But what if your country doesn't have pennies?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Then it shouldn't have opossums.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 6 points 6 hours ago

Do you take card?

[–] credo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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

"He had the fucking coins, Paul!"

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

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

It goes to 8. The next one isn't titled like it continues, but it does. Keep clicking.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

I need more. I'm invested.

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.

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.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

kill everyone in valhalla and then

isn't that kind of the whole vibe? that's just, like, every day there right?

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Guy didn't get the memo and only signed for Valhalla expecting booze and hot Valkyries.

tbf those are just as prevalent.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

(pssht, don't tell them)

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 25 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 15 hours ago

Last line gets me

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Was he even really dead, at least before they shoved Pennie's down its throat?

[–] spieles21@feddit.org 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours 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

[–] nicky7@lemmy.ml 19 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 8 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] CustardFist 10 points 17 hours ago
