Now he'll be scrambling through the trash cans of heaven, screeching with joy.

I don't know, that little guy looks like it has guts. Maybe it earned its place in Elysium.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

If he didn't earn his place in Elysium, I'll kill everyone in Valhalla and then myself

"He had the fucking coins, Paul!"

Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennies down its throat?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

In ancient Greek they put coins into the mouth of dead people to pay the ferryman for a trip over the Styx to the underworld. (I think it was bronze coins, correct me pls if I'm wrong.)

So yes it must be dead in the first place.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Right but opossums are known to play dead, so they're saying that it could have been playing and they just made it choke to death on a penny

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yes, that is what I was saying

[-] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago

I much enjoyed part 2 and hope that opossum stumbles into godhood

It goes to 9. The next one isn't titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.

EDIT: 8 to 9. There are 10 comics, but numbered it goes to "9" in the title.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

10, actually. 1-9 and an intermission with a different title.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I need more. I'm invested.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I meant 9 as what the last one is titled. But I get your point

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

5 is frames from a chill, slice-of-life animated feature: "4 heads are better than 1".

Spoiler: It doesn't like to be licked.

I don't know why, but this made me audibly giggle. I'm not sure if it's Charon's confusion in the penultimate panel, or the possum's gleeful/eager expression in the ultimate one.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Last line gets me

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Who wrote this?? Nobody says "penultimate"!

Edit: yeah, sorry, this was just a line from a TV show. It was stupid.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I wrote this. I so rarely get to use the word "penultimate"; I wanted to. It was especially cool to be able to pair it to "ultimate" meaning "last" instead of (the more colloquial) "greatest".

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Penultimate isn't that uncommon? Just because you don't personally hear it in your day-to-day life doesn't mean other people don't use it.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

But what if your country doesn't have pennies?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Then it shouldn't have opossums.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

But Canada.

In this day and age, I sure hope Kharon would.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Oh you’re right! Those are going to be worth something someday..

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Especially when they're covered in green oxidized copper.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

I really like how the font changes in the speech bubbles based on who's talking.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

But that’s impossumble! 😲

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

I think this is a series, maybe post the rest?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

It is a series, you can click the source link given to continue.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

After finishing the series, I am upset and I want more!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It is! I don't want to spam though so my plan is to post the others over time.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Ok, made me laugh XD ty.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Don't pay the ferry man!

Charon is such a slut. He'll do anything for money.
