotch is the second house rabbit the
Pattersons have owned. When the kids at school learned that April's
pet had died, they let her know that a schoolmate was looking for
someone to take his rabbit! April was happy to adopt an unwanted bunny
and brought her home. More delicate than her predecessor, Butterscotch
is still full of mischief and has her own bad habits - one of which is
emptying her cage of all wood chips - onto the floor! Being the new
pet on the block, Butterscotch is still learning the rules. She
doesn't keep the dogs on their toes as much as Mr. B did but she
tries!

Oh, OK, now I remember this [this was quite some time ago].

I think the rabbit was sick, but I don't remember for sure. Wonder if
anyone else does?

The first rabbit, Mr. B., was just old! We were told years ago that rabbits
live less years than cats do. Mr. B. died in April's company, and was buried
in some sentimental spot in their yard. New rabbit is named Butterscotch and
keeps a much lower profile than her predecessor.

When I read Farley's death (years ago), I was already feeling lousy
that day, so that turned on the waterworks.  I just started crying,
and couldn't stop.
